Product identity and audience

The HPE 516810-003 is a refurbished 600 GB hard drive with a 3.5 inch form factor and a 15000 rpm spindle speed. It connects through a SAS interface running at 6Gb/s and is built for internal use in compatible enterprise arrays. This drive targets administrators who need high-speed rotational storage for existing HP P6300 or P6500 Enterprise Virtual Array systems.

Upgrade context

The drive replaces a failed or lower-capacity SAS disk in the supported arrays, restoring the original performance tier of 15K rotational speed. The jump is worth it when the workload demands the low latency of 15000 rpm mechanics and the 600 GB capacity matches the volume sizing plan. No other interface or protocol is supported by this unit.

Fit and exclusions

This unit suits IT teams maintaining HP P6300 or P6500 Enterprise Virtual Array environments that require a qualified 6Gb/s SAS hard drive. Buyers who need a different capacity, a solid-state alternative, or a drive for non-HPE platforms should look at something else. The RoHS certification confirms environmental compliance for the refurbished stock.

Questions about this item

Will the 3.5" 516810-003 fit a standard 3.5-inch drive bay in an HP P6300 or P6500 array?

Yes, the 3.5-inch form factor matches the internal bays of the HP P6300 and P6500 Enterprise Virtual Array, and the 4.6-inch height, 7-inch width and 9-inch depth align with the tray dimensions used in those systems.

What is the correct way to seat the 6Gb/s SAS drive so the dual-port connection engages, and what step is often missed?

Slide the drive fully into the bay until the carrier clicks, then press the release latch firmly to lock the SAS connector onto the backplane; the step often missed is not pushing the latch until it audibly snaps, leaving the second port unconnected.

When should the 15000 rpm 600 GB drive be replaced in a RAID set to avoid rebuild failures?

Replace the drive once SMART reallocated-sector counts rise or after the rated workload limit for 15K enterprise SAS drives is reached, because a degraded 1.60 lb unit can stall a RAID rebuild on the P6300 or P6500 array.
