    From HPE

    HPE 861608-001 8TB 7.2K-RPM SAS 12Gb/s LFF Hard Drive

    The HPE 861608-001 (Option Part: 861592-B21 / SmartBuy: 861592-S21 / Assembly: 857642-001 / Model: MB008000JWAYH) is a genuine 8TB SAS Midline hard drive built for enterprise storage environments where massive capacity and dependable performance are essential. Spinning at 7,200 RPM with a 256MB DDR3 cache buffer and an 8.0ms average seek time, it's engineered to support server workloads, backup operations, and archival storage tiers with a balanced approach to speed and economy. The 12Gb/s SAS interface provides a stable, high-throughput connection with a data transfer rate of 1.2 GBps, which is exactly what ProLiant Gen10 through Gen12 servers are built around.

    What sets this drive apart is its Helium-sealed design, which reduces power consumption and improves storage density, making it ideal for high-capacity enterprise environments. Although hard drives are sealed, they have air inside. Air can create turbulence-induced vibrations which can limit the storage density of HDDs. Helium-filled drives virtually eliminate turbulence because helium is 1/7th as dense as air. This lower density allows the read/write mechanism to spin more easily and precisely, with less drag. Less internal turbulence means the drive platters can be closer together, allowing more platters and increasing the capacity potential in the same space. Less turbulence also means helium drives tend to use less power, and run cooler and quieter.

    The drive features 512e Advanced Format, ensuring compatibility with both legacy 512-byte and modern 4KiB-aligned operating systems and applications. It also 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 with an MTBF of 2 million hours, 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 Low Profile Carrier (LPc) pre-attached, featuring a genuine HPE serial number and security sticker, making it ready for installation in compatible ProLiant systems.

    All HPE hard drives pass a rigorous qualification process, which certifies that every drive is proven to perform in your HPE ProLiant Server environments. Before final certification, all HPE Server Midline Hard Drives are optimized for compatibility and functionality, including support of SMART and HPE Systems Insight Manager.

    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.

    Compatibility Guide for HPE 861608-001 SAS Hard Drive

    This HPE 861608-001 8TB SAS hard drive is built specifically for HPE's ProLiant server architecture with Low Profile Carrier (LPc) compatibility, which means it's designed to work within the storage enclosures and backplanes that were engineered to support SAS interfaces with LPc drive bays. It is compatible with a broad range of HPE ProLiant server models across multiple generations.

    HPE ProLiant Gen10/Gen10+/Gen11/Gen12 Servers (3.5" LPc Bays):

    • DL Series: DL20 Gen10/G10+, DL160 Gen10, DL325 Gen10/G10+/Gen11, DL345 Gen10+/Gen11, DL360 Gen10+/Gen11, DL365 Gen10+/Gen11, DL380 Gen10+/Gen11, DL385 Gen10+/Gen11, DL560 Gen11
    • ML Series: ML30 Gen10/G10+, ML110 Gen10/Gen11, ML350 Gen10/Gen11
    • Apollo Systems: Apollo 4200 Gen10, Apollo 4510 Gen9 (3.5"), Apollo 4530 Gen9 (3.5")

    Compatibility Notes:

    • For use with Gen10, Gen10+, Gen11, and Gen12 servers with 3.5" LFF LPc drive bays
    • Not recommended for Gen9 or earlier servers — use standard LFF carrier drives
    • Not for use with HPE MSA storage arrays
    • This drive uses a Low Profile Carrier (LPc) that is different from standard LFF carriers
    • If unsure about compatibility, contact us for a free verification check

    Why Buy the HPE 861608-001 8TB SAS Hard Drive?

    When you're sourcing a replacement drive for an active server or storage enclosure, the difference between a genuine part and an unverified clone shows up the first time you need to rebuild a RAID set.
