R0Q57A is the HPE option part number for MSA 2.4TB SAS 12G Enterprise 10K SFF (2.5in) M2 HDD. It is a 2.4 TB hot-swap hard drive in a 2.5-inch small form factor carrier, built for MSA 1060 and MSA 2060 storage arrays. The drive uses a single SAS 12 Gb/s port on a Serial Attached SCSI 3 interface and spins at 10,000 rpm, placing it between higher-capacity midline drives and SSDs in an MSA tiering plan. Specify it when you are populating 2.5-inch SFF bays and need enterprise SAS capacity that can be installed or replaced without powering down the array.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT R0Q57A
What is the difference between R0Q57A and P13247-001?
They are the same physical drive under two HPE numbering schemes. R0Q57A, the number on this page, is the option part number, the orderable SKU used when configuring or expanding an array. P13247-001 is the spare part number, which is what typically appears on the drive label and in service documentation. The hardware, capacity, interface and spindle speed are identical; only the ordering context differs.
Which systems does R0Q57A fit?
R0Q57A is an MSA drive and is listed as compatible with the HPE MSA 1060 and MSA 2060 arrays. It requires a 2.5-inch SFF drive bay, so it fits SFF enclosures and SFF expansion shelves in those platforms. Confirm your enclosure uses SFF bays rather than LFF before ordering, and check the array's own drive support list for your firmware level.
What are the core specifications?
R0Q57A is a 2.4 TB hard drive with a 10,000 rpm spindle speed. It uses a Serial Attached SCSI 3 interface with a single SAS port rated at 12 Gb/s, and it ships in a 2.5-inch (6.4 cm) small form factor hot-swap carrier. The 12 Gb/s figure is the interface link rate, not sustained media throughput, which is bounded by the mechanics of a 10K rotational drive.
Can R0Q57A be replaced without shutting the array down?
Yes. It is a hot-swap drive in an SFF carrier, so it can be inserted or removed while the array remains powered, subject to the MSA management software and the redundancy of the disk group it belongs to. Follow the array's procedure for failing or removing a member drive so rebuild behavior is handled correctly by the controller.
How does a 10K SAS drive fit alongside other MSA media?
At 10,000 rpm with a 12 Gb/s SAS interface, R0Q57A targets general-purpose enterprise workloads that need more capacity per bay than an SSD tier typically provides while retaining better rotational latency than slower archival drives. In MSA 1060 and MSA 2060 configurations it is commonly used to build the bulk capacity tier in SFF enclosures.
