HPE 873033-001 900GB SAS 15K SFF ST HDD

HPE 873033-001 900GB SAS 15K SFF ST Spare Drive

HPE 873033-001 is a spare part number for a 900GB, 15,000 rpm hard drive with dual-port 12Gb/s SAS. It is 2.5in, fitted in HPE’s standard (ST) carrier, and its firmware is digitally signed. The option kit that pairs with this spare is 872846-B21.

You will find this number on the label of drives that came through HPE’s service channel. If one of those drives has failed, 873033-001 is the like-for-like part to order. It is aimed at support engineers, data centre staff and maintenance providers.

The 873033-001 can be bought from Euroland IT Store New or Refurbished, depending on the stock we hold.

HPE 873033-001 Technical Specifications

What Is The HPE 873033-001?

873033-001 is the service identity of the 872846-B21 drive. Distributor records list two disk models inside it, EH000900JWCPN and EH000900JWHPP, along with the assembly numbers 867254-003 and 875217-003.

The exact spare number matters because those disks are also sold inside SmartCarrier drives, under spare 870795-001. From the outside, the two spares share capacity, speed and disk, yet the trays are different. Only 873033-001 gives you the standard carrier version.

Keeping Spare Numbers Consistent Across An Estate

Organisations with many HPE systems often find that drives of the same capacity carry different spare numbers in different racks. A simple spreadsheet listing each system, bay, spare number and carrier type saves a great deal of time. When a drive fails, you look up the bay, order the listed spare and avoid the risk of receiving a part with the wrong tray.

If you are building that list now, a photo of each drive label is a quick way to start. We are happy to help identify any numbers you are unsure about.

Like-For-Like Spare Or Upgrade?

Replacing a failed disk with the same spare is almost always the fastest route back to a healthy array. Moving to solid state drives can bring large speed gains, but it means building a new array, migrating data and checking that the controller and system support the new drives. For a single failure in an otherwise healthy system, the matching 873033-001 is the practical choice.

New HPE 873033-001

New spares suit critical systems and sites that require unused replacement parts. The warranty for new stock is set out on the product page.

Refurbished HPE 873033-001

Refurbished spares are a budget-friendly option for systems later in their life and for spare pools. Check the product page for the condition grade and warranty.

Compatibility Guidance

• Direct swap for drives labelled 873033-001 or 872846-B21
• Suitable for HPE systems whose 2.5in bays take the standard (ST) carrier
• Not for SmartCarrier bays, which need spare 870795-001 or option 870759-B21

Before ordering, confirm the label and carrier on the drive being replaced, the system model and the storage controller.

Pre-Order Checks

• The label on the failed drive reads 873033-001.
• The carrier has no SmartCarrier light ring on the front.
• The other disks in the array are 900GB 15K.
• You have recorded the failed bay and serial number.
• The system’s controller firmware is up to date.

After The New Drive Goes In

Once the 873033-001 is seated, the controller should detect it and start the rebuild automatically. If it does not, check the controller’s settings for automatic rebuild and the drive’s status in your management tool. A rebuild on a 900GB 15K disk takes time, so let it finish before carrying out any other maintenance on the array.
