The HPE 765455-S21 is a 2TB 2.5 inch hard drive built for HPE ProLiant servers that use small form factor SmartDrive bays. It spins at 7,200 rpm, connects over SATA at 6Gb/s and belongs to the HPE Midline class, which is aimed at bulk storage rather than heavy random workloads. Reseller listings show it in the HPE SmartDrive Carrier (SC) with 512e sector format and Digitally Signed firmware.
This drive suits IT teams who need a lot of capacity in a small bay at a sensible cost. Typical uses include file shares, backup targets, archive volumes, logs and general data that is read more often than it is rewritten. If you are replacing a failed 2TB SATA drive in a Gen9 or Gen10 server, this is one of the part numbers to check against your existing label.
Euroland IT Store lists the 765455-S21 in New and Refurbished condition, subject to current stock.

HPE sells the same 2TB SATA Midline SFF drive under several numbers. The option kit is 765455-B21, the spare part is 765869-001 and the drive model printed on the disk is MM2000GEFRA. Distributor catalogues list 765455-S21 as a variant of that 765455-B21 kit, sold under its own SKU with the same drive specification.
The exact number matters because HPE uses very similar codes for different drives. For example, 765466-B21 is also a 2TB SFF Midline drive, but it is SAS 12G, not SATA. Ordering by part number rather than by capacity alone avoids getting a drive that fits the bay but does not match the rest of your array.
Midline drives are designed for capacity first. They work well in servers that hold large volumes of data with moderate access, but they are not rated for the same constant heavy load as HPE Enterprise 10K or 15K drives. If your workload is a busy database or many virtual machines with lots of small random writes, a faster Enterprise SAS drive or an SSD is usually a better choice.
SATA at 6Gb/s is more than enough for a single 7,200 rpm spinning disk, because the drive itself cannot fill that link. The main differences from a SAS Midline drive are a single data port instead of two and a lower price per terabyte. SATA and SAS drives can share a server, but HPE advises keeping one type within the same logical drive.
512e drives store data in 4K physical sectors but present 512-byte logical sectors to the controller. Modern HPE Smart Array controllers and current Windows Server, Linux and VMware releases handle this without issue. Older operating systems or software that writes in unaligned 512-byte blocks may see lower write performance, so check your platform if it is more than a few years old.
A New unit suits buyers who want an unused drive for a fresh build, a project with a strict parts policy or a spare to keep on the shelf. Condition and warranty details for New stock are shown on the product page, so please check there before you order.
A Refurbished unit is a practical way to replace a failed disk in an existing server at a lower cost. It is a common choice for keeping older ProLiant estates running or for building a set of cold spares. The product page states the condition and warranty that apply to Refurbished stock.
Parts lists derived from HPE PartSurfer show this drive in SFF SmartDrive bays across these families:
Before ordering, check the label on your current drive, your exact server model and the storage controller in use. Most Gen10 Plus and Gen11 servers use the newer Basic Carrier, so an SC drive will not slot into those bays as supplied.
Many teams keep one spare drive per server model on site. When a drive fails, it can be swapped the same day and the controller starts rebuilding straight away. For a RAID 5 or RAID 6 volume built on large Midline disks, a rebuild can take many hours, so shortening the gap between failure and replacement lowers the risk of a second failure during that window.
