MB004000JWZVU is the OEM model number supplied in HPE option kit 872487-B21 for 4TB SAS 12G Midline 7.2K LFF (3.5in) SC Digitally Signed Firmware HDD. If you pulled this model number from a drive label or an inventory report, it maps to an HPE Business Critical midline drive: 4TB capacity, 7200 rpm spindle speed, 512 bytes per sector, and a Serial Attached SCSI 3 interface running at 12 Gb/s. It is a hot-swap 3.5-inch LFF drive mounted in an HPE Smart Carrier, so it seats in a standard 3.5in LFF bay. The firmware is digitally signed, which matters on Gen10 controllers that validate drive firmware signatures.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT MB004000JWZVU
What is the difference between MB004000JWZVU, 872487-B21 and 872745-001?
They identify the same physical drive at different points in HPE's numbering. This page, MB004000JWZVU, is an OEM model number — the identifier printed on the drive itself by the manufacturer. 872487-B21 is the HPE option kit number used when ordering the drive as a sellable product. 872745-001 is the spare part number used for service replacement. This family also includes one assembly revision and six OEM drive models; an assembly number tracks a specific build revision of the drive as delivered to HPE. All are listed in the cross-reference block on this page.
Which kit do I need — 833928-B21 or 872487-B21?
Both are HPE Midline kits for this 4TB 7.2K LFF drive. 872487-B21 supplies the drive in an SC (Smart Carrier) and covers Gen8, Gen9 and Gen10 servers, so it is the broader choice if you are populating older ProLiant chassis. 833928-B21 is listed for Gen10 servers. Check the compatibility list on each kit's page against your exact server model and generation before ordering, since carrier type must match the bay in your chassis.
Which servers does this drive fit?
HPE lists compatibility across ProLiant Gen8, Gen9 and Gen10 platforms with 3.5in LFF bays, including 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.
What are the performance specifications of MB004000JWZVU?
It is a 4TB midline drive spinning at 7200 rpm with a Serial Attached SCSI 3 interface rated at 12 Gb/s, provided as one SAS 12 Gb/s port. Sector format is 512 bytes. As an HPE Business Critical midline product, it is intended for high-capacity, lower-duty-cycle workloads rather than transactional performance tiers where higher spindle speeds are used.
Does the carrier come with the drive?
Yes. This drive is bundled with an HPE Smart Carrier and is a hot-swap unit, so it installs into a 3.5in LFF bay without a separate tray purchase. The Smart Carrier is the SC-generation tray used across supported ProLiant platforms. Confirm your chassis uses LFF bays with SC carriers, as older carrier types are not interchangeable with this assembly.
