HPE P30563-001 1.2TB SAS 12G Hard Drive

HPE P30563-001 1.2TB SAS 12G 10K SFF Basic Carrier Spare Drive

HPE P30563-001 is the spare part number for a 1.2TB, 10,000 rpm SAS hard drive used in HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus and Gen11 servers. The drive has a 12Gb/s SAS interface, native 512n sectors and a 2.5 inch small form factor body, and it comes fitted in the HPE Basic Carrier (BC). Its option kit equivalent is P28586-B21.

When an HPE engineer replaces a 1.2TB 10K disk in one of these newer servers, P30563-001 is typically the number on the replacement. Many in-house IT teams and maintenance providers search for it directly from the label of a failed drive. The drive is suited to OS and application volumes, databases and general-purpose RAID arrays that need Enterprise-level response times.

Order the P30563-001 from Euroland IT Store in New or Refurbished condition, subject to current stock.

HPE P30563-001 Technical Specifications

What Is The HPE P30563-001?

This is the service version of the HPE “1.2TB SAS 12G Mission Critical 10K SFF BC Multi Vendor” drive. An HPE parts distributor in Australia lists P30563-001 with P28586-B21 as its option equivalent, and a second parts database confirms the pairing and adds assembly number P28588-001. Drive models reported for it are EG001200JWJNK, EG001200JWJNQ and EG001200JXLWA.

The spare number is the safest way to order. Older 1.2TB 10K HPE drives, such as the SmartDrive Carrier spare 781578-001, have the same capacity and speed but a different carrier. They fit Gen8 to Gen10 bays, not the Basic Carrier bays of Gen10 Plus and Gen11.

Gen10 Plus And Gen11 Drive Bays

From ProLiant Gen10 Plus onwards, HPE moved most servers to the Basic Carrier. The change means drives from earlier generations do not fit the newer bays as they are. If you are migrating from a Gen10 server to Gen11, plan to buy BC drives such as this one rather than reusing the old SC drives.

Drive health still feeds into HPE iLO and the storage controller, so failing disks can be identified and located remotely.

New HPE P30563-001

New units are ideal for keeping sealed spares for critical Gen11 hosts or for completing a new deployment. Condition and warranty details for New stock are given on the product page.

Refurbished HPE P30563-001

A Refurbished P30563-001 offers good value when one drive in an array has failed and the server is otherwise healthy. The product page sets out the condition and warranty for Refurbished stock.

Replacement Checklist

1. Identify the server generation: Gen10 Plus or Gen11 points to a BC drive.
2. Check the old drive label for P30563-001 or P28586-B21.
3. Confirm the failed drive is 1.2TB 10K SAS 512n.
4. Check the other drives in the logical drive are the same type.
5. Make sure you have a recent backup before swapping a drive in a degraded array.

Moving From Gen10 To Gen11

Server refreshes are a good time to review drive choices. Because Gen11 bays need Basic Carrier drives, you cannot simply carry SC drives across. Plan the new array around BC drives like P30563-001, copy data over the network or from backup, and keep the old Gen10 drives as spares for any Gen10 servers still in use.

P30563-001 FAQs

Does the HPE P30563-001 fit Gen10 Plus servers?

Yes, it is listed for HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus and Gen11 servers with SFF Basic Carrier bays, but you should check your exact model and drive cage.

Can I use P30563-001 to replace a 781578-001 drive?

Not as supplied, because 781578-001 is a SmartDrive Carrier drive for Gen8 to Gen10 bays while P30563-001 uses the Basic Carrier for Gen10 Plus and Gen11.

New units are unused and suit critical spares, while Refurbished units are lower-cost replacements for drives that have failed in working servers.
