HPE 861607-001 8TB SAS 12G 7.2K 3.5″ HDD

HPE 861607-001 8TB 12G SAS 7.2K 3.5in SC 512e Spare Hard Drive

HPE 861607-001 is the spare part number for HPE’s 8TB 12Gb/s SAS Midline drive. It is a 3.5in hot-plug disk in a SmartCarrier, spinning at 7,200 RPM, with 512e sector format and helium construction. HPE notes it is for Gen8 or Gen9 servers or newer.

If a ProLiant DL380 Gen10, DL385 Gen10 or StoreEasy 1660 shows a failed 8TB disk with this number on the carrier, this is the exact replacement. Service desks, managed service providers and resellers rely on the spare number to restore arrays without guesswork.

Supply of this spare comes from Euroland IT Store in New or Refurbished condition, subject to current stock.

HPE 861607-001 Technical Specifications

What Is The HPE 861607-001?

When HPE support replaces an 8TB SAS LFF Midline drive, 861607-001 is the part number on the work order. PartSurfer records it under the 861590-B21 option and shows it used in about fifty HPE products. Those include Gen10 DL-series rack servers, StoreEasy 1660 storage and a Cohesity DL360 Gen9 appliance.

The spare number is the most reliable way to order. It locks in the carrier, interface, sector format and firmware family HPE intended for the slot.

StoreEasy And Gen10 Storage Builds

HPE StoreEasy 1660 is a Windows-based file storage appliance built on ProLiant hardware. PartSurfer lists this spare in several StoreEasy 1660 models, from 16TB to 64TB raw. In those systems, drives are grouped into RAID volumes by a Smart Array controller and shared over SMB or NFS.

Replacing a failed disk in a StoreEasy works the same way as in a ProLiant server. Identify the failed bay from the amber LED or the management tool, wait until the carrier shows it is safe to remove, and then swap in the new 861607-001.

512e Drives In Mixed Arrays

Many controllers let you mix 512e and 512n drives of the same type, but best practice is to keep one format per logical drive. Mixing can cause the array to present the larger physical sector size, or create alignment issues for some software. If the rest of your array is already 512e 8TB disks, this spare will slot straight in.

New HPE 861607-001

New spares fit buyers who need unused parts for production storage or who are adding drives to a recently installed system. The condition and warranty appear on the listing.

Refurbished HPE 861607-001

Refurbished spares are widely used for break-fix on servers past their original support term. They restore redundancy at a fraction of the cost of new stock. Review the product page for the condition grade and warranty.
