HPE 787336-001 400 GB 2.5" SAS 12Gb/s internal solid state drive

HPE 787336-001 400 GB SAS 12Gb/s SSD

This HPE solid state drive provides 400 GB of storage in a 2.5 inch internal form factor. It connects through a SAS interface operating at 12Gb/s. The drive is designed for use in HPE MSA 2040 SAN Storage systems. It ships in new condition with packaging that may vary.

Replacing mechanical SAS drives in MSA 2040 arrays

The drive upgrades storage systems currently using spinning SAS disks of the same physical size and interface. The jump is worth it when the workload needs lower latency and higher IOPS without changing cabling or controller hardware. It fits directly into existing 2.5 inch drive bays. The 12Gb/s link matches current controller speeds.

Suited for HPE MSA 2040 SAN capacity expansion

This unit suits administrators expanding capacity or refreshing tiers inside a compatible MSA 2040 enclosure. Buyers who need a different interface, a larger capacity, or support for non-HPE arrays should look at other options. The fixed 400 GB capacity may not meet high-density requirements. Compatibility is limited to the stated storage system.
