The HPE R0Q56A is a 1.8TB SAS 12Gb/s enterprise-class hard disk drive engineered for high-availability storage arrays requiring sustained performance and reliability. This SFF 2.5-inch drive operates at 10,000 RPM and connects via dual-port SAS-3 (12Gb/s) interfaces, delivering the speed and redundancy essential for mission-critical data centers.
Storage architects and IT procurement teams select the HPE M2 Series HDD—specifically the R0Q56A part number—when building or expanding HPE MSA arrays, HPE 3PAR StoreServ systems, or HPE Primera platforms. The 1.8TB formatted capacity, combined with 10,000 RPM rotational performance, strikes an optimal balance for enterprises that need high IOPS density without sacrificing reliability. Organizations running consolidated workloads, virtualization clusters, and transactional databases rely on enterprise-class drives like this to reduce latency while maintaining the fault tolerance their SLAs demand.
Omnixon Global supplies the HPE R0Q56A and supplies the UAE's leading financial services, telecommunications, and government IT operations with certified HPE storage hardware.
