I have a 1.2GB and a 2.1GB hard drive (still working), in a still functional HP Vectra VA.
I don't remember the exact models, and I'm not gonna take it apart to find out.
But... I do have a pic of the whole computer...
I put Windows XP on one of the drives and Diablo II on the other.
I could get into the channel and even create a game on Diablo II.
I was standing in the town in Act 1, but I couldn't move at all.
It has a whopping 96 KB of RAM and 4KB of VRAM. Pentium Pro CPU.
The hard drives were called something like Quantum Fireball...
The first halfway decent hard drive I had was a Western Digital 36GB Raptor (10,000 rpm).
I used Raptors and Velociraptors (successors), for my Windows drives, before SSDs came out.
I still have this as well... assembled and working...

I never "used" the HP Vectra VA.
A neighbor gave it to me, and I just played around with it to see if it still worked.
Everything was fine except the CPU temp. The heat sink had been on so long it was welded to the CPU.
I was afraid I'd destroy the CPU if I pulled the heat sink off.
So... I "added" to the heat sink to bring the temps down.
A nice 1/4" x 2" aluminum bar... I bent it a little so the front and rear fan's air flow wouldn't be blocked.
I used 5 minute epoxy to attach it.

In '95 it would have been outstanding.
That HP Vectra VA had one of the original IBM Model M mechanical keyboards.
Probably the best keyboard ever made. They wouldn't give me that. LOL
