HPE 846610-001 6TB SAS 12G 7.2K 3.5″ HDD

HPE 846610-001 6TB 12G SAS 7.2K 3.5in Midline Spare Drive

HPE 846610-001 is the spare part number HPE support uses for its 6TB Midline SAS hard drive. The drive is a 3.5in LFF unit in a SmartCarrier tray, running at 7,200 RPM over a 12Gb/s SAS link. HPE notes it is for use with Gen8 or Gen9 servers or newer.

If a disk has failed in a DL380 Gen10 or a DL180 Gen10 and the label shows this number, this is the part you want. Maintenance providers, resellers and in-house support teams order it to restore arrays without changing anything else in the server.

Stock at Euroland IT Store covers New and Refurbished condition, subject to current stock.

HPE 846610-001 Technical Specifications

What Is The HPE 846610-001?

Spare numbers ending in -001 refer to the exact field-replaceable part HPE stocks for repairs. PartSurfer lists 846610-001 as the drive behind the 846514-B21 option and describes it as a 6TB SAS midline disk with a smart carrier. The same database shows it used in more than forty HPE products, from DL360 Gen10 4LFF units to Apollo 4510 storage servers.

Matching the spare number is the simplest way to ensure the carrier, firmware family and interface line up with what HPE fitted at the factory. That keeps the array consistent and avoids surprises during a rebuild.

Large Drives And Rebuild Time

A 6TB disk holds a lot of data, and that affects how you protect it. When a member of a RAID 5 set fails, the controller must read every other disk end to end to rebuild the new one. On high-capacity Midline drives that can run for many hours, and a second failure during that window means data loss.

For this reason, many administrators put large LFF drives in RAID 6 or RAID 60, which survive two failures. If your array still uses RAID 5, replace a failed 846610-001 promptly and consider moving to a dual-parity layout when you next expand.

Gen10 Server Deployment

In PartSurfer, the bulk of the products using this spare are Gen10 rack servers: DL360, DL380, DL160 and DL180 in LFF and mixed configurations. These machines use 12G SAS Smart Array controllers, so the drive runs at its full interface speed. Older Gen8 and Gen9 servers with SmartCarrier bays are also covered by HPE’s description.

New HPE 846610-001

Choose New for sites that require unused replacement parts or when you are adding fresh capacity to a production server. Confirm the stated condition and warranty on the listing.

Refurbished HPE 846610-001

Refurbished spares are popular for older estates and for keeping spare stock on the shelf at lower cost. They let you restore redundancy without paying new prices. Review the product page for the condition and warranty that apply.
