BRAND NEW WITH FULL HPE WARRANTY!!!

Overview

The K2Q82A HPE MSA 4TB 12G SAS 7.2K LFF Midline Hard Drive is an enterprise storage drive designed for compatible HPE MSA storage arrays. It provides 4TB of raw capacity, a 12Gb/s SAS interface, and a rotational speed of 7,200 RPM. Its 3.5-inch Large Form Factor design makes it suitable for supported storage enclosures that require qualified HPE MSA drive options.

Designed for capacity-focused business storage, the K2Q82A supports deployments involving shared files, departmental data, backup repositories, and centralized storage. Its dual-port SAS design supports compatible enterprise storage architectures, while its hot-plug capability allows drive replacement in supported systems according to the manufacturer's maintenance procedures.

This drive is intended for compatible HPE MSA platforms rather than universal installation in any server with a 3.5-inch bay. Before ordering, confirm array compatibility, drive carrier requirements, firmware support, and the warranty applicable to the supplied unit.
