    HPE 872848-005 900GB 15K-RPM SAS 12Gb/s SFF Hard Drive

    The HPE 872848-005 is a genuine 900GB SAS Enterprise hard drive built for legacy HPE ProLiant G5-G7 server environments and select MSA storage arrays where performance, uptime, and data integrity are absolutely critical. Spinning at an industry-leading 15,000 RPM with an average seek time of just 2.72ms, it is engineered to deliver maximum IOPS and minimal latency for transaction processing, database workloads, and other mission-critical deployments where every millisecond matters. The 12Gb/s SAS interface provides a data transfer rate of 1.2 Gbps, ensuring your most demanding applications never wait for storage.

    What sets this drive apart is its 512n native sector format, ensuring broad compatibility with legacy operating systems and applications running on ProLiant G5-G7 platforms. The drive features Digitally Signed (DS) firmware, which provides the security and assurance that drive firmware comes from a trusted source and protects against malicious attacks. Robust SAS interface with dual-port full-duplex connectivity provides built-in redundancy, boosting availability and fault tolerance in enterprise environments. As an Enterprise (ENT) class drive, it offers the highest level of performance and reliability for 24/7 data center operations. It comes with an HPE Standard Carrier (ST) pre-attached, featuring a genuine HPE serial number and security sticker, making it ready for hot-plug installation in compatible ProLiant G5-G7 systems and MSA arrays.

    All HPE hard drives pass a rigorous qualification process, which certifies that every drive is proven to perform in your HPE ProLiant Server and MSA storage environments. Because this is a genuine HPE component rather than a generic or rebadged drive, it carries original HPE firmware and a genuine HPE security sticker. That matters when you're replacing a drive in a live production server or array — mismatched or unverified parts can cause RAID rebuild failures, performance degradation, or even system crashes.

    FAQs

    Is the HPE 872848-005 compatible with my ProLiant Gen8 or newer server?

    No. The 872848-005 uses a Standard Carrier (ST) designed for ProLiant G5-G7 servers and select MSA arrays. For Gen8 and newer ProLiant servers, you need a drive with a Smart Carrier (SC) or Basic Carrier (BC). Contact us with your server model and we will identify the correct part number for your system.

    What is the difference between the 872848-005 and the 872846-B21?

    The 872848-005 is the assembly part number used for field replacement and service. The 872846-B21 is the option part number for the retail kit. Both are the same physical drive: a 900GB 15K SAS 2.5" SFF Enterprise HDD with a Standard Carrier. The 872848-005 is also available as a spare part under number 873033-001.

    Can I use the HPE 872848-005 in my HPE MSA P2000 G3 array?

    Yes, the 872848-005 is compatible with HPE MSA P2000 G3 arrays that use 2.5" SFF drive bays with Standard Carrier (ST) support. It is also compatible with MSA 1040 and 2040 arrays in SFF chassis configurations. Our free compatibility verification confirms your exact array model and firmware revision before shipping.
