HPE R0Q54A 600GB Enterprise Hot-Swap 2.5″ SFF Hard Drive

HPE R0Q54A – 600 GB SAS 12 Gb/s 10 K RPM 2.5″ Enterprise Hard Drive

Overview

The HPE R0Q54A is a 600 GB, 2.5‑inch small form factor enterprise hard disk drive designed for performance‑sensitive storage arrays, especially those from the HPE MSA series. With a SAS interface running at 12 Gb/s and a spindle speed of 10,000 RPM, it is suitable for mid‑tier workloads where a balance of capacity and speed is needed—such as database log volumes, tier‑1 boot volumes, high‑transaction environments or mixed online/offline storage roles. It supports hot‑swap capability and fits in 2.5″ drive bays in compatible HPE storage enclosures, helping maintain serviceability in enterprise deployments.

Key Features

• 600 GB capacity in a 2.5″ enterprise format gives solid usable space while remaining in a high‑performance drive class.

• SAS interface rated at 12 Gb/s ensures the drive can operate within high‑bandwidth storage fabrics and keep up with modern controllers.

• 10,000 RPM spindle speed offers lower latency and higher I/O per second compared to standard 7,200 RPM drives—useful for transactional or mixed‑use storage tiers.

• Designed for HPE MSA and compatible enterprise arrays; ideal for array refreshes or as a replacement drive in high‑availability storage systems.
