HPE 872295-002 4TB SATA 6G 7.2K 3.5 HDD

HPE 872295-002 4TB SATA 6G 7.2K 3.5in LFF Hard Drive

The HPE 872295-002 is a 4TB SATA drive with a 6Gb/s link and a 7,200 RPM spindle, in the 3.5in large form factor. HPE PartSurfer gives its description as DRV, HD 4TB 6G SATA 7.2K, with the supplier code TSH. Parts specialists place it inside the 872491-B21 option family, whose service spare is 872772-001.

Older ProLiant servers are a common home for this drive as well as Gen10 systems. IT teams keeping Gen8 and Gen9 hardware running often meet the number when replacing a disk in a file or backup server.

The 872295-002 is offered by Euroland IT Store in New and Refurbished condition, subject to current stock.

HPE 872295-002 Technical Specifications

What Is The HPE 872295-002?

This code is how HPE tracks one particular sourced version of its 4TB SATA drive. One parts specialist lists it as a bare 4TB SATA 6G 7.2K LFF DS drive and links it to spare 872772-001. A second records it as an alternate number for option 872491-B21. PartSurfer does not provide a where-used list for 872295-002 itself.

When ordering a replacement, use the spare or option number if you have it. The component number is your fallback when the carrier label is missing, and it still confirms capacity, interface and speed.

Using Drives Over 2.2TB In Older Servers

A 4TB drive is larger than the 2.2TB limit some older systems were built around. One reseller listing for the 872491-B21 family notes that it supports Gen8 servers and later. The same listing says Smart Array P212, P410, P411, P711m and P812 controllers need firmware 5.0 or later to handle drives above 2.2TB.

If you are fitting this drive to an older controller, check its firmware first and update it if needed. Use GPT partitioning for any volume above 2.2TB. Boot volumes that large also call for UEFI support, which older servers may lack, so many teams keep the operating system on a smaller drive.

New HPE 872295-002

New stock is right for fresh arrays and for organisations that will only accept unused disks. Condition and warranty details are on the product page.

Refurbished HPE 872295-002

Refurbished stock offers an economical replacement for one failed disk in an established server. It also helps teams build a small pool of spares. Please check the listing for the condition grade and warranty.

Pre-Purchase Checklist

1. Read 872295-002 on the drive and the spare number on the carrier if present.
2. Check your Smart Array controller firmware supports drives over 2.2TB.
3. Confirm the bay type: 3.5in SmartCarrier or another style.
4. Make sure the volume is made of SATA disks.
5. Contact us with the server model if it is Gen8 or older.

Keeping Older Servers Productive

Gen8 and Gen9 ProLiant servers still do useful work in many offices, often as file or backup hosts. A failed 4TB disk is no reason to retire one. Swap in a matching drive, let the array rebuild, and plan the eventual hardware refresh around your budget rather than an emergency.
