Capacity and interface
The HPE 480937-001 is a 146 GB internal hard drive with a SAS interface and a 3.5 inch form factor. It spins at 15000 rpm and supports hot-swap installation. The drive is designed for HP StorageWorks MSA2000 Arrays.
Sustained workload behaviour
At 15000 rpm the drive maintains consistent throughput for random I/O patterns typical of database and transaction processing. The SAS interface provides dual-port connectivity for path redundancy during continuous operation. Hot-swap capability allows replacement without array downtime.
Upgrade context
This drive replaces failed or lower-capacity SAS drives in MSA2000 arrays where 146 GB and 15000 rpm match the original specification. The jump is worth it when the array firmware recognises the part number and the workload demands the spindle speed. Buyers needing larger capacities or different interfaces should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
How much heat and noise does the 15000 rpm SAS drive add when it runs continuously in an MSA2000 array?
The 3.5-inch 15000 rpm SAS drive is built for hot-swap bays in HP StorageWorks MSA2000 arrays, where system fans handle airflow.
Which controller or backplane must I already have to install this 480937-001 drive?
It requires an HP StorageWorks MSA2000 array with SAS backplane slots that accept 3.5-inch hot-swap drives.
Will this 146 GB SAS drive work alongside older 3.5-inch drives already in my MSA2000?
Yes, it is qualified for HP StorageWorks MSA2000 arrays and can share the same SAS backplane with other compatible 3.5-inch drives.
