900 GB SAS 6Gb/s Enterprise Drive
The HP N9X06A is a 2.5-inch internal hard drive built for business storage systems. It delivers 900 GB of capacity on a SAS 6Gb/s interface and spins at 10000 RPM. This drive suits administrators expanding HP StoreVirtual 3000 arrays or similar enterprise platforms. It is supplied as a bare drive without retail packaging.
Sustained 10000 RPM Operation
The spindle maintains 10000 RPM continuously rather than only during brief bursts. This steady speed keeps latency predictable for random I/O workloads such as database logs or virtual machine storage. The SAS 6Gb/s link supports the throughput needed for sustained sequential transfers. Performance remains consistent across the full 900 GB capacity.
SAS 6Gb/s Interface Limits
The drive uses a SAS 6Gb/s connection while the interface standard supports up to 12Gb/s. This means the drive will negotiate at 6Gb/s even when attached to a 12Gb/s backplane or controller. Bandwidth is therefore capped at the 6Gb/s rate for both reads and writes. Buyers needing the higher 12Gb/s link speed should select a drive rated for that standard.

Questions about this item
How much power does the 10000 RPM SAS drive draw during continuous operation?
The 10000 RPM spindle speed and SAS 12Gb/s interface are designed for enterprise storage systems where power profiles are managed by the enclosure.
What controller or backplane is required to run this 2.5" SAS drive?
A SAS 12Gb/s controller or backplane with 2.5" drive bays is needed to connect the 6Gb/s interface drive to the host system.
Will this 900GB drive work in an HP StoreVirtual 3000 Storage System alongside existing drives?
Yes, the drive is listed as compatible with the HP StoreVirtual 3000 Storage System and matches the 2.5" SAS form factor used in that platform.
