HPE R3R30A 3.84TB SAS 12G Read Intensive SSD

HPE R3R30A 3.84TB SAS 12G Read Intensive SSD – in Dubai

Overview:

The HPE R3R30A is a 3.84 TB read‑intensive SAS solid‑state drive designed for enterprise Modular Smart Array (MSA) storage systems, targeted at infrastructure engineers and storage architects requiring high capacity read‑centric storage in SAN tiers. It delivers large capacity in a 2.5″ small form factor while maintaining SAS 12 Gb/s throughput for consistent access patterns.
This SSD uses a SAS 12 Gb/s interface with hot‑swap support and is compatible with HPE MSA Gen6 through Gen7+ platforms, including 1060, 2060, 2062, and 2070 series arrays plus compatible 24‑drive SFF enclosures.
Deployment is typical in storage capacity tiers where sustained read performance is prioritized over write endurance, improving throughput for archival reads, tiered storage, and large dataset retrieval operations.
The module connects to standard SAS backplanes using the M2 carrier, enabling serviceability and scalability in clustered storage designs.
This drive is not recommended for cache acceleration or mixed write‑intensive workloads; it is optimized for read‑dominant SAN and array usage.

Typical Deployment Scenarios:

• Primary read‑centric capacity tier in HPE MSA SAN arrays
• Hot‑swappable SSD tier in 2.5″ 12 Gb/s SAS shelves
• Archival retrieval and read‑optimized applications
• Tiered storage configurations with mixed media
• High‑density SFF storage expansion
