HPE 846522-003 3TB 7.2K-RPM SATA 6Gb/s LFF Hard Drive
The HPE 846522-003 (Option Part: 861693-B21 / SmartBuy: 861693-S21 / Spare: 862129-001 / Model: MB3000GVYZH) is a genuine 3TB SATA Midline hard drive built for enterprise storage environments where cost-per-gigabyte and dependable performance are essential. Spinning at 7,200 RPM with Native Command Queuing support, it's engineered to support entry-level server workloads, backup operations, and archival storage tiers with a balanced approach to speed and economy. The 6Gb/s SATA interface provides a stable, high-throughput connection with a data transfer rate of 750 MB/s, which is exactly what ProLiant Gen8, Gen9, and Gen10 servers are built around.
What sets this drive apart is its 512n sector format, ensuring broad compatibility with legacy operating systems and applications. 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. As a Midline (MDL) drive, it offers an ideal balance between performance and cost — more robust than desktop drives with better reliability for 24/7 operation, yet more affordable than high-performance Enterprise models. It comes with an HPE SmartDrive Carrier (SC) pre-attached (as pictured), featuring system status LEDs, a "Do-Not-Remove" button to prevent accidental drive removal, and a remote activation LED for streamlined maintenance in large server arrays.
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 server — mismatched or unverified parts can cause RAID rebuild failures or degraded performance.
