This server-qualified 4TB Midline hard drive is designed for legacy ProLiant servers and storage enclosures equipped with compatible 3.5-inch LFF SATA drive bays. It provides 7,200 RPM performance, Native Command Queuing, a 512-byte logical block format, and a qualified 3Gb/s SATA interface.
This service family was sourced from multiple enterprise hard-drive manufacturers. The assembly number, firmware model, underlying manufacturer, and cache size can vary while the capacity, SATA interface, rotational speed, logical block size, workload class, and supported system fit remain service-equivalent.
The underlying manufacturer codes identify base drive mechanisms found within this service family. For complete service equivalence, verify the system firmware label, assembly number, and required drive carrier. A generic bare drive with the same manufacturer model is not automatically a system-qualified replacement.
This 3.5-inch SATA hard drive can be installed in several carrier styles depending on the server chassis and drive-bay configuration. These caddies are not interchangeable. Match the caddy to your original carrier, server model, drive cage, and backplane before ordering.
☑️ 373211-001 - 3.5" LFF Standard Hot-Plug Drive Caddy - Primary carrier option for compatible legacy ProLiant G2-G7 systems and the D2600 enclosure. Includes four drive-mounting screws.
☑️ 651314-001 - 3.5" LFF Smart Carrier Drive Caddy - For compatible Gen8 and Gen9 systems equipped with 3.5-inch LFF Smart Carrier bays.
☑️ 651320-001 - 3.5" LFF Smart Carrier Drive Caddy - Alternate Smart Carrier option for compatible Gen8 and Gen9 LFF drive bays.
☑️ 774026-001 - 3.5" LFF Low Profile Drive Caddy - For compatible systems using the later Low Profile Carrier design, including select DL20, DL160, and DL180 Gen10 configurations.
☑️ 574097-001 - 3.5" LFF Quick Release Drive Caddy - Chassis-specific Quick Release carrier for compatible SL160, SL165z, and SL170 G6/G7 systems.
The caddies are sold separately and do not convert SATA to SAS or make the drive compatible with an unsupported server or controller. The 373211-001 standard carrier is the appropriate starting option for the legacy systems listed below.
Compatibility depends on the server chassis, drive cage, backplane, controller, and firmware. The following list covers documented configurations and is not exhaustive.
✔️ ProLiant DL120 G7: 3.5-inch LFF hot-plug configurations
✔️ ProLiant LFF / SAS Expander Configurations: DL170e G6, DL370 G6, DL380 G6, DL380 G7, DL385 G5p, DL385 G6, DL385 G7, DL580 G5, DL785 G5, DL785 G6
✔️ ProLiant ML Configurations: ML350 G6, ML370 G6
✔️ Disk Enclosure: D2600 12-bay 3.5-inch LFF Disk Enclosure
Some listed ProLiant hosts require a supported P410/P410i controller, SAS Expander, and compatible internal LFF cage or attached D2600 enclosure. Confirm the exact storage configuration before ordering.
☑️ Server-qualified Midline hard-drive family
☑️ 4TB capacity with 7,200 RPM performance
☑️ Single-port SATA interface with Native Command Queuing
☑️ 512-byte logical block format for legacy Smart Array environments
☑️ Hot-plug operation with the correct standard LFF carrier
☑️ Suitable for RAID arrays, server storage, and high-capacity backup applications
✓ This is a SATA drive, not SAS. Do not substitute SAS models such as MB4000FCWDK or ST4000NM0023.
✓ This family uses the legacy 3.5-inch LFF standard hot-plug carrier associated primarily with G1-G7 systems. It is not a direct complete-unit substitute for Gen8/Gen9 Smart Carrier, later low-profile carrier, quick-release, SFF, or non-hot-plug products.
✓ Verified underlying drive mechanisms may natively support SATA 6Gb/s, but this option family is qualified and advertised at 3Gb/s. The drive and controller negotiate the supported connection rate automatically.
