HPE 870795-001 900GB 12G 15K 2.5 Server Hard Drive

HPE 870795-001 900GB 12G SAS 15K 2.5in Spare Drive

HPE 870795-001 is the spare part number for HPE’s 900GB SAS 12G Enterprise 15K SFF SmartCarrier drive with digitally signed firmware. HPE support uses this number for replacement drives, and you will find it on the label of the drive carrier.

If a ProLiant has flagged a failed disk and the label reads 870795-001, this is the part to order. It is aimed at administrators, field engineers and maintenance companies who need a direct swap that keeps an existing 15K array intact.

We list the 870795-001 at Euroland IT Store as New and as Refurbished, with supply subject to current stock.

HPE 870795-001 Technical Specifications

What Is The HPE 870795-001?

Every HPE option kit has a matching spare number. For the 900GB 15K SFF SmartCarrier drive, the option is 870759-B21 and the spare is 870795-001. Both describe the same drive. The spare number simply reflects how the part moves through HPE’s service network.

It is worth ordering by this exact number because HPE also makes a 900GB 15K SFF spare with 512e sectors, 870798-001. There is also a 3.5in version for LFF bays. Matching 870795-001 means you get the same sector format and carrier as the drive you are replacing.

Understanding The SmartCarrier Status Lights

HPE introduced the SmartCarrier with Gen8 servers. The front of each carrier has a set of LEDs driven by the Smart Array controller:

• A spinning ring shows activity, and during a rebuild it tells you the drive is busy.
• Amber means the drive has failed or is predicted to fail.
• A “do not remove” light warns that taking the drive out would cause data loss.
• A locate light can be switched on from management tools so you pull the right disk.

These lights only work when the drive is in the correct SmartCarrier, which is another reason to buy the matching spare number.

New HPE 870795-001

New spares suit organisations that require unused parts in production, and anyone replacing a disk in a server holding critical data. The warranty for new stock is listed on the product page.

Refurbished HPE 870795-001

Refurbished spares are a practical way to restore redundancy on servers that are mid-life or older. They are a common choice for maintenance contracts. Read the condition grade and warranty on the product page before ordering.

Before You Order

• Confirm the label on the failed drive says 870795-001 or 870759-B21.
• Check that it is not the 512e spare, 870798-001.
• Make sure the bay is a 2.5in SmartCarrier slot.
• Note which logical drive the failed disk belongs to.
• Plan the swap for a time when the server is less busy.

Rebuilding The Array After The Swap

Once the new 870795-001 is in, the Smart Array controller starts rebuilding the missing data from the other disks. With 900GB drives a rebuild can take several hours, depending on the RAID level and how busy the server is. Keep an eye on progress in Smart Storage Administrator or iLO. Avoid pulling any other drive until the activity ring stops and the logical drive reports as healthy.
