Smart Carrier or Low Profile?

The carrier has to match the bay. Gen8 and Gen9 ProLiant servers take 3.5-inch drives on the Smart Carrier (SC), as do the DL380 Gen10 and DL385 Gen10; most other Gen10 models and every Gen10 Plus, Gen11 and Gen12 model take the Low Profile (LP) carrier. The carrier is in the drive's name.

What is a helium drive?

A high-capacity drive filled with helium instead of air. In HPE's words, “helium-filled drives virtually eliminate turbulence because helium is 1/7th as dense as air”, so the platters can sit closer together for more capacity in the same space. HPE writes Helium or He in the drive's name.
