About the 870757-B21
The HPE 870757-B21 was one of the most widely deployed 15,000 RPM hard drives across enterprise ProLiant servers. Packing 600GB of storage into a high-speed 2.5-inch form factor, it spun at 15,000 RPM to minimize rotational latency and deliver accelerated random read and write throughput compared to standard 7.2K and 10K RPM drives. It was frequently deployed in multi-drive RAID 10 configurations for enterprise database servers, high-traffic messaging queues, and ERP transaction logs.
Compatibility
Compatible with HPE ProLiant Gen8, Gen9, and Gen10 servers utilizing 2.5-inch SmartCarrier backplanes (such as DL380 Gen9/Gen10, DL360 Gen9/Gen10, DL560 Gen10, and ML350 Gen10). It is incompatible with Gen10 Plus or Gen11 servers that employ Basic Carrier (BC) trays unless the drive is physically extracted and transferred into a BC bracket. An active SAS controller is required.
How to identify a genuine unit
Genuine drives carry an HPE label stating Option Part Number 870757-B21, Spare Part Number 870794-001, and Assembly Model EH000600JWHPN. The bare drive assembly is a Seagate Enterprise Performance 15K drive (model ST600MP0006). In HPE Smart Storage Administrator, genuine drives report signed HPE firmware with an HPDx revision code.
Buying used
When evaluating pre-owned 15K RPM drives, check that the drive reaches full rotational speed smoothly without excessive vibration or head clicking. Review the SMART attribute table for Reallocated Sectors, Raw Read Error Rate, and Reported Uncorrectable Errors. Ensure the SmartCarrier ejector lever springs open smoothly and the activity LED diffuser ring is fully functional.
