MB4000JVYZQ 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 off a drive label or a controller inventory report, it identifies a 4TB 7,200 rpm large form factor hard drive with a 12 Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI 3 interface, 512 bytes per sector, and digitally signed firmware. It is a hot-swap drive mounted in an HPE Smart Carrier for 3.5-inch LFF bays. Model numbers like this one are printed on the drive itself, which is why they rarely match the HPE option or spare number used for ordering.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT MB4000JVYZQ
What is the difference between MB4000JVYZQ, 872487-B21 and 872745-001?
All refer to the same physical 4TB SAS 12G 7.2K LFF drive. MB4000JVYZQ, this page, is an OEM model number: the identifier printed on the drive by its manufacturer and reported by inventory tools. 872487-B21 is the HPE option kit number used for ordering. 872745-001 is the HPE spare number. This family also includes one assembly revision and six OEM drive models, all listed in the cross-reference block on this page. An assembly part number identifies a specific build revision of the finished drive assembly.
MB4000JVYZQ 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 HPE Business Critical Midline drives. 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 and supports Gen10. 833928-B21 supports Gen10. Check the compatibility list on each kit's page against your exact server model before ordering.
Which servers accept a drive with this model number?
The drive is listed for ProLiant 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. It requires a 3.5-inch LFF bay.
Does MB4000JVYZQ come with a carrier?
Yes. The drive is bundled with an HPE Smart Carrier for 3.5-inch LFF bays, so it installs as a hot-swap unit without transferring hardware from another drive. The carrier is the SC type. If your chassis uses 3.5-inch LFF bays and the server appears on the compatibility list, the drive and carrier assembly drops straight into the bay.
What does digitally signed firmware mean on this drive?
The firmware image carried by this drive is digitally signed, which allows the server to verify the firmware's origin before it loads. It is a security feature applied across HPE Digitally Signed Firmware drives. Functionally, the drive remains a 4TB 7,200 rpm Midline SAS unit running at 12 Gb/s with 512 bytes per sector; the signing affects firmware validation, not capacity or throughput.
