1 TB SAS drive for HP MSA 1040 arrays
This 2.5-inch enterprise hard drive delivers 1 TB of capacity on a 12Gb/s SAS interface. It is built for the HP MSA 1040 Storage Array and operates at 7200 rpm. The drive suits storage-system deployments that require SAS connectivity in a small form factor.
Sustained throughput on 12Gb/s SAS
A 7200 rpm spindle provides consistent rotational latency for mixed read-write workloads. The SAS interface maintains link speed during extended transfers without dropping to a lower rate. Mechanical latency remains stable across the full capacity because the drive does not rely on caching algorithms that degrade when full.
2.5-inch form factor limits
The 2.5-inch enclosure fits dense array bays but cannot accept a 3.5-inch chassis without an adapter. SAS cabling and backplane topology dictate the maximum device count per controller. The 12Gb/s standard sets the electrical ceiling, so the drive cannot exceed that signal rate even if the controller supports a newer generation.

Questions about this item
How much power does the 7200 rpm 12Gb/s SAS drive draw when it runs continuously?
The 2.5" form factor keeps power draw low for a 7200 rpm SAS drive, so it stays cool inside a storage enclosure all day.
What controller or backplane must my system provide for this SAS drive to work?
A 12Gb/s SAS backplane or HBA with a 2.5" drive bay is required; the drive is validated for the HP MSA 1040 Storage Array.
Will this 12Gb/s SAS drive negotiate down to an older 6Gb/s SAS backplane I already own?
Yes, the SAS interface auto-negotiates link speed, so the drive will operate at 6Gb/s on legacy backplanes without configuration changes.
