FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT 879299-001
What is the difference between 879299-001, 881457-B21 and 881507-001?
They identify the same physical drive under different HPE numbering schemes. 879299-001, the subject of this page, is an assembly part number: the manufacturing-level identifier that usually appears on the drive label and in PartSurfer results. 881457-B21 is the option part number used for ordering the boxed product, and 881507-001 is the spare part number used for service replacement. The same family also includes three OEM drive models, listed in the cross-reference block on this page.
I have 879299-001 on the label. What am I actually holding?
A 2.4 TB hot-swap hard drive in a 2.5-inch (6.4 cm) SFF Smart Carrier. It connects over Serial Attached SCSI 3 with one SAS 12 Gb/s interface, rated at a 1.2 GB/s data transfer rate, and spins at 10,000 rpm. It is formatted as Advanced Format 512e and ships with digitally signed firmware. It installs in a 2.5-inch SFF drive bay.
What is an OEM model number, and how does it relate to 879299-001?
An OEM model number is the drive manufacturer's own identifier for the mechanism supplied to HPE, and it is often printed alongside the HPE numbers on the label. Three such model numbers exist for this product and are shown in the cross-reference block on this page. If your label shows one of them rather than 879299-001, you are still looking at the same 2.4 TB SAS 12G 10K SFF drive.
Which servers accept this drive?
It is supported in HPE ProLiant Gen8, Gen9 and Gen10 systems with 2.5-inch SFF bays, including DL360, DL380, DL560 and DL580 rack lines, ML110, ML350 and other tower models, BL460c and BL660c blades, WS460c, SL and Apollo XL nodes, and Synergy 480 and 660 compute modules across Gen9 and Gen10. It also covers DL325 Gen10 Plus v1 and DL385 Gen10 Plus v1.
What does 512e and digitally signed firmware mean here?
512e is Advanced Format: the drive uses larger physical sectors internally while presenting 512-byte logical sectors to the host, so it behaves like a conventional 512-byte drive to the controller and operating system. Digitally signed firmware means the firmware image carries a cryptographic signature that the server verifies before it is applied, which blocks unauthorized or altered firmware from loading onto the drive.
