1.2 TB dual-port SAS drive for servers

This HPE MSA enterprise drive delivers 1.2 TB of storage on a SAS 12Gb/s interface with dual-port connectivity for path redundancy. The 10,000 RPM spindle provides low latency for transactional workloads in 2.5-inch bays. It is built as an HP Qualified Option for managed storage arrays and server environments.

Capacity and sustained throughput headroom

The 1.2 TB capacity suits database logs, virtualisation images and mixed read/write workloads that benefit from 10K RPM mechanical speed. Performance scales with queue depth on the 12 Gbit/s link, but sequential throughput is limited by the physical spindle and will not match solid-state media. Workloads needing sub-millisecond latency or higher IOPS should consider flash alternatives.

Dual-port SAS and qualified firmware

Dual-port SAS enables multipath I/O and automatic failover without additional cabling. HP-qualified firmware ensures compatibility with MSA controllers and supported ProLiant servers, reducing integration risk. The drive ships in single-unit retail or OEM packaging; no mounting brackets, cables or management software are included in the box.

Questions about this item

Will the J9F48A 1.2 TB SAS 12Gb/s drive work in my older server that only has 6Gb/s SAS backplanes?

Yes, the SAS 12Gb/s interface negotiates down to 6Gb/s automatically, so the 1.2 TB drive will operate on your existing backplane at the lower speed.

How can I verify the 10000 RPM drive is healthy after installing it in my HPE MSA array?

Run the HPE Smart Storage Administrator surface scan and SMART test; a clean result with no reallocated sectors confirms the 10K RPM mechanism is functioning correctly.

Does the single-pack J9F48A include a 2.5" drive carrier or mounting screws for my server bay?

The single pack contains only the bare 2.5" enterprise hard drive; a compatible HPE drive carrier or caddy must be purchased separately for installation.
