HPE 768788-001 300GB 12G SAS 10K 2.5 Hard Drive

HPE 768788-001 300GB 12G SAS 10K SFF Enterprise Hard Drive

HPE 768788-001 is an assembly number found on a 300GB Enterprise SAS hard drive. The drive spins at 10,000 rpm, uses a 12Gb/s SAS interface and is built in the 2.5 inch small form factor. Parts databases link this assembly number to the HPE option kit 785067-B21 and the spare part 785410-001, which ship in the SmartDrive Carrier for ProLiant Gen8 to Gen10 servers.

Assembly numbers are printed on the drive label itself, so 768788-001 is often what an engineer reads when holding a failed disk. This page helps you match that number to the right replacement. The drive suits boot volumes, operating system mirrors, small databases and application servers where response time matters more than raw capacity.

Euroland IT Store stocks the 768788-001 in New and Refurbished condition, subject to current stock.

HPE 768788-001 Technical Specifications

What Is The HPE 768788-001?

HPE drives carry several layers of numbering. The assembly number, such as 768788-001, identifies a specific build of the drive. Cross-reference data places it under option kit 785067-B21 and spare 785410-001, alongside a second assembly number, 781581-005. Drive model numbers reported for this same part include EG0300JEHLV and EG000300JWEBF.

The suffix matters. HPE reuses the 768788 base number for other capacities, so 768788-002 is listed as a 600GB drive and 768788-004 as a 1.2TB drive. Reading the full number, including the last three digits, is the simplest way to avoid ordering the wrong capacity.

Why 10K Enterprise Drives Suit Boot And Application Volumes

A 10,000 rpm drive reaches data faster than a 7,200 rpm Midline drive because the platter passes under the head more often. HPE Enterprise drives are also rated for continuous, heavy duty cycles. That combination makes small 300GB 10K disks a long-standing choice for mirrored operating system volumes and for applications that make many small reads and writes.

Capacity is modest, so these drives are not meant for bulk storage. Many servers pair two 300GB 10K drives in RAID 1 for the OS with larger Midline drives or SSDs for data.

New HPE 768788-001

Buy New if you want an unused drive for a critical boot mirror or need a fresh spare for your maintenance stock. Condition and warranty information for New units is shown on the product page.

Refurbished HPE 768788-001

Refurbished drives are a cost-effective way to repair a degraded mirror or RAID set in a server that is otherwise working well. The product page explains the condition and warranty for Refurbished units.

How To Check This Is The Right Replacement

1. Read the full number on the drive label, including the -001 suffix.
2. Confirm the capacity is 300GB and the speed is 10K.
3. Check for 785067-B21, 785410-001 or 781581-005 on the label or paperwork.
4. Decide whether you need the drive with an SC carrier or as a bare drive.
5. Make sure your server uses 2.5 inch SFF bays.

Restoring A RAID 1 Boot Mirror

When one disk in an OS mirror fails, the server usually keeps running on the surviving drive. Replace the failed disk as soon as you can, because the system has no redundancy until the mirror is rebuilt. With a 300GB 10K drive, rebuilds are relatively quick. Check in HPE Smart Storage Administrator that the logical drive returns to an OK state before closing the job.
