HPE 846522-003 3TB SATA 6G LFF 3.5 HDD

HPE 846522-003 3TB SATA 6G 7.2K LFF 3.5in Hard Drive

HPE 846522-003 is a component-level part number for a 3TB hard drive with a 6Gb/s SATA interface and a 7,200 RPM spindle. PartSurfer lists it as HDD, 3TB 6G SATA 7.2K, followed by a supplier code. An authorised HPE parts distributor names it as the assembly part for spare 862131-001 and option 861688-B21, the 3TB SATA Midline LFF drive.

The number is usually read off the drive body during a repair or an audit. It helps repair centres, asset teams and resellers identify a 3TB HPE disk precisely, even when the carrier label is missing.

At Euroland IT Store you can order the 846522-003 in New and Refurbished condition, subject to current stock.

HPE 846522-003 Technical Specifications

What Is The HPE 846522-003?

HPE gives each drive it sources from a manufacturer a number of its own. Codes in the 846522 series cover SATA drives of several sizes; the -003 suffix is the 3TB version. PartSurfer does not provide a where-used list for 846522-003, so the link to the finished product comes from distributor records.

Those records tie it to spare 862131-001, which is the low profile 3TB drive used in ProLiant ML350 Gen10 towers. Other suppliers list a different assembly number for the same spare, which is normal where HPE uses drives from more than one maker.

Drives Above 2.2TB: What To Know

A 3TB disk crosses the 2.2TB limit of the old MBR partition scheme. To use all of the space, partition the disk with GPT. If you plan to boot from it, set the server to UEFI boot mode. Older operating systems and some legacy recovery tools may not handle GPT disks, so check before you rely on one.

Inside a Smart Array logical drive this matters less, as the controller presents the volume to the operating system. The same GPT rule then applies to the logical drive if it exceeds 2.2TB.

New HPE 846522-003

New stock suits buyers who need an unused 3TB disk, for instance to start a new array or comply with procurement rules. The listing gives the condition and warranty.

Refurbished HPE 846522-003

Refurbished stock is a practical option for straight replacements in older servers and for building a small pool of spares. It keeps maintenance budgets in check. Please read the condition and warranty notes on the product page.

Compatibility

Through its link to spare 862131-001, this drive relates to:

• HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen10 LFF builds
• HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen10 non-hot-plug builds

As a bare drive number, 846522-003 does not fix the carrier type. Check your server model and bay style, and compare all numbers on your current drive, before ordering.

Identification Checklist

1. Read 846522-003 on the drive label and note any spare number on the carrier.
2. Decide whether you need a low profile or hot-plug carrier.
3. Confirm your controller accepts SATA drives.
4. Check that 3TB matches the rest of the array.
5. Ask us if the numbers do not match what you expected.

Repair Rather Than Replace

When one 3TB disk fails in an otherwise healthy server, a single replacement drive is by far the cheapest fix. It avoids migrating data, reinstalling software or re-licensing. Fit the new disk, let the array rebuild, and the server carries on as before.
