Frequently Asked Questions

Is 879397-001 compatible with HPE Primera or Alletra storage arrays?

879397-001 is validated specifically for HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000. HPE Primera and Alletra use different drive validation and are not backward-compatible with 3PAR-specific drive part numbers. Consult HPE Primera or Alletra QuickSpecs for the correct validated drive part numbers for those platforms.

What is the difference between 879397-001 (SAS 12Gb/s) and 834598-001 (SAS 6Gb/s)?

879397-001 uses SAS 12Gb/s for HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 and delivers double the interface bandwidth of 834598-001 (SAS 6Gb/s). The SAS 6Gb/s variant targets legacy HPE SAS 6Gb/s platforms. Both are FIPS 140-2 validated cMLC SSDs at 3.84TB — the key difference is interface speed and platform validation.

Does HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 require HPE-validated drives?

Yes — HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 requires HPE-validated drives for supported operation and warranty coverage. Using non-HPE-validated drives may result in unsupported configurations and voided support agreements. Always verify drive part numbers against HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 QuickSpecs before installation.

The HPE 879397-001 3.84TB SAS 12Gb/s cMLC FIPS SSD delivers high-capacity compliance-grade storage for HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 enterprise deployments. Get it in stock at the lowest price — order today.
