HPE 868230-001 10TB 12G 7.2K Server Hard Drive

HPE 868230-001 MSA 10TB 12G SAS 7.2K LFF Midline Hard Drive

HPE 868230-001 is the spare part number for the MSA 10TB 12G SAS 7.2K LFF Midline 512e drive, sold new as option kit P9M82A. It is a 3.5 inch, 7,200 rpm, dual port SAS disk that ships in the MSA LFF carrier for HPE Modular Smart Array enclosures.

It suits customers who keep backups, archives, video or file shares on an MSA and need bulk capacity at a low cost per terabyte. Typical buyers are replacing a failed Midline disk, or adding members to an LFF disk group on an MSA 2050 or an MSA 2040 shelf.

The 868230-001 is available from Euroland IT Store as a New or Refurbished part, subject to current stock.

HPE 868230-001 Technical Specifications

What Is The HPE 868230-001?

The HPE MSA 2050 QuickSpecs list P9M82A as the MSA 10TB 12G SAS 7.2K rpm LFF Midline 512e drive. 868230-001 is the spare part that HPE service uses for that option. Resellers also list 868151-002 as the assembly number and drive models such as HUH721010AL5204, ST10000NM002G and ST10000NM0528 inside the same HPE part.

Why does the spare number help? It is printed on the drive label and is what HPE support quotes when a disk fails, so matching it removes guesswork. It also separates this MSA drive from the ProLiant 10TB drives, which use SmartCarrier or low profile trays and different HPE numbers.

Midline Duty: Where A 10TB MSA Drive Fits

HPE classes 7.2K drives as Midline. They give high capacity and good sequential throughput, but HPE notes in the MSA QuickSpecs that Midline drives should not be used in a heavy or intense I/O environment. In practice that means they are a sound choice for backup targets, archive tiers and large file shares, while busy databases are better placed on 10K or 15K Enterprise drives or SSDs.

The MSA lets you mix SSD, Enterprise SAS and Midline SAS drives in the same enclosure, so many sites keep a small fast tier and a large Midline tier side by side. Plan each disk group with drives of one type.

Gen5 Versus Gen6 MSA

This drive belongs to the MSA generation that includes the MSA 1050, 2050 and 2052. HPE QuickSpecs for the newer MSA 2060 state plainly that prior-generation MSA hard drives are not compatible with MSA Gen6 systems, so do not order the 868230-001 for an MSA 1060, 2060 or 2062.

New HPE 868230-001

New stock is the natural choice for a fresh disk group, or for a business that wants every drive in an archive tier to start life at the same point. Check the product page for warranty details on new units.

Refurbished HPE 868230-001

Refurbished stock offers a cost-effective spare for MSA 2040 or 2050 systems already in service, and it is handy to keep one on the shelf for quick swaps. The condition and warranty that apply are shown on the product page.
