HPE 875217-001 300GB 12G 15K 2.5in SAS HDD

HPE 875217-001 is an assembly number for a 300GB hard drive that spins at 15,000 rpm and connects at 12Gb/s SAS. The disk is 2.5in. HPE uses this assembly inside complete drives such as the 873031-001 spare (option 872842-B21), and it has also been seen inside drives labelled 870792-001.

Most people searching for 875217-001 have found the number on a drive label alongside other codes. It is useful when you want to confirm which bare disk sits inside a carrier, or when you are matching disks across several HPE servers.

Euroland IT Store lists the 875217-001 in New and Refurbished condition, with supply depending on stock.

HPE 875217-001 Technical Specifications

What Is The HPE 875217-001?

HPE uses assembly numbers to track the disk mechanism that goes into a finished drive. An assembly number sits between the drive model code (such as EH000300JWCPK or EH000300JWHPL) and the spare and option numbers printed for the complete product. A single assembly can be fitted into more than one carrier.

That is why the exact number matters, and also why it is not enough on its own. 875217-001 tells you the disk is a 300GB 15K 12G SAS unit. The spare number on the same label tells you which carrier and product it was built into. Always share both with us when you order.

Which Carrier Do You Need?

The drives that use this assembly come in two main carrier styles. Drives with spare 873031-001 use HPE’s standard (ST) carrier. Drives with spare 870792-001 use the SmartCarrier found on ProLiant Gen8, Gen9 and Gen10 servers. The disk inside may be the same, but the trays are not interchangeable.

Look at the front of your existing drive. A ring of lights and a release button point to a SmartCarrier. A plainer front points to a standard carrier. If you cannot tell, a photo of the drive and label is all we need to help.

New HPE 875217-001

New stock gives you a disk with no running hours. It is best suited to production systems and important data. The warranty for new stock is on the product page.

Refurbished HPE 875217-001

Refurbished stock offers a lower price for the same disk. It works well as a replacement in older servers or as a spare. The grade and cover for refurbished 875217-001 units appear on its product page.

Compatibility

• In a standard carrier (873031-001): HPE systems with 2.5in standard carrier bays
• In a SmartCarrier (870792-001): HPE ProLiant Gen8, Gen9 and Gen10 servers with SFF SmartCarrier bays

Before ordering, check all the numbers on your current drive label, the server model and the controller, and confirm which carrier you need.

Checklist Before You Buy

1. Write down every number on the existing drive label.
2. Find the spare number: 873031-001, 870792-001 or another.
3. Decide whether you need a complete drive in a carrier or just the disk.
4. Confirm the array uses 300GB 15K SAS drives.
5. Send us the details if anything does not match.

Handling The Failed Drive

A failed disk may still hold readable data. Before it leaves your site, follow your organisation’s data handling policy. Many businesses keep failed drives for secure destruction rather than sending them on. Record the serial number and the bay it came from, so your asset register stays accurate after the replacement goes in.
