About This Product
Overview
The HPE 1.2TB 10K SAS 12Gb/s 2.5" SFF Enterprise HDD 781514-002 is a server-focused hard drive designed for HPE ProLiant environments that need dependable storage in a compact format. Its 2.5-inch small form factor makes it suitable for systems where drive bay density and efficient use of space are important, while the SAS interface supports enterprise storage connectivity. As an HPE-branded drive with part number 781514-002, it is intended for use in compatible server configurations where matching hardware and consistent drive behavior matter. This drive is a practical choice for organizations looking to maintain or expand storage capacity in supported HPE systems without changing the overall platform design.
Performance & Scalability
With a 10K RPM spindle speed and 12Gb/s SAS interface, this enterprise HDD is built for workloads that benefit from responsive mechanical storage and reliable server integration. The 10K rotational speed helps support balanced performance for business applications, file storage, and general server use, while SAS connectivity is commonly used in environments that require stable, managed storage operation. Because it is a hot plug drive, it can fit into server workflows that support easier drive replacement and maintenance. For IT teams managing HPE ProLiant servers, this drive can be used as part of a scalable storage strategy where consistent drive type and interface help simplify system planning and replacement.
Storage Flexibility
The 1.2TB capacity provides a useful balance between space and drive count for enterprise storage deployments. In a 2.5-inch SFF design, the drive can help maximize the number of available bays in supported systems, which is valuable when building storage arrays or replacing existing drives in dense server chassis. The SAS interface is well suited to server storage environments where compatibility and predictable operation are priorities. Since this drive is compatible with HPE ProLiant servers, it can be a straightforward option for maintaining the storage layout of an existing system while keeping the hardware aligned with the original platform requirements.
Why Choose This Product?
This HPE enterprise HDD is a strong fit for buyers who need a compatible replacement or expansion drive for supported HPE ProLiant servers. It combines a practical 1.2TB capacity, 10K RPM performance, and 12Gb/s SAS connectivity in a compact 2.5-inch form factor. Hot plug support adds convenience in server environments that are designed for serviceable drive bays, and the HPE part number helps simplify identification during procurement or maintenance. For businesses and IT departments seeking a server-grade hard drive that matches established HPE storage requirements, this model offers a clear and focused solution.
About this drive
HPE 1.2TB 10K SAS 12Gb/s 2.5 inch SFF enterprise hard drive, part number 781514-002, a hot-plug ProLiant drive, refurbished. Tested and stocked in Doha, delivered across Qatar within a day.
HPE part 781514-002 is the 1.2TB 10,000 rpm SAS drive HPE fitted across ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 servers as the standard performance drive: a 2.5 inch small form factor unit on a 12Gb/s SAS interface, hot-pluggable in the SFF bays and recognised by Smart Array controllers as an HPE drive. It is the same part ServerDove fits in pairs to its own assembled ProLiant servers. It is refurbished and sold as a bare drive.
Buyers in Qatar use 781514-002 to match the drives already in a ProLiant array, to fill the open bays of a refurbished Gen9 or Gen10 server with the factory drive, or as a like for like replacement. ServerDove keeps it in Doha stock in quantity.

As the most common HPE drive of its generation, 781514-002 is the one most likely to be found in an existing array, which makes repairs straightforward. Its 10K spindle delivers roughly 200 megabytes per second sequentially and the random access that databases and virtual machines need from spinning storage; a RAID 10 set of eight is a capable datastore. The 12Gb/s interface matches Gen9 and Gen10 backplanes exactly.
Two of these are fitted to ServerDove's assembled Gen9 and Gen10 servers as the system volume, so buyers of those servers can add matching drives from the same stock to fill the remaining six bays. The drive uses 512 byte emulation over 4K physical sectors, standard for its generation and handled transparently by Smart Array controllers, and a rebuild of one drive completes in an hour or two.
Installation
Fit the drive in an HPE SmartDrive carrier, not included, and hot-plug it into the ProLiant bay. The Smart Array controller identifies the part and rebuilds a degraded logical drive automatically; otherwise use Smart Storage Administrator or iLO to add it to an array or set it as a spare. A 1.2TB rebuild completes in an hour or two under light load. Keep firmware consistent across the array with HPE's service pack updates.
