From HPE
HPE 868233-001 1.2TB 10K-RPM SAS 12Gb/s SFF Hard Drive
The HPE 868233-001 (Option Part: P9M81A / Assembly: 868152-001 / Models: ST1200MM0039, ST1200MM0069, ST1200MM0108) is a genuine 1.2TB SAS Enterprise Self-Encrypting hard drive built specifically for HPE MSA storage environments where performance, security, and data integrity are absolutely critical. Spinning at 10,000 RPM with an external data transfer rate of 1.2 GBps, it's engineered to deliver high IOPS and low latency for transaction processing, database workloads, and virtualized environments. The 12Gb/s SAS interface with dual-port connectivity provides a stable, high-throughput connection, which is exactly what HPE MSA storage arrays are built around.
What sets this drive apart is its Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) technology, providing hardware-based data-at-rest encryption that ensures your sensitive data remains protected even if a drive is removed from the array — critical for organizations with strict compliance and data security requirements. As an Enterprise (ENT) class drive with 512n native sector format, it offers the highest level of reliability for 24/7 data center operations. The drive comes with an MSA hot-plug tray pre-attached, featuring a genuine HPE serial number and MSA firmware, making it ready for hot-swap installation in compatible MSA storage systems.
Because this is a genuine HPE component rather than a generic or rebadged drive, it carries original HPE MSA firmware and a genuine HPE security sticker. That matters when you're replacing a drive in a live MSA storage array — mismatched or unverified parts can cause array dropouts or degraded performance.
