HPE 880152-001 300GB 2.5in SAS Hard Drive

HPE 880152-001 300GB 15K 12G SAS SFF Drive

HPE 880152-001 is a 300GB Enterprise hard drive in the 2.5in small form factor. It runs at 15,000 rpm and uses a 12Gb/s SAS link. Trade listings describe it in an HPE SmartCarrier with digitally signed firmware and 512n sectors, for HPE ProLiant Gen8 to Gen10 servers.

The drive is usually bought by people who already see 880152-001 on a disk in their server. A small, fast disk like this is common in boot mirrors and in arrays that host latency-sensitive applications.

At Euroland IT Store the 880152-001 is listed in New and Refurbished condition, depending on stock on hand.

HPE 880152-001 Technical Specifications

What Is The HPE 880152-001?

Numbers ending in -001 belong to HPE’s service parts system rather than to the retail option range. Sellers use 880152-001 for a 300GB 15K 12G SAS SFF drive. It sits in the same class as the 870753-B21 option and its 870792-001 spare, but we have not seen an HPE document that lists them as direct equivalents, so we treat 880152-001 as its own number.

For that reason the safest approach is to match 880152-001 like for like. If your old drive shows this number, ordering the same number gives you the same disk and carrier. If it shows a different number, ask us to check before you buy.

What 512n Means For This Drive

512n stands for 512 native. The drive stores data in physical sectors of 512 bytes and reports the same size to the controller. Older operating systems, hypervisors and RAID controllers all handle 512n without any special settings.

Some newer HPE drives use 512e, where the disk has larger 4K physical sectors but presents 512-byte sectors to the host. If your array is built from 512n drives, staying with 512n keeps the set consistent and avoids alignment questions.

New HPE 880152-001

A new 880152-001 is the natural pick for business-critical servers or for anyone who wants to start an array with fresh disks. The product page shows the warranty for new units.

Refurbished HPE 880152-001

A refurbished 880152-001 keeps an older ProLiant working without the cost of a new part. This is often the best value for a single failed disk in a server that will be replaced in a year or two. Condition and warranty are listed on the product page.

Compatibility With HPE Servers

• HPE ProLiant Gen8 servers with SFF SmartCarrier drive bays
• HPE ProLiant Gen9 servers with SFF SmartCarrier drive bays
• HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers with SFF SmartCarrier drive bays

Before ordering, compare the label on your current drive with this part number, confirm the server model, and check which Smart Array controller is fitted.

Other Numbers You May See

The 300GB 15K SmartCarrier option in HPE’s range is 870753-B21, available here as HPE 870753-B21 (refurbished), with spare HPE 870792-001 (refurbished). One of the bare drive models used in that family is HPE EH000300JWKTN.

For earlier 12G servers there is the HPE 759546-001 300GB 12G SAS 15K 2.5in drive, and for 6G systems the HPE 627117-B21 300GB 6G SAS 15K 2.5in drive. The wider range sits in our server and storage spare parts section.

How To Confirm The Match

1. Remove the failed disk and read the number on the carrier label.
2. Check that it reads 880152-001 or ask us about the number you see.
3. Confirm the bay is SFF and uses SmartCarrier drives.
4. Check the existing array is built from 300GB or smaller disks.
5. Make sure the remaining disks in the array are healthy.

Planning The Rebuild

A 300GB drive rebuilds faster than larger disks, which keeps the risky degraded period short. Even so, plan the swap for a quieter time of day if you can. Use HPE Smart Storage Administrator or the controller’s own tools to watch progress. Once the logical drive shows as OK again, the array has its full protection back.

FAQs: HPE 880152-001

Can I fit the 880152-001 in a Gen10 ProLiant?

Listings describe it as a SmartCarrier drive for Gen8 to Gen10 ProLiant SFF bays, so it suits Gen10 servers with SFF SmartCarrier slots.

When does a Refurbished 880152-001 make more sense than New?

Refurbished is usually the better value for replacing one disk in an older server, while New suits critical systems and new builds.

What warranty do I get with the 880152-001?

That depends on the condition you choose, and the terms are shown on the product page.

Do you ship the 880152-001 within the UK?

Is 880152-001 interchangeable with 870792-001?

Both are 300GB 15K 12G SAS SFF drives, but we have not seen HPE list them as equivalents, so we recommend matching the number on your existing drive or asking us to check.
