The HPE 697389-001 is a genuine 900GB SAS Enterprise hard drive built for HPE 3PAR storage environments where performance, uptime, and consistent data access matter most. Spinning at 10,000 RPM, it's engineered to keep pace with heavy read/write demand in 3PAR StoreServ arrays, transaction processing, and other latency-sensitive deployments. The 6Gb/s SAS interface provides a stable, high-throughput connection between the drive and its host storage controller, which is exactly what 3PAR StoreServ 7000 series systems and M6710 drive enclosures are built around.
Because this is a genuine HPE component rather than a generic or rebadged drive, it's manufactured to the same tolerances and firmware compatibility standards as the original array configuration. That matters when you're replacing a failed drive in a live array — mismatched or unverified parts can cause RAID rebuild failures or degraded performance. The 697389-001's 2.5" SFF chassis is purpose-built to slot directly into compatible high-density drive bays, often including a 3PAR hot-plug drive tray, so installation is straightforward for IT teams managing active storage infrastructure.
This drive is built specifically around HPE's 3PAR storage architecture, which means it's designed to work within the storage enclosures and backplanes that were engineered to support SAS interfaces. Before ordering, it's worth double-checking your exact array model and backplane revision, since SAS storage systems can vary in supported drive firmware across generations. In general, this drive fits into:
Verify Array Model Before Ordering
When you're sourcing a replacement drive for an active 3PAR storage array, the difference between a genuine part and an unverified clone shows up the first time you need to rebuild a RAID set. The 697389-001 is HPE-manufactured, which means it carries the firmware and mechanical tolerances your array's controller already expects — no compatibility guesswork, no risk of a failed rebuild because of a mismatched drive. Here's what makes it worth choosing over a cheaper, unverified alternative:
This drive fits teams maintaining 3PAR storage infrastructure who need dependable, high-performance storage without downtime. Common deployment scenarios include:
It's built for HPE 3PAR StoreServ 7000, 7200, 7400 series and M6710 drive enclosures using a SAS 6Gb/s backplane, but compatibility can vary by array model and firmware revision. It's best to confirm your exact array configuration before placing an order.
10K RPM drives deliver faster data access, lower latency, and higher IOPS performance compared to 7.2K RPM drives, making them ideal for mission-critical applications and high-transaction workloads.
Yes, this drive is typically bundled with a 3PAR hot-plug hard drive tray (as pictured), which makes it ready for installation in compatible HPE 3PAR storage systems.
