Frequently Asked Questions
Is the HPE K2P98B available refurbished? +
Yes. This page lists the refurbished condition currently available from BuyRouterSwitch. Availability can change, especially for bulk orders.
Can I request bulk pricing for K2P98B? +
Yes. Businesses, resellers, MSPs, government buyers and procurement teams can request custom quantity pricing.
Does BuyRouterSwitch ship K2P98B internationally? +
BuyRouterSwitch ships enterprise IT hardware to customers in the United States and international markets, subject to destination and product restrictions.
What storage system is the HPE K2P98B drive specifically designed to support? +
The K2P98B is a dedicated 600GB 15K SAS drive engineered specifically for the HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 storage array family. It is optimized to integrate seamlessly into 3PAR controller nodes and drive enclosures, ensuring high-performance tiered storage for mission-critical enterprise workloads that demand low latency and rapid data access.
Does the K2P98B drive come with the required software licensing? +
Yes, the K2P98B SKU includes the necessary software enablement for the HPE 3PAR 8000 series. This ensures that the drive is fully recognized by the 3PAR Operating System upon insertion, allowing for immediate integration into your existing storage pool configurations without requiring separate software purchases to activate the physical media.
What are the performance benefits of using 15K RPM drives in a 3PAR environment? +
Deploying 15K SAS SFF drives like the K2P98B significantly reduces seek times and increases input/output operations per second (IOPS) compared to standard 7.2K or 10K drives. This makes them ideal for database applications, transactional processing, and virtualized environments where high-speed, consistent data throughput is essential for maintaining application performance.
Are these 2.5-inch drives compatible with older 3PAR 7000 series arrays? +
The K2P98B is specifically qualified for the HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 series storage architecture. We advise checking the latest HPE 3PAR configuration guide or your current firmware release notes, as drive compatibility is strictly managed by the 3PAR OS to ensure system stability and predictable performance across the storage tiering environment.
How should I plan for drive failure in a 3PAR 8000 array using K2P98B units? +
The 3PAR 8000 series utilizes advanced RAID protection and sparing strategies to handle drive failures. When a drive failure occurs, the system automatically reconstructs data onto available spare space. Maintaining a buffer of spare drives is standard practice to ensure rapid rebuild times and continuous availability during unexpected hardware events.
Can the K2P98B be hot-swapped during active data operations? +
Absolutely. The K2P98B is designed for hot-swappable deployment within the HPE 3PAR 8000 drive enclosure. This architecture allows IT administrators to replace faulty drives or expand storage capacity without interrupting ongoing host-level I/O, maintaining the high availability standards required for enterprise-grade 3PAR storage deployments.
What is the physical form factor of the K2P98B hard drive? +
This unit is a Small Form Factor (SFF) 2.5-inch SAS hard disk drive. This compact design is vital for the 3PAR 8000 enclosure architecture, allowing for higher drive density per rack unit, which improves both your storage capacity per square foot and the overall airflow efficiency within the server cabinet.
Does the 15K rotational speed impact the power consumption of the storage array? +
While 15K drives perform at a higher tier than 7.2K drives, the 3PAR 8000 series power management features are designed to handle these drives efficiently. When planning your power infrastructure, account for the peak power draw associated with high-performance spinning media to ensure your array remains within the rated power budget of your rack PDU.
How can I obtain a competitive bulk quote for multiple K2P98B drives? +
