HPE 787677-003 MSA 900GB 12G 10K 2.5 HDD

HPE 787677-003 MSA 900GB 12G SAS 10K SFF Hard Drive

The HPE 787677-003 is a 900GB, 10,000 rpm, 2.5 inch SFF hard drive built for HPE MSA storage arrays. It uses a dual port 12Gb/s SAS interface and sits in an MSA drive carrier, so it slides straight into a free bay on a supported MSA SFF enclosure.

Storage administrators normally reach for this number when a disk in an MSA 1040 or MSA 2040 shelf has failed, or when a disk group needs another member of the same size and speed. Resellers list 787677-003 alongside the HPE option kit J9F47A and the spare part 787647-001, which together describe the MSA 900GB 12G SAS 10K SFF Enterprise drive.

You can order the 787677-003 from Euroland IT Store in New or Refurbished condition, subject to current stock.

HPE 787677-003 Technical Specifications

What Is The HPE 787677-003?

HPE uses several identifiers for one physical MSA drive. J9F47A is the option kit that appears on HPE quotes. 787647-001 is the spare part number used by service engineers. Drive model codes such as EG0900JEHMB are printed by the disk maker. The 787677-003 sits in that same family and is quoted by resellers as an HPE number for the 900GB 10K MSA drive, which is why it is often found on the label of drives pulled from MSA shelves.

The exact number matters because MSA drives are not generic disks. The array controller expects HPE MSA firmware and the MSA carrier. A ProLiant server drive of the same capacity uses a different carrier and is not supported in the array, even though the bare disk inside can look similar.

Why MSA Arrays Need MSA-Specific Drives

HPE states in its MSA documentation that MSA hard drives are for use with MSA storage systems only. The controllers check the drive firmware when a disk is inserted, and the carrier is shaped for the MSA enclosure rails and LED light pipes. Using a ProLiant SmartCarrier drive in an MSA bay is not a supported configuration.

Dual port SAS is also important here. Each MSA drive connects to both controllers in a dual controller enclosure, so if one controller or path fails, the other can still reach the disk. A single port drive would remove that protection.

New HPE 787677-003

A new 787677-003 suits buyers who want an unused drive for a production array, or who need to match a newly purchased disk group. Check the product page for the packaging and warranty that apply to the unit in stock before you order.

Refurbished HPE 787677-003

A refurbished 787677-003 is a practical way to keep an older MSA 1040 or MSA 2040 running at lower cost, especially once new stock becomes scarce. Refurbished condition and warranty terms are shown on the product page, so please read them there rather than assuming a standard term.

Compatibility

Reseller compatibility lists for this drive cover the following HPE MSA SFF systems:

• HPE MSA 1040 SFF storage
• HPE MSA 2040 SFF storage and SFF disk enclosures
• HPE MSA 2042 SFF storage

It is not intended for HPE ProLiant servers. If you run an MSA 1050 or MSA 2050, check the HPE compatibility information for your firmware level first. Always compare the label on your existing drive and your enclosure model before ordering.

How To Check This Is The Right Replacement

1. Read the label on the failed disk and note any of 787677-003, J9F47A, 787647-001 or an EG0900 model code.
2. Confirm your enclosure is an MSA SFF unit (24 bays of 2.5 inch drives), not an LFF shelf.
3. Check the array health screen in the MSA Storage Management Utility for the bay and disk group affected.
4. Make sure the replacement is at least as large as the disk it replaces.
5. Match speed and class: 10K Enterprise SAS with other 10K Enterprise members.

Rebuilding An MSA Disk Group After The Swap

MSA arrays let you hot swap a failed member without powering down. Once the new disk is seated, the controller either starts reconstruction automatically onto it or uses an assigned spare. Rebuild time depends on disk group size and array load, so plan swaps outside busy periods where possible and keep an eye on the event log until the disk group reports as fault tolerant again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which MSA arrays accept the HPE 787677-003?

Reseller listings place it in MSA 1040, MSA 2040 and MSA 2042 SFF enclosures; it is not designed for ProLiant server bays.

Is 787677-003 the same drive as J9F47A?

Resellers list 787677-003 together with option J9F47A and spare 787647-001 as numbers for the MSA 900GB 12G SAS 10K SFF drive, so check your label against any of these.

Should I buy New or Refurbished?

New suits production arrays where you want an unused disk, while Refurbished keeps older MSA systems running at lower cost; both are offered subject to stock.
