HPE MB3000GVYZH 3TB SATA 6G LFF 3.5 HDD

HPE MB3000GVYZH 3TB SATA 6G 7.2K LFF 3.5in Hard Drive

HPE MB3000GVYZH is the model code printed on a 3TB 3.5in SATA hard drive qualified by HPE. It runs at 6Gb/s and 7,200 RPM and belongs to HPE’s Midline range. Parts suppliers list it under option 861688-B21 with spare 862131-001, the low profile version, and also under 861693-B21, the hot-plug SmartCarrier version.

Because the same model code appears in two carrier styles, this drive interests anyone who has read the code off a failed disk and needs to find the right replacement. It is common in ProLiant towers and rack servers that use LFF SATA storage for files, backups and archives.

Euroland IT Store lists the MB3000GVYZH in New and Refurbished condition, subject to current stock.

HPE MB3000GVYZH Technical Specifications

What Is The HPE MB3000GVYZH?

An HPE model code describes the drive inside the carrier rather than the complete kit. Two distributors record MB3000GVYZH as the model behind spare 862131-001 and option 861688-B21. One of them also lists it under 861693-B21, which HPE PartSurfer describes as an HPE 3TB SATA 6G Midline 7.2K LFF SC drive with spare 862129-001.

So the model code alone does not tell you which carrier you need. The spare number on the carrier, or a look at your drive bays, settles it.

LP Or SC: Choosing The Right Carrier

If your server has front hot-plug trays with LEDs and a release lever, you need the SmartCarrier version. In HPE terms that is 861693-B21, spare 862129-001. If your drives sit inside the chassis on rails, with no front tray, you need the low profile version: 861688-B21, spare 862131-001.

A bare drive can sometimes be moved between carriers, but HPE does not sell it that way and the result may not seat or report status correctly. Buying the right complete drive is simpler and safer.

New HPE MB3000GVYZH

Go for New when you need a fresh 3TB disk for a production server, or when your organisation only accepts unused parts. The product page lists the condition and warranty.

Refurbished HPE MB3000GVYZH

Refurbished drives are a good fit for repairing an older server or building a spares kit. They match drives of the same age and keep repair costs low. The grade and warranty are on the product page.

Compatible Systems

• HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen10, in the low profile form (PartSurfer record for 862131-001)
• HPE ProLiant ML110 Gen10, as listed by a parts specialist
• Servers with 3.5in SmartCarrier bays, when supplied as the 861693-B21 version

Check your server model and bay type, and read the spare number on the current carrier, before you order.

Matching Checklist

• Read MB3000GVYZH on the drive body to confirm the model.
• Find the spare number on the carrier: 862131-001 or 862129-001.
• Look at the bay: front hot-plug tray or internal low profile slot.
• Confirm the controller is running SATA drives.
• Tell us both numbers if you are unsure.

Mixing Drive Models In One Array

HPE often ships different model codes under one spare number, so arrays sometimes contain a mix. That is fine as long as capacity, interface and speed match. Smart Array controllers treat qualified HPE drives of the same spare family alike. Keeping firmware current across all members is good practice and helps avoid odd behaviour during rebuilds.
