Product Information
Full details
The HPE 872373-002 is a high-performance 800GB SAS 12G Mixed Use (MU) solid-state drive designed specifically for enterprise server and workstation environments. It is intended for IT professionals and administrators who require reliable, high-speed storage for demanding data-intensive workloads. A key caveat to consider is that this drive utilizes a SAS 12G interface and a Small Form Factor (SFF) chassis, meaning it is not compatible with standard SATA desktop connections and requires a compatible SAS controller.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can I use this in a standard desktop computer?
No, this drive requires a SAS interface and a compatible SAS controller, which are typically found in enterprise servers, not consumer desktops.
What does 'Mixed Use' mean for this drive?
Mixed Use (MU) indicates the drive is built to handle a balance of read and write operations, making it more durable than 'Read Intensive' drives for heavy-duty workloads.
Is this drive hot-swappable?
Yes, when installed in a compatible HPE server bay with a supporting backplane, this drive supports hot-swapping.
Does it come with a drive tray?
Yes, it includes the HPE Smart Carrier (SC) tray for immediate installation into compatible servers.
What is the interface speed of this drive?
The drive utilizes a SAS 12G interface, supporting data transfer rates up to 12 Gbit/s.
Troubleshooting
Drive not detected in the RAID controller interface
Verify the drive is fully seated in the drive cage and check that your RAID controller supports SAS 12G drives.
Performance seems lower than expected
Ensure the drive is connected to a 12G SAS controller port rather than a 6G port and check the server's power plan settings.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-speed 12G SAS interface for intensive I/O
- Enterprise-grade reliability and durability
- Optimized for HPE server compatibility
- Compact SFF design saves rack space
Cons
- Requires a dedicated SAS controller
- Not compatible with standard consumer SATA ports
- Higher cost compared to consumer-grade SSDs
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the drive, slide it into an available 2.5-inch bay on your compatible HPE server chassis until the Smart Carrier locks into place. Since this is an enterprise SAS component, ensure your server backplane and RAID controller support SAS 12G speeds. Once installed, initialize the drive through your RAID controller's BIOS or the HPE Smart Storage Administrator (SSA) utility. For care, keep your server environment clean and ensure proper airflow, as SAS SSDs perform best within specified temperature ranges. Avoid physical shock, and always ensure firmware updates are applied via the HPE Support Center to maintain drive security and performance.
