Questions buyers ask about this part

Will the 6TB ProLiant Gen8 Midline SAS fit my server?

This is a 3.5" LFF part on 6Gb/s SAS. It fits any bay wired for 6Gb/s SAS with dual-port SAS routing, and the carrier is included so no separate tray is needed. Send us your server model and we will confirm backplane support, firmware level and any bracket or caddy required before you order — that check is part of every order we ship.

Should I take the 6TB or the 4TB?

They are the same drive with different capacity: identical 6Gb/s SAS, 3.5" LFF and endurance rating. The 4TB gives you less capacity per bay at a lower unit cost. Where bays are the constraint — a full backplane, or a rack you cannot grow — the larger capacity is usually cheaper per usable terabyte once you count the chassis it saves. Ask us for both on one quote and compare.

Is this HP part genuine, and is the warranty intact?

Yes. We supply through authorized distribution only, so the part carries the full HP manufacturer warranty and its firmware update path stays supported. No grey-market stock, no re-labelled drives, no voided warranties.
