HPE EH000300JWHPEL 300GB 12G 15K SAS HDD

HPE EH000300JWHPEL 300GB 12G 15K SAS Hard Drive

This page covers the HPE EH000300JWHPEL, a 300GB hard drive with a 12Gb/s SAS interface and a spindle speed of 15,000 rpm. It belongs to the family of 2.5in Enterprise disks that HPE fits inside its 300GB 15K drives for ProLiant servers and other HPE systems.

On HPE labels and in parts records, the model code for this disk is usually printed as EH000300JWHPL. If that is what you see on your drive, you are in the right place. Buyers are typically replacing a failed disk in an existing 15K array and want to match the model that is already installed.

The drive is available from Euroland IT Store in New and Refurbished condition, subject to stock.

HPE EH000300JWHPEL Technical Specifications

What Is The HPE EH000300JWHPEL?

HPE model codes starting with “EH” are given to its 15K Enterprise SAS disks, and “000300” shows the 300GB capacity. The EH000300JWHPL disk is listed inside two different finished drives. One is the SmartCarrier option 870753-B21 with spare 870792-001. The other is the standard carrier option 872842-B21 with spare 873031-001.

So the model code alone does not tell you which tray you need. Before ordering, read the spare number on the carrier as well as the code on the disk. Together they confirm both the disk and the carrier. If the codes on your drive differ from those on this page, please ask our team to check before you buy.

Low Latency From A 15K Spindle

A disk spinning at 15,000 rpm completes a full turn in four milliseconds. On average the drive waits half a turn for the data it needs, so rotational delay is about two milliseconds. A 10K disk waits around three milliseconds and a 7.2K disk around four. Those small savings add up when an application makes thousands of small reads every second.

That is why 300GB 15K drives are often used for transaction logs, temporary database space and operating system volumes, where response time matters more than raw capacity.

New HPE EH000300JWHPEL

New units are recommended for production arrays and for anyone who prefers parts with no running hours. Warranty details are on the product page.

Refurbished HPE EH000300JWHPEL

Refurbished units offer a cheaper way to keep an established array healthy. They suit older servers and shelf spares. The product page explains the grade and warranty for refurbished EH000300JWHPEL stock.

Compatibility

• As part of 870753-B21 or 870792-001: HPE ProLiant Gen8, Gen9 and Gen10 servers with SFF SmartCarrier bays

Matching Checklist

• The disk label shows EH000300JWHPL or EH000300JWHPEL.
• The carrier label shows 870792-001, 870753-B21, 873031-001 or 872842-B21.
• You know whether the bay takes a SmartCarrier or a standard carrier.
• The other array members are 300GB 15K SAS disks.
• You have checked the array status before removing anything.

Upgrading Capacity Later

If a 300GB array is running out of space, adding more 300GB disks is the quickest fix where free bays exist. Most Smart Array controllers can expand a logical drive onto new disks online. If there are no free bays, the usual path is to replace every disk with a larger one, one at a time, letting each rebuild finish, and then extend the logical drive. Plan that work carefully and take a full backup first.
