  • 500 GB capacity for ample server storage

HP 500GB 7.2K RPM SATA Drive

This HP MM0500GBKAK internal hard drive provides 500GB of storage on a 2.5 inch form factor. It spins at 7200RPM and connects through a SATA 6Gb/s interface. The unit ships with a Smart Carrier caddy tray included.

Suited for Gen8 server bays, not laptop upgrades

The drive is built for HP Gen8 server chassis that accept the supplied Smart Carrier tray. Buyers upgrading standard laptops or desktops without 2.5 inch SATA bays and carrier mounting points should look at something else.

2.5 inch SATA 6Gb/s interface

The drive uses a 2.5 inch SATA 6Gb/s connection and includes the proprietary Smart Carrier caddy required for hot-swap Gen8 server slots. Confirm the host system supports this carrier design before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does my server have a 2.5-inch SATA bay with a Gen8-compatible Smart Carrier slot for the included tray?

The drive ships with an HP Smart Carrier caddy that fits Gen8 2.5-inch SATA bays; the tray latches directly into the server's drive cage without extra brackets.

Will the 6 Gb/s SATA link negotiate down to 3 Gb/s on an older Gen7 backplane?

Yes, the SATA 6 Gb/s interface auto-negotiates to 3 Gb/s on Gen7 or earlier backplanes, so the drive spins at 7200 RPM but transfers at the slower link speed.

How do I confirm the 500 GB drive is healthy and recognised at 7200 RPM after installation?

Check the server's POST or iLO storage view for model MM0500GBKAK, 500 GB capacity and 7200 RPM, then run the HP Smart Storage Administrator SMART test to verify no reallocated sectors.
