HPE P13948-001 1.8TB 10K-RPM SAS 12Gb/s SFF Hard Drive
The HPE P13948-001 is a genuine 1.8TB SAS Enterprise hard drive built for HPE MSA storage environments where performance, uptime, and data integrity are absolutely critical. Spinning at 10,000 RPM with a 256MB cache buffer and a sustained transfer rate of 1200 MB/s, it is engineered to deliver high IOPS and low latency for transaction processing, database workloads, and other I/O-intensive deployments. The 12Gb/s SAS interface ensures your MSA arrays never become the bottleneck.
What sets this drive apart is its purpose-built design for HPE MSA Gen6 systems. The drive ships with a 2nd generation M2 carrier, ensuring seamless integration with MSA 1060, 2060, 2062, and compatible drive enclosures. It features a 512e Advanced Format sector format for improved data integrity and broad compatibility with modern operating systems. It also supports 24/7 operation and is built on the proven Seagate Exos 10E2400 platform. As an Enterprise (ENT) class drive, it offers the highest level of performance and reliability for 24/7 array operations.
All HPE hard drives pass a rigorous qualification process, which certifies that every drive is proven to perform in your HPE MSA environments. Because this is a genuine HPE component rather than a generic or rebadged drive, it carries original HPE MSA firmware and a genuine HPE security sticker. That matters when you're replacing a drive in a live production array — mismatched or unverified parts can cause rebuild failures, performance degradation, or even array downtime.

FAQs
Why should I choose the HPE P13948-001 over a cheaper generic SAS drive for my MSA 2060 array?
The HPE P13948-001 delivers genuine HPE MSA firmware, a 256MB cache, 10K RPM performance, 512e Advanced Format, and an included 2nd generation M2 carrier that generic drives cannot match. It is purpose-built for MSA Gen6 arrays and carries the exact firmware revision your controller expects. We back it with a 3-year warranty and free compatibility check to ensure a perfect fit for your MSA array.
What is the difference between the P13948-001, R0Q56A, and P13246-001?
These are three part numbers for the same physical drive. P13948-001 is the assembly part number used for field replacement and service orders. R0Q56A is the option part number for the retail kit with documentation. P13246-001 is the spare part number used for warranty replacement. All three refer to a 1.8TB 10K SAS 2.5" SFF drive with MSA M2 carrier.
Can I order multiple HPE P13948-001 drives for a spare pool or array expansion?
Yes. We stock bulk quantities of the P13948-001, including 5-pack and 6-pack configurations for larger deployments. Volume pricing is available, and we can pre-verify firmware across the entire batch so every drive is rebuild-ready for your MSA arrays.
