HPE Data Storage R0Q47A HPE MSA 1.92TB SAS RI SFF M2 SSD

Model SKU: R0Q47A

The HPE R0Q47A is an enterprise-grade Solid State Drive (SSD) specifically designed for the HPE MSA Gen6 (1060, 2060, and 2062) storage platforms. As a Read Intensive (RI) drive, it is engineered to deliver high-speed flash performance for workloads where data is read more frequently than it is written, providing a massive boost to application responsiveness at an optimized price point.

Performance Capabilities

• High IOPS Output: Capable of delivering tens of thousands of random read IOPS, eliminating the "I/O wait" times that often bottleneck modern multi-core processors.

• 12Gb SAS Bandwidth: The dual-port 12Gb SAS interface ensures high-speed data paths and hardware redundancy; if one path fails, the drive remains accessible through the second port.

• Predictable Latency: Unlike hard drives, this SSD provides consistent, sub-millisecond response times, which is critical for maintaining a smooth user experience in VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure).

• Data Integrity: Features power-loss protection and advanced error correction code (ECC) to ensure that data in flight is safely committed to the flash media even during an unexpected power event.

Core Advantages

• Flash-Speed Acceleration: Drastically reduces latency and increases IOPS compared to traditional spinning HDDs, making it the perfect upgrade for slow-performing databases or virtualized environments.

• MSA Gen6 Native Design: Features the M2 carrier, ensuring 100% mechanical and firmware compatibility with the latest MSA enclosures.

• Cost-Effective Performance: The "Read Intensive" classification offers a lower price-per-gigabyte than Mixed Use (MU) SSDs, making it ideal for web servers, boot volumes, and read-heavy analytics.

• Smart Health Monitoring: Fully integrates with HPE iLO and MSA Management Utility, providing predictive failure analysis and monitoring the remaining "wear life" of the drive.

• Power Efficiency: Consumes significantly less power and generates less heat than high-speed SAS hard drives, contributing to a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and improved system reliability.
