Capacity and interface

The HPE Q2R41A is a 2.4TB 2.5" internal hard drive that connects through a SAS 12Gb/s interface and spins at 10000 RPM. It is built for server and storage arrays that require high-throughput block access. The drive carries the manufacturer part number Q2R41A and is supplied new.

Suited workloads and limits

This drive suits administrators expanding an HPE MSA 2040 Storage system or similar SAS-attached arrays needing 2.4TB of 10000 RPM capacity. It is not for systems that lack a SAS 12Gb/s backplane or HBA, nor for workloads that demand solid-state latency or a different physical form factor.

Deciding specification

The single specification that decides fit is the SAS 12Gb/s interface combined with the 2.5" 10000 RPM form factor; the host must provide a compatible SAS connection and bay to use this drive.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the 2.5" 10000 RPM SAS drive produce when running continuously?

The 2.5-inch 10000 RPM mechanism generates more heat and audible seek noise than slower drives; ensure the server chassis provides adequate airflow for sustained operation.

What host interface and backplane does the Q2R41A require to operate?

It needs a SAS 12Gb/s host bus adapter or RAID controller and a 2.5-inch SAS backplane or drive bay with power and signal connectors.

Will this drive work in an HPE MSA 2040 array alongside existing 6Gb/s SAS drives?

Yes, the SAS 12Gb/s interface is backward compatible with 6Gb/s backplanes, so it can join an MSA 2040 pool with older drives at the lower link speed.
