HPE - 373384-001 - HP 36GB 15K ULTRA320 WW HARD DRIVE DISK

Product Overview

The HPE 373384-001 is an HP-branded 36GB 15K RPM Ultra320 SCSI (U320) hard drive designed for enterprise environments that still rely on parallel SCSI backplanes. With its 15K spindle speed and Ultra320 interface, it is a practical choice for maintaining legacy boot volumes, small database partitions, or utility storage in older server and storage platforms where SCSI compatibility is required.

This drive is commonly used in HP legacy infrastructures such as ProLiant servers and StorageWorks arrays that support Ultra320 SCSI drives (for example, ProLiant DL360/DL380 G4-class systems and selected StorageWorks MSA generations with SCSI shelves, depending on backplane and carrier requirements). It can also be deployed alongside related platform components from HPE to keep established environments operational without forced migrations.

For array deployments, ensure your system’s SCSI backplane, firmware, and storage controller support U320 devices; in many configurations this type of drive is paired with RAID CONTROLLER hardware to provide redundancy and predictable behaviour in 24/7 operation. If you are modernising parts of the stack while keeping the chassis, you may also consider SSD options where the platform supports them.

Key Features

Key technical characteristics of the HPE 373384-001 for professional maintenance and lifecycle extension:

• 36GB capacity to support legacy OS/boot volumes and compact utility datasets in SCSI-based systems.
• 15K RPM spindle speed to reduce access latency compared to lower-RPM enterprise SCSI drives.
• Ultra320 SCSI (U320) interface to integrate with parallel SCSI backplanes and shelves that require this standard.
• Designed for compatibility with HP ProLiant and StorageWorks platforms that accept Ultra320 SCSI drives, for example ProLiant DL360/DL380 G4-class systems (carrier/backplane dependent).
• Suitable for use in SCSI RAID sets to support mirroring or parity configurations for data protection (controller dependent).
• Enterprise hard drive design intent for continuous 24/7 operation in server rooms and data centers.
• Practical spare part for break/fix and maintenance contracts to keep older SCSI environments running without re-architecting.
• Works best when matched to the correct HP drive carrier/caddy type for the target chassis and backplane generation.

Refurbished Quality and Warranty

This is refurbished hardware, cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects. Refurbished drives are a practical way to extend the lifecycle of existing ProLiant/StorageWorks environments, control budget versus buying new, and reduce electronic waste.

All products include a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (batteries, tape drives and tape libraries include a three-month warranty). Extended warranty options are available on request. For installations that require a specific mounting solution, match the drive with the appropriate CADDY for your server or storage chassis.
