Product overview
Part number R3R46A identifies this HPE 1.2TB 2.5in SAS 10K hot-swap hard drive, TAA compliant (for HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000-series storage systems). Vendor-keyed firmware is the usual reason a mechanically identical drive is rejected by the controller, and a 1.2TB spare is not worth discovering that on. We check the firmware family against your controller before the drive ships.
Quote requests are answered within 48 business hours, with availability confirmed before you raise a purchase order rather than after.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
R3R46A is what is quoted and R3R46A is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.
Answered by a human
A quote comes back with the reasoning attached, including the cases where we think you should buy something else.
Spares held to a fleet standard
Tell us the chassis you run and we will keep the spare consistent with what is already in the shelf.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is R3R46A genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes, new and sealed, with the HPE warranty and the firmware update path intact. We do not sell refurbished stock as new, and we do not source grey-market units.
Will R3R46A work in my server?
Send the server model or the shelf it is going into. Vendor-keyed firmware is the usual reason an identical-looking drive is rejected, so we check that alongside interface and form factor.
Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
Yes. Purchase orders are accepted from qualified organisations, net terms are available on approval, and tiered pricing applies at quantity. Tell us how many you need.

Specifying a system, not just the part?
Bulk capacity usually sits behind the flash tier that feeds a training cluster rather than under it.
