Capacity and interface

This 3.84TB enterprise SSD uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface and a 2.5-inch form factor. It is built for read-intensive workloads in storage systems. The drive is new and intended for internal installation.

Read-intensive workload fit

The endurance rating targets read-heavy applications such as content repositories or analytics datasets. It is not suited for write-intensive databases, logging arrays or mixed workloads that demand higher write endurance. Buyers needing greater write durability should consider a different endurance class.

SAS 12Gb/s host requirement

The single specification that decides compatibility is the SAS 12Gb/s interface. The host controller and backplane must support this standard for the drive to operate at its rated speed. Compatibility is confirmed for HPE MSA SAN storage systems.

Questions about this item

Will the 12Gb/s SAS interface work with my existing 6Gb/s SAS backplane?

The drive negotiates down to 6Gb/s automatically, so it will operate on a 6Gb/s backplane at the lower speed.

How can I verify the 3.84TB capacity is recognised after installation?

Check the array controller BIOS or OS disk utility; it should report 3.84TB of usable space with no unallocated gaps.

Does the R3R30A ship with a drive carrier or do I need to order one separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare 2.5" unit; a compatible HPE Smart Carrier must be purchased separately for hot-plug bays.
