Hard Drives for HPE ProLiant Gen8 Servers

Key takeaways

• 51 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.
