Product overview
Part number X421A-R5 identifies this NetApp 450GB 10000RPM SAS 2.5-Inch hard Drive. Vendor-keyed firmware is the usual reason a mechanically identical drive is rejected by the controller, and a 450GB spare is not worth discovering that on. We check the firmware family against your controller before the drive ships.
Priced per unit, with tiered pricing at quantity — send the number you need and we will come back with the banded price.

What you get ordering this from us

Quoted and supplied against X421A-R5 specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.

Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is X421A-R5 genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes. Supplied new and unopened, so the manufacturer warranty and firmware update path stay supported. No grey-market stock and no refurbished units sold as new.
- Will X421A-R5 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.
