FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT MB004000JWFVP
What is the difference between MB004000JWFVP, 872487-B21 and 872745-001?
They identify the same physical drive at different points in HPE's numbering. MB004000JWFVP, this page, is an OEM model number — the string printed on the drive label by the manufacturer that builds it for HPE. 872487-B21 is the option kit number used to order the drive as a boxed product. 872745-001 is the spare part number used for service replacement. This family also includes one assembly revision and six additional OEM drive models; an assembly part number identifies a specific build revision of the drive as assembled. All are listed in the cross-reference block on this page.
MB004000JWFVP ships in several HPE option kits — which one do I need?
This drive ships under 818367-B21, 833928-B21 and 872487-B21. All three are Midline product line kits. 872487-B21 covers Gen8, Gen9 and Gen10 servers and uses the SC carrier, so it is the broadest fit for older platforms. 818367-B21 also uses the SC carrier but is listed for Gen10. 833928-B21 is listed for Gen10. Check the compatibility list on each kit's page against your specific server model before ordering.
Which servers accept this drive?
The drive is listed for the DL60 Gen9, DL80 Gen9, DL120 Gen9, DL160 Gen9, DL180 Gen9, DL320e Gen8 v2, DL360e Gen8, DL360p Gen8, DL360 Gen9, DL360 Gen10, DL380e Gen8, DL380p Gen8, DL380 Gen9, DL380 Gen10, DL388 Gen9, ML150 Gen9, ML310e Gen8 v2, ML350p Gen8, ML350 Gen9, SL4540 Gen8 and SL4545 G7. The server or enclosure must have 3.5-inch LFF bays to accept the Smart Carrier.
Does MB004000JWFVP arrive with a carrier fitted?
Yes. The drive is bundled with an HPE Smart Carrier, which is what makes it a hot-swap unit in a 3.5-inch LFF bay. You do not need to transfer the drive into a separate tray. If you are replacing a drive pulled from a Smart Carrier chassis, the mounting and bay fit are the same 3.5-inch LFF format.
What does digitally signed firmware mean on this drive?
The firmware carried by MB004000JWFVP is digitally signed, a feature HPE applies to drives in this generation of Business Critical storage. When cross-referencing an OEM model number, confirm the target drive is also a digitally signed firmware unit, since HPE lists signed and unsigned variants under distinct model strings even where capacity, 7,200 rpm spindle speed and the 12 Gb/s SAS interface are identical.
