Q8H44A is the 21TB head HDD bundle for the HPE Nimble Storage Adaptive Flash HF40, HF40C, HF60 and HF60C arrays. HPE names it as 21 x 1TB drives supplied as a factory-installed (FIO) bundle and does not offer it for the HF20 family.
For a 21TB head, HPE gives the minimum head SSD cache as 720GB on an HF40C, 1440GB on an HF40, and 1440GB on both the HF60C and HF60. The HF40 holds 1.4 to 48 TB of flash and the HF60 1.4 to 156 TB, with a raw capacity range of 21 to 504 TB on the HF40 and 21 to 1260 TB on the HF60.
Each controller on the HF40 carries 64 GB of RAM and each HF60 controller carries 160 GB. HPE rates the HF40 at 850 W maximum power (0.944 kVA) and the HF60 at 900 W (1.000 kVA). Both models use two 10GBASE-T ports per controller, giving four onboard iSCSI or management ports per array.
Optional host ports on these arrays include 25Gb iSCSI and 32Gb Fibre Channel, for example the R3Q00A 2x25GbE adapter kit and the R4G78A 2x32Gb Fibre Channel adapter kit. The HPE Nimble category lists more Nimble parts.
