HPE 846509-001 6TB SAS 12G 7.2K 3.5″ HDD

HPE 846509-001 6TB 12G SAS 7.2K 3.5in Hard Drive

The HPE 846509-001 is an internal HPE part number for a 6TB hard drive with a 12Gb/s SAS interface and a 7,200 RPM spindle. HPE PartSurfer describes it simply as an HDD, 6TB 12G SAS 7.2K, with a supplier code at the end. Resellers group it with option 846514-B21 and spare 846610-001, the 6TB Midline LFF drive used in many ProLiant servers.

You are most likely to meet this number on the label of a drive taken out of a server, or on a parts list from a previous repair. Asset managers, repair shops and IT teams use it to trace exactly which 6TB disk was fitted.

At Euroland IT Store, the 846509-001 is listed in New and Refurbished condition, subject to current stock.

HPE 846509-001 Technical Specifications

What Is The HPE 846509-001?

HPE does not build its own hard drives. It sources them from several drive makers and gives each sourced version its own internal number. The 846509-001 code is one of those numbers. PartSurfer does not show where it is used, which is typical for component-level numbers like this one.

The number HPE quotes for service is the spare, 846610-001, and the number used for sales is the option, 846514-B21. Both refer to the complete drive in its SmartCarrier. Several resellers list 846509-001 alongside those two numbers, which is how it ties into the family.

Multi-Vendor Sourcing In HPE Drives

Because one HPE spare can be filled by drives from different factories, two disks with the same spare number may carry different component numbers and model codes. HPE qualifies each version and loads its own firmware, so they behave the same in a Smart Array controller.

For a buyer this has two effects. First, the spare or option number is the most reliable way to order. Second, a component number such as 846509-001 is still helpful when the carrier label is gone, because it pins down capacity, interface and speed without doubt.

Bare Drive Versus Complete Drive

A component number refers to the disk itself. When HPE supplies the spare, the disk comes fitted in a SmartCarrier. If you are replacing a drive in a hot-plug bay, make sure you receive the drive with the correct carrier, or move the carrier over from the failed unit. Ask us if you need the drive supplied in a tray.

New HPE 846509-001

New stock fits buyers who want an unused disk, for example to fill empty bays or start a new volume. Confirm the condition and warranty for New units on the product page.

Refurbished HPE 846509-001

Refurbished stock is a sound choice for a direct like-for-like replacement in a server that is already in service. It is also handy for keeping cold spares on site. Grading and cover for these used drives are set out on the listing.

Compatibility

As part of the 846610-001 family, this drive is used in servers such as:

• HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 with LFF bays
• HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 4LFF
• HPE ProLiant DL160 Gen10 and DL180 Gen10
• Gen8 and Gen9 ProLiant servers with LFF SmartCarrier bays

Since 846509-001 has no where-used list of its own, please confirm the server model, the controller and the labels on your existing drive before you order.

Checklist Before You Order

• Note every number on the old drive: component, model and spare.
• Decide whether you need the drive fitted in a SmartCarrier.
• Confirm the server uses SAS, not SATA only, connections.
• Match the capacity to the rest of the array.
• Tell us the server model so we can double-check.

Keeping A Cold Spare

For sites with several servers full of 6TB drives, holding one spare on the shelf can save hours of downtime. When a drive fails, you swap it straight away and order a new spare at leisure. Label the shelf spare with its part numbers and store it in an anti-static bag away from heat and moisture.
