I have been running a little home server using an HP microserver with 3 hard disks set up in a RAID array with two disks mirroring each other and one hot spare. I cannot remember how long ago I put it together  it is looking very dusty so probably several years 

I normally switch it on in the morning and walk away but this morning I watched it start up and noticed an error at start up on one of the disks.

It appears that the software RAID has done it's job and switched from using the failing disk and is now using the spare.

my problem now is that I want to replace the failing disk with something equivalent and I haven't been paying attention to who owns which HDD manufacturers and which manufacturers to steer clear of.

Model Family:     HP 250GB SATA disk VB0250EAVER

I don't even know if I can still buy a 250GB SATA disk. 

[Varche]

Ebay ?

[Mr Gav]

TB will be along shortly to advise

Ebay ?

l had a quick look. The drives on offer appeared to have done as many hours as my dead/dying one 

[TheBoy]

Ideally with RAID, you want same disks...  ...this is one reason the likes of HPE and Dell dump their own firmwares on, so they can pick different OEMs, but end up with identically function/performance disks, and hotplug support.

BUt given you are (presumably) running off the onboard B1x0i software RAID device, you'll find it actually has little bearing. The B1x0i isn't hotplug compatible IIRC, and the microserver's drive "backplane" (just cables IIRC) certainly won't be.

250Gb drives are quite hard to source now, especially Enterprise ones.  Bro replaced an entire G6 server due to cost of drives (and the likelihood more would fail, and it was getting well past its sell by date - and the day before we decomed it, the array battery failed, so good call).

I may have a NHP HP/HPE 250Gb SATA drive somewhere, as some of OOF's servers came with them over the years, and they wouldn't have been used. Post up the HP/HPE Part number (Bxxxxxx-xxx) and I'll check. Yours for postage if I have one.

[TheBoy]

Just checked one of my servers here, B140i definitely does support hotplug (with the right backplane), so you may have hotplug support if your microserver has a Hotplug backplane.

[Andy H]

That would be fantastic if you are able to fix me up with a replacement. I may be mistaken but I really don't think that my little Proliant microserver supports hot-plug. I don't know whether it would hurt to use a hot-plug disc in a non-hotplug server

I need to boot SWMBO off the internet so I can switch the the thing off and pull the disc out to have a look at the labels (& remind myself of which Microserver it is). SMART reports the model no as VB0250EAVER.

Yup, that's failing

Grab the 2 numbers (Part No and "Replace with") off the sticker next time its powered down, and I'll see what I can find.

Finally managed to get the two year old off to sleep  - going to try and read the numbers from photographs I took last night (if the one year old will allow........ )

OK, should be enough details there, let me have a look round

[TheBoy]

Don't have an exact match in my selection of HP drives, the two nearest are a Seagate OEM one (based on underlying model) and a WD OEM one (GPN match).

Image of both with labels at:

Let me know which you prefer, and I'll just do a quick check on it.  If it spins, I have no doubt it will be fine, as these normally come with new ProLiant servers from that era, so would have been immediately removed, as they have always been far too small for my needs.

[TheBoy]

LOL, looking properly, both match on the GPN

[Andy H]

I am interested in either (or both) of them - and happy to pay actual money (not just postage)
