Hard Drives for HPE ProLiant Gen8 Servers

Key takeaways

  • 106 listings match this collection right now.
  • The Smart Carrier tray introduced on Gen8 carried forward into Gen9, so a Gen8-tray drive generally fits a Gen9 bay, though the backplane still decides which interface it runs.
  • Gen8 predates NVMe support in HPE's ProLiant line, so every drive for this generation is SAS or SATA; there is no NVMe option to look for on Gen8.
  • An array built in the Gen8 era is likely formatted 512n or 512e throughout, and a replacement has to match the format the existing members use.

HPE ProLiant Gen8 servers (DL360p, DL380p, DL560, ML350p, BL460c) introduced the Smart Carrier tray with the status ring. Every listing here is catalogued as supplied for a Gen8 platform.

How to choose server hard drives

Match the interface and link rate the controller or backplane presents, the bay width (2.5-inch or 3.5-inch), and the rotational class already in the array: 10K and 15K drives for latency-sensitive duty, 7200 RPM nearline drives for capacity. Replacing an array member also means matching capacity and sector format, or the controller can reject the drive.
