HPE 804612-006 480GB 6G SATA 2.5″ SSD

The HPE 804612-006 is a 480GB 6G SATA 2.5-inch solid state drive supplied as an HPE spare part for ProLiant server configurations. Mounted in an HPE hot-plug Smart Carrier, this SFF SSD is the drive to order when a parts list, support case or field-replaceable-unit reference calls out 804612-006 specifically. It is an exact-match replacement that keeps arrays supported and rebuilds predictable.

As a 480GB SATA SSD in the read-intensive class, the HPE 804612-006 is well matched to boot and hypervisor volumes, web and application servers, read caching tiers and reporting workloads where read operations dominate. Against the 10K and 15K SAS hard drives it frequently replaces, it delivers far higher IOPS, lower latency and reduced power draw per bay, a straightforward upgrade path for ageing ProLiant estates that need responsiveness without an all-flash budget.

Part number families matter here: HPE issued several spare revisions across its 480GB SATA SSD range, and 804612-006 sits alongside option kits such as 832414-B21 and earlier Value Endurance drives like 717971-B21. If your records show a different number in this family, Euroland IT Store stocks the siblings too, so you can order against whichever reference your asset register or iLO log reports.

Euroland IT Store is a trusted UK supplier of new and refurbished enterprise hardware and genuine HPE parts, and holds the HP spare 804612-006 in both conditions. Refurbished drives are health-checked and tested before dispatch, offering significant savings for out-of-warranty servers, while new stock supports stricter procurement requirements. Fast UK dispatch and volume pricing for resellers and MSPs are available on request.

Benefits

Ordering the exact spare number eliminates replacement risk. The 804612-006 arrives in the correct carrier, is recognised by HPE controllers and management tools, and rebuilds into existing arrays without unsupported-drive warnings, saving engineers time and keeping change windows short. If your documentation cites a sibling reference, the HPE 832414-B21 480GB 6G SATA SSD option kit and the earlier HPE 717971-B21 480GB SATA VE SSD cover the same capacity family.

In performance terms, consolidating read-heavy workloads onto this 480GB SATA SSD improves application response times and frees SAS bays, while cutting the power and cooling overhead associated with multiple spinning drives. It is an efficient way to extend the useful life of established ProLiant servers, and it sits within our wider range of server SSD drives if you want to compare capacities and interfaces.

Commercially, Euroland IT Store gives you options: fully tested refurbished units at a substantial discount for cost-conscious maintenance, or new stock where policy demands it. Both routes come with fast UK dispatch, exact part-number assurance and pre-sales checks from engineers familiar with HPE drive families, plus volume pricing when you are provisioning spares kits or refreshing multiple servers at once.
