HPE Q8F04A 4TB 7.2K-RPM SAS 6Gb/s LFF Hard Drive
The HPE Q8F04A is a genuine 4TB SAS Midline hard drive purpose-built for HPE Nimble Storage CS and SF Series arrays, as well as HPE SimpliVity infrastructures. Spinning at 7,200 RPM with a 128MB cache buffer, it's engineered to support capacity tiers, backup repositories, file services, and general-purpose data storage with a balanced approach to speed and economy. The 6Gb/s SAS interface provides a stable, high-throughput connection, ensuring seamless integration with SAS-enabled Nimble backplanes.
What sets this drive apart is its purpose-built design for Nimble CS/SF platforms, maintaining consistent drive populations during replacements and upgrades. As a Midline (MDL) drive, it offers an ideal balance between performance and cost — more robust than desktop drives with better reliability for 24/7 operation, yet more affordable than high-performance Enterprise models. The drive comes with an HPE Nimble-specific tray pre-attached, making it ready for hot-swap installation in compatible arrays.
Because this is a genuine HPE component rather than a generic or rebadged drive, it carries original HPE firmware and a genuine HPE serial number. That matters when you're replacing a drive in a live Nimble storage array — mismatched or unverified parts can cause array dropouts or degraded performance.
