HPE R0Q65A

Overview

The HPE R0Q65A is a bundle of six enterprise-class 2.5-inch SAS hard drives designed specifically for HPE MSA storage arrays. Together, these drives provide a total capacity of 7.2 TB, with each drive offering 1.2 TB of storage. Featuring a 10,000 RPM spindle speed and a 12G SAS interface, they deliver fast and reliable data transfer rates up to 1.2 GB per second, making them well suited for demanding workloads such as databases, virtual machines, and high-volume file sharing.

These drives come pre-installed in second generation MSA carriers with hot-plug trays, enabling quick and tool-free installation or replacement without interrupting system uptime. Their small 2.5-inch form factor helps conserve valuable rack space, allowing for efficient storage expansion in environments with limited physical room.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
