Specifications

About the 872477-B21

872477-B21 is HPE's 600GB 10,000 RPM 2.5-inch SAS 12Gb/s mission-critical mechanical hard drive in an HPE Smart Carrier (SC). Based on enterprise-grade Seagate Enterprise Performance 10K platforms, it is optimized for high-IOPS operating system boot mirrors, hypervisor installations, and cost-sensitive transactional database logging in legacy ProLiant infrastructure. Equipped with HPE digitally signed firmware, it secures the storage subsystem against firmware-level tampering and unauthorized modifications.

Compatibility

This drive is compatible with small form factor (SFF) drive bays in ProLiant Gen8, Gen9, Gen10, and Gen10 Plus servers, as well as HPE MSA 1060 and 2060 SAN storage arrays. It connects to 12Gb/s or 6Gb/s SAS host bus adapters and HPE Smart Array RAID controllers. It is fitted with the HPE Smart Carrier (SC), which features an integrated microprocessor and circular status LEDs. It cannot be installed into Gen11 or Gen12 servers, which require Basic Carrier (BC) enclosures. The option number is 872477-B21, with spares 872477-001 and 873010-001.

How to identify a genuine unit

A genuine 872477-B21 has a front HPE label listing the option part number, spare part number, and HPE firmware version, mounted on top of Seagate's factory label showing model ST600MM0099. In iLO and HPE Smart Storage Administrator, genuine units are identified with authentic HPE model numbers and support drive locate and health ring LED illumination. Non-genuine drives pulled from generic servers lack HPE firmware, report as third-party storage devices, and can cause server fans to run continuously at full speed.

Buying used

When acquiring used 600GB 10K hard drives, ask the vendor for SMART diagnostics confirming zero reallocated sectors, zero read/write errors, and acceptable power-on hours. Because these drives were standard components in corporate datacenters, many have accrued significant operating hours. Ensure the carrier's mechanical release button and handle are undamaged and that the drive comes pre-mounted in the Smart Carrier with working light pipes.
