Hello exitapg,

We would like to know if the drive came pre-installed in your system or if you added it on after you purchase.

Hi it came pre-installed in a couple of HP servers which we have since disposed of We kept these drives as we intended to use them in a Dell configured VSAN setup using 3 x R720xd servers as hosts with a hybrid disk storage array consisting of 2 x 691851-001 SSDs as cache and 12 x 3TB HDDs in each host. So in total 36 HDDs and 6 SSDs

Hello exitapg,

VMWare shows HP part No. 691868-B21 as compatible. Please look at the attached document on page 5 that the 69168-B21 is an "Option Kit" which included the bulk Assy 691851-001 (the part number shown on the drive). Only the "Option Kit" number is not printed on the label, just the bulk Assy number. For your reference, please see the picture below:
