HPE 768788-002 600GB 10K RPM SAS 12G SC HDD

HPE 768788-002 600GB 10K SAS 12G SFF Enterprise Hard Drive

If the label on your failed drive reads 768788-002, you are looking at an HPE assembly number for a 600GB Enterprise SAS drive. It is a 2.5 inch small form factor disk that spins at 10,000 rpm and connects at 12Gb/s. Parts cross-references place it under HPE option kit 781516-B21 and spare part 781577-001, which are supplied in the SmartDrive Carrier (SC).

The 600GB 10K size is a middle ground. It gives twice the space of a 300GB boot drive while keeping Enterprise-class response times, so it is often used for application data, smaller virtual machine stores, SQL instances with moderate load and Exchange or file server roles in smaller offices.

The 768788-002 can be ordered from Euroland IT Store as New or Refurbished stock, subject to current availability.

HPE 768788-002 Technical Specifications

What Is The HPE 768788-002?

An HPE assembly number tells you which build of a drive you have. For 768788-002, the matching option kit is 781516-B21 and the matching spare is 781577-001. The same drive also appears under other assembly numbers, including 781514-001, 781581-001, 796365-002 and 869714-002, and under model numbers such as EG0600JEHMA and EG000600JWEBH.

Take care with the suffix. The 768788 base number is shared across capacities, with 768788-001 listed as 300GB and 768788-004 as 1.2TB. The -002 version is the 600GB drive, so match all of the digits before you order.

Balancing Capacity And Speed With 600GB 10K Drives

Why not just buy a bigger Midline drive? Because rotational speed has a direct effect on how quickly the drive can reach scattered data. At 10,000 rpm, average rotational latency is about 3 milliseconds, against roughly 4.2 milliseconds at 7,200 rpm. For workloads with lots of small random requests, that gap adds up across thousands of operations per second.

Enterprise drives are also designed for heavier, round-the-clock duty than Midline models. A RAID 10 set of 600GB 10K drives remains a common, cost-aware layout for busy application servers that do not yet justify SSDs.

New HPE 768788-002

New units suit projects that need untouched hardware, such as a fresh RAID 10 build or a strict replacement policy. Condition and warranty terms for New stock appear on the product page.

Refurbished HPE 768788-002

Refurbished units offer a cost-conscious way to replace one or two failed drives without changing the whole array. Please see the product page for the condition and warranty of Refurbished stock.

Confirming The Match

1. Read the whole label and check the number ends in -002.
2. Look for 781516-B21, 781577-001 or EG0600JEHMA nearby.
3. Confirm the drive is 600GB, 10K and SAS 12G.
4. Check whether your replacement needs to come with an SC carrier.
5. Make sure the rest of the array uses the same speed and size.

RAID 10 Rebuilds With 600GB Drives

In RAID 10, each drive has a mirror partner. When one fails, only that pair is exposed, and the rebuild copies data from the surviving partner. That makes rebuilds on 600GB 10K drives fairly quick compared with parity arrays. Even so, replace the failed drive promptly, as losing the partner before the rebuild ends would take the array offline.
