Technical Specifications

What Does 872738-001 Mean?

872738-001 is the HPE spare part number for this particular enterprise SAS drive configuration.

The specification breaks down as follows:

• 1.8TB – storage capacity
• 12G – 12Gb/s SAS interface
• 10K – 10,000 RPM rotational speed
• SFF – Small Form Factor, 2.5-inch
• 512e – 512-byte emulation sector format
• DS – Digitally Signed firmware
• SC – Smart Carrier

HPE lists 872738-001 as a spare part for multiple ProLiant server configurations.

SAS vs SATA:

This drive is a SAS hard drive, not a SATA HDD.

It is intended for compatible server storage controllers/backplanes that support SAS. A standard desktop motherboard’s SATA port should not be assumed to support this drive.

For server upgrades, confirm that your:

1. Server model supports the drive.
2. Drive cage/backplane supports 2.5-inch SFF drives.
3. Storage controller supports SAS.
4. RAID/HBA controller is compatible with the drive.
5. Carrier type is appropriate for your server generation.

Compatible HPE Server Platforms:

HPE documentation lists 872738-001 among the supported spare drives for several enterprise server families, including systems such as:

• HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10
• HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10
• HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen10
• HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen10
• HPE ProLiant DL160 Gen10
• HPE ProLiant DL180 Gen10
• HPE ProLiant BL460c Gen10
• HPE StoreEasy storage platforms
• Other compatible HPE systems

Compatibility varies by exact server configuration, drive cage, controller and backplane, so the server’s HPE QuickSpecs/service documentation should be checked before ordering.

Ideal For:

 Enterprise Servers

Suitable for compatible HPE ProLiant server storage configurations.

 Server Storage Expansion

Add storage capacity to compatible SAS-based server environments.

 HDD Replacement

Suitable as a replacement drive where the existing server configuration requires an HPE 1.8TB 10K SAS SFF drive.

 RAID Storage

Can be used in compatible HPE RAID configurations when supported by the server’s Smart Array controller and storage architecture.

 Business & Enterprise Infrastructure

Suitable for server workloads requiring enterprise SAS storage and 10K RPM performance.

Key Benefits:

1.8TB Storage Capacity

Provides substantial storage capacity for enterprise server environments.

10K RPM Performance

The 10,000 RPM spindle speed is designed for performance-oriented enterprise HDD applications compared with lower-speed 7.2K RPM server drives.

12Gb/s SAS

The drive uses a 12Gb/s SAS interface, providing the interface bandwidth expected by compatible modern SAS server storage environments.

Smart Carrier Design

The SC configuration is designed for compatible HPE server drive bays and serviceability.

Digitally Signed Firmware

HPE identifies the drive as having Digitally Signed (DS) firmware, an important characteristic of HPE’s enterprise server drive ecosystem.

Important Compatibility Warning:

Do not purchase this drive solely because your server has a 2.5-inch drive bay.

The 872738-001 is SAS, not SATA. Your server must have a compatible SAS backplane/controller and support the relevant HPE drive configuration.

It is also important to distinguish 1.8TB 10K SAS SFF 512e from other HPE drives such as 1TB, 1.2TB, 2TB or 2.4TB SAS drives, because the part numbers and compatibility can differ. HPE’s service documentation separately identifies these drive families.
