HPE 600GB 2.5" 12G 10K DP ENT SAS HDD

The HPE J9F46A is a 600GB enterprise hard drive created for administrators who rely on HPE MSA storage arrays. Built around a 2.5 inch form factor, it slides straight into enclosures such as the MSA1040, MSA2040, MSA2050, and earlier MSA2000 and P2000 models without any additional brackets or firmware updates.

This drive uses a 12 Gb/s SAS interface that moves data quickly and consistently, while the 10K RPM spindle speed helps applications that need fast access times, including virtualization hosts, database environments, and mixed-workload file shares. Two independent SAS ports provide redundant paths, so I/O keeps flowing even if one cable or controller path is interrupted.

Because HPE ships the J9F46A in the correct MSA tray and loads the proper firmware, installation is a simple hot-plug operation. Slide the carrier into an empty bay, let the array recognize the new resource, and you can immediately add the capacity to an existing volume group or create a new pool. This straightforward deployment is valuable for IT teams that need to scale storage quickly without downtime or complex configuration.

Whether you are expanding capacity for a branch office, refreshing drives in a production data center, or building a test lab that mirrors your primary environment, the J9F46A offers a balanced mix of performance, reliability, and easy integration inside any supported HPE MSA chassis.
