HPE 761496-001 6TB 6G SATA 7.2K 3.5″ HDD

HPE 761496-001 6TB 6G SATA 7.2K LFF Hard Drive

Replacing a failed hard drive in an existing server requires more than matching the storage capacity. The correct interface, form factor and drive carrier are equally important. The HPE 761496-001 is a 6TB SATA midline hard drive spare designed for supported HPE ProLiant servers with 3.5-inch large form factor (LFF) Smart Carrier drive bays.

With a 6Gb/s SATA interface and 7,200 RPM spindle speed, this drive provides capacity-focused storage for business files, backup data and other workloads supported by the server configuration.

Product Specifications

Replacing an Existing 6TB SATA Server Drive

The HPE 761496-001 is useful for businesses that need to replace a matching drive without changing their existing server storage setup.

Its 6TB capacity provides space for file repositories, archived records and backup storage. The 7.2K RPM design is intended for capacity-oriented workloads rather than applications requiring high random I/O performance.

When replacing a failed drive in a RAID array, check the existing drive specifications and follow the server manufacturer’s replacement procedure. The storage controller must recognise the new drive before any rebuild can proceed.

Compatibility and Smart Carrier Requirements

HPE 761496-001 is associated with the Smart Carrier version of the 6TB SATA drive. The related option number is 753874-B21, while 753873-001 identifies the associated drive assembly.

Before ordering, confirm the following:

• Your server supports 3.5-inch LFF SATA drives.
• The drive bay accepts the HPE Smart Carrier.
• The storage controller and backplane support the drive.
• The server firmware meets the required compatibility specifications.
• The replacement is suitable for the existing RAID configuration.

Important: The same underlying drive assembly may be associated with different carrier configurations. Always check the existing spare number and physical carrier before purchasing.

New and Refurbished HPE 761496-001

New Hard Drive

A New or unused HPE 761496-001 may be suitable for planned maintenance or keeping a replacement available for an older ProLiant server. Confirm the condition, carrier and warranty when purchasing legacy inventory.

Before purchasing refurbished stock, ask about drive health, read/write testing, operating hours and warranty coverage. Confirm that the supplied unit includes the correct Smart Carrier.
