The HPE QR498A delivers the balanced performance and reliability that storage architects depend on in mission-critical nearline environments. Built as part of the HPE M6710 product line, this 1TB SFF 2.5-inch NL-SAS HDD combines a 6Gb/s SAS interface with 7,200 RPM spindle speed to meet the throughput demands of high-capacity storage arrays without sacrificing power efficiency. Each drive ships with HPE SmartDrive factory-validated firmware, ensuring seamless integration and predictable behavior across HPE storage platforms from day one.
The QR498A operates reliably across the 5°C to 60°C temperature envelope typical of modern data centers and edge facilities. Its dual-port SAS configuration and nearline classification make it the go-to choice for IT procurement teams building out cost-effective, dense storage capacity across HPE MSA, HPE 3PAR StoreServ, and HPE Primera arrays. Part number QR498A is validated for seamless deployment in environments where continuous availability and predictable performance matter more than maximum IOPS.
