FAQs
Is this drive compatible with standard laptops?
No, this is an enterprise-grade SAS drive designed for HPE MSA disk arrays and will not work in standard desktop or laptop SATA controllers.
What does 'Read Intensive' mean?
Read Intensive (RI) drives are optimized for workloads where the primary operation is reading data, typically featuring higher read speeds but lower endurance compared to Mixed Use or Write Intensive drives.
Does this drive support hot-swapping?
Yes, when installed in a compatible HPE MSA system, this drive supports hot-swapping, provided the enclosure supports it.
Can I use this in an HPE ProLiant server?
While it uses the same SFF form factor, it is specifically validated for the MSA storage series. Compatibility with ProLiant servers depends on the specific backplane and controller configuration.
What is the data transfer rate?
The drive supports a maximum data transfer rate of 12 Gbit/s via the SAS interface.
Troubleshooting
Drive not recognized by MSA system
Verify the drive is fully seated in the drive bay and check that the enclosure firmware is compatible with the R0Q37A.
Performance degradation reported
Check the MSA management console for any SMART errors or pending firmware updates; ensure the workload profile matches the Read Intensive designation.
