The HPE MSA 1.2TB SAS 12G Enterprise 10K SFF (2.5″) HDD is a premium small-form-factor (SFF) hard disk designed for enterprise storage environments and SAN arrays, especially within HPE MSA storage systems (e.g., MSA 1060, 2060, 2062). It delivers fast access, high reliability, and robust throughput with a 10,000 RPM spindle speed and a 12 Gbps SAS interface, making it ideal for transactional databases, virtualization layers, high-I/O workloads, and mixed-application tiers.
This drive supports dual-port SAS connectivity for redundancy and high availability, hot-swappable operation for minimal maintenance disruption, and is tailored to fit 2.5″ SFF bays in rack servers and storage shelves. Many variants include enterprise-grade durability and advanced error recovery, often backed by a standard limited warranty.
1.2 TB (1200 GB) storage capacity — balanced size for performance-focused tiers.
10,000 RPM rotational speed — lower latency and higher IOPS compared with 7.2K drives.
12 Gb/s SAS interface — high-speed enterprise connectivity with full-duplex transfer.
Dual-port SAS — improved redundancy and multi-path access in SANs.
2.5″ Small Form Factor (SFF) — fits dense storage enclosures and servers.
Hot-swappable architecture — replace or service without powering down systems.
Advanced Format (512n/512e) — efficient sector layout for modern enterprise use.
Optimized for Continuous Operation — suited for heavy usage and SAN workloads.
Designed for HPE MSA Arrays — optimized for HPE MSA 1060, 2060, 2062 and compatible systems.
Enterprise duty rating — high MTBF and durability for critical applications.
Predictive monitoring supported — integrates with storage management tools.
