Compatibility and specifications

K0F28A is the largest nearline drive in the HPE 3PAR StoreServ 7000 QuickSpecs drive list. PartSurfer gives three service spares for it: 793136-001 (drive model SMKR6000S5xeN7.2), 826014-001 (HAKP6000S5xeN7.2, marked limited supply, with HPE noting that the newer drive needs a higher OS level) and 871860-001 (SMBP6000S5xeN7.2). The drive fits the M6720 4U enclosure, where LFF drives load in identical pairs from the bottom of each column and every column holds one drive type. HPE recommends RAID 6 for nearline drives and twelve drives per node pair to start, and the minimum later upgrade is four drives per node pair or two per enclosure, whichever is larger.
