HPE 872293-002 4TB SATA 6G 7.2K 3.5 HDD

HPE 872293-002 4TB 6G SATA 7.2K 3.5in Hard Drive

HPE 872293-002 is an internal HPE number for a 4TB SATA hard drive running at 6Gb/s and 7,200 RPM. PartSurfer describes it as DRV, HD 4TB 6G SATA 7.2K, and the supplier code at the end of that description is HGST. Two parts specialists tie it to HPE option 872491-B21 and spare 872772-001, the 4TB SATA LFF SmartCarrier drive with digitally signed firmware.

This number is normally found on the body of a drive pulled from a ProLiant server. Repairers, asset managers and IT teams use it to confirm exactly which 4TB disk was fitted and to order a matching one.

Order the 872293-002 from Euroland IT Store in New or Refurbished condition, subject to current stock.

HPE 872293-002 Technical Specifications

What Is The HPE 872293-002?

HPE assigns its own numbers to each drive it buys in from a manufacturer. The 872293-002 code identifies an HGST-sourced 4TB SATA drive. On one parts site it is listed as a 4TB SATA 7.2K LFF DS SPL drive, pointing to spare 872772-001; another lists it as an alternate number for option 872491-B21.

HPE’s own where-used list for spare 872772-001 includes an item named HPE 4TB SATA 7.2K LFF SC DS Spl HDD. So the component number fits neatly inside that spare family. When you order, the spare or option number is still the best reference.

From Midline To Business Critical

HPE has renamed its 7,200 RPM drive class over the years. Older documents call these drives Midline, while newer ones use Business Critical and note that the option is multi-vendor. The drive is the same class either way: high capacity, moderate duty, aimed at bulk storage rather than heavy transactional work.

Multi-vendor means HPE may ship a drive from any qualified maker under one option. That is why you may find an HGST-made 872293-002 in one server and a different maker’s drive in the next, both with the same spare label.

New HPE 872293-002

Go for a New unit if you want an unused drive for a new volume or need to meet a policy on new parts. The product page states the condition and warranty.

Refurbished HPE 872293-002

A Refurbished unit is often the best fit for a like-for-like swap in an existing server. It costs less and matches the original drive. See the product page for the condition and warranty that apply.

Identifying Your Drive

• Find 872293-002 on the drive body and any spare number on the carrier.
• Work out if you also need a SmartCarrier tray with the disk.
• Check the array is SATA, not SAS.
• Confirm 4TB matches the other members.
• Pass all the numbers to us if anything is unclear.

Moving A Carrier Between Drives

If you buy a bare drive, you can usually move the SmartCarrier from the failed unit onto the replacement. Remove the side screws, transfer the disk, and refit them without overtightening. Handle the drive by its edges, ground yourself first, and keep the carrier’s light pipe in place so status LEDs still show at the front.
