HPE 900 GB SAS 15000 RPM drive

The HPE R0Q53A is a 900 GB internal hard drive spinning at 15000 RPM. It uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface and a 2.5 inch form factor. The unit is supplied new and targets enterprise storage workloads.

Fits 2.5 inch SAS bays and MSA systems

This drive installs in any 2.5 inch bay wired for SAS 12Gb/s connectivity. It draws power and data through the standard SAS connector, so no extra adapters are required. The small form factor frees space in dense storage arrays.

Suits high-throughput transactional workloads

Buyers needing maximum IOPS for databases or virtualisation will benefit from the 15000 RPM spindle. Those who want larger capacity per drive or lower power consumption should look at alternatives.

Questions about this item

How does the 15000 RPM spindle speed affect sustained throughput?

The 15000 RPM rotation reduces average latency and supports higher sustained transfer rates during continuous read or write workloads.

What are the thermal and acoustic characteristics of the 2.5 inch 15000 RPM drive during all-day operation?

The 2.5 inch form factor and 15000 RPM motor require sufficient chassis airflow to manage heat and keep acoustic output within typical enterprise limits.

Which storage system is required to use the SAS 12Gb/s interface on this drive?

The drive is listed as compatible with HPE MSA Storage Systems that provide a 12Gb/s SAS backplane.
