The HPE 862131-001 (Option Part: 861688-B21 / SmartBuy: 861688-S21 / Assembly: 846522-003 / Model: MB3000GVYZH) is a genuine 3TB SATA Midline hard drive built for enterprise storage environments where cost-per-gigabyte and dependable performance are essential. Based on a 3.5-inch enterprise-class platform, it spins at 7,200 RPM with a 64MB DDR3 cache buffer and an 8.5ms average seek time, delivering high throughput for server workloads, backup operations, and archival storage tiers. The 6Gb/s SATA interface provides a stable, high-throughput connection with a data transfer rate of 600 MB/s, which is exactly what ProLiant Gen9 through Gen12 servers are built around.
What sets this drive apart is its 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 512n sector format, 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. The drive comes with an HP Low Profile Carrier (LPc) pre-attached (as pictured), featuring a hot-plug tray and genuine HP serial number, making it ready for installation in compatible ProLiant systems.
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.
This HPE 862131-001 3TB SATA 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 SATA interfaces with LPc drive bays. It is compatible with a broad range of HPE ProLiant and Apollo systems.

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

This means it carries the firmware and mechanical tolerances your server's controller already expects — no compatibility guesswork, no risk of a failed rebuild because of a mismatched drive.
