The HPE NS CS/SF Hybrid 42TB HDD Bundle (Q8B69A) is a pre-configured storage solution that combines high-capacity 4TB NL SAS hard drives with SSD read/write caching to optimize performance and capacity in HPE ProLiant and Apollo servers.
SKU Q8B69A includes six 4TB 7.2K RPM NL SAS HDDs, two 800GB M.2 SATA SSD modules for caching, drive carriers, mounting hardware, and necessary interconnect cables.
The bundle delivers 42 TB of raw capacity from six 4TB HDDs. Usable capacity depends on your chosen RAID level and parity overhead.
The M.2 SSD cache accelerates random read and write operations by storing frequently accessed data on high-speed flash, reducing I/O latency and boosting overall system responsiveness.
