HPE 875217-003 900GB SAS 15K SFF ST HDD

HPE 875217-003 900GB SAS 15K SFF Drive Assembly

HPE 875217-003 is an assembly number for a 900GB, 15,000 rpm disk with a 12Gb/s SAS interface. The disk is 2.5in, runs digitally signed firmware and uses 512n sectors. HPE records place this assembly inside the 870759-B21 SmartCarrier drive (spare 870795-001), and distributor records also list it under 873033-001, the spare for the 872846-B21 standard carrier (ST) drive.

The number usually turns up on a drive label next to the spare and model codes. People look it up to confirm which disk is fitted, or to match disks across several HPE servers that use 900GB 15K drives.

At Euroland IT Store the 875217-003 is sold in New and Refurbished grades, depending on current stock.

HPE 875217-003 Technical Specifications

What Is The HPE 875217-003?

HPE uses four kinds of number on a typical hard drive. The option kit number ends in -B21 and is used for sales. The spare number usually ends in -001 and is used for service. The assembly number, such as 875217-003, tracks the disk build. The model code, such as EH000900JWHPP or EH000900JWCPN, names the disk mechanism.

Because one assembly can be fitted into more than one carrier, the assembly number on its own does not settle which tray you need. Our listing title describes the standard carrier (ST) version. If your existing drive is a SmartCarrier unit, tell us, so we can make sure you receive the right complete drive.

SmartCarrier Or Standard Carrier?

A quick look at the front of your current drive answers this. SmartCarrier drives have a round button and a ring of status lights, and they are standard on ProLiant Gen8, Gen9 and Gen10 servers. Standard carrier drives have a plainer front. Spare 870795-001 means SmartCarrier. Spare 873033-001 means standard carrier.

Handling Drives Safely

Hard drives are sensitive to static and to knocks. Keep the replacement in its anti-static bag until you are ready to fit it. Hold it by the carrier, not the circuit board, and avoid setting it down hard on a desk. Take the same care with the failed drive if it is going back for return or to secure disposal.

Refurbished HPE 875217-003

When Only The Disk Is Needed

Some repairers already have a good carrier and only need the disk. Others need a complete drive ready to slide in. Tell us which you need when you order. If you are reusing a carrier, transfer the disk carefully, use the original screws and make sure the connector lines up with the carrier opening before fitting.
