Product identity

The HPE MM2000JEFRC is a 2TB 2.5-inch SAS hard drive built for HPE MSA storage arrays. It targets IT teams who need midline capacity in a hot-swap tray that fits existing 12Gbps SAS backplanes.

Capacity and headroom

Two terabytes at 7200 RPM deliver ample space for bulk data, backups and archival workloads. The 512e format keeps compatibility with legacy operating systems while the 12Gbps dual-port interface sustains throughput for sequential workloads. Random I/O heavy databases will exhaust IOPS before capacity fills.

Smart Carrier tray

The bundled Smart Carrier caddy adds drive-status LEDs and a do-not-remove latch that prevents accidental ejection during rebuilds. It locks into MSA bays without tools and reports health through the array controller. No separate management software or mounting hardware is required.

  • 7 200 RPM spindle delivers responsive throughput
  • 12 Gbps SAS interface supports fast host transfers
  • 5 inch form factor fits dense drive bays

Questions about this item

Will this 12Gbps SAS drive work in my older 6Gbps backplane?

Yes, the 12Gbps SAS interface is backward compatible with 6Gbps and 3Gbps controllers, so the MM2000JEFRC will operate at the speed your backplane supports.

How do I verify the drive is healthy after installing it in my MSA array?

The HPE Smart Carrier provides a Do Not Remove LED and status LEDs; check the array controller management utility for SMART data and confirm the drive shows 2TB capacity and 7200RPM operation.

Does the box include only the bare drive or also the tray?

The product includes the HPE Smart Carrier caddy/tray pre-attached, so no separate tray purchase is needed for MSA hot-swap bays.
