The HPE 717971-B21 is a 480GB 6G SATA Value Endurance (VE) 2.5-inch Smart Carrier SSD engineered for HPE ProLiant servers running read-heavy enterprise workloads. As a genuine HPE option kit, 717971-B21 arrives in the familiar SmartDrive hot-plug carrier, so it slots straight into supported SFF drive bays and is recognised immediately by HPE Smart Array controllers and HPE management tooling.
With a 480GB usable capacity on a 6Gb/s SATA interface, this Value Endurance SSD is built for workloads where reads dominate writes: web servers, boot volumes, OS mirrors, read caching, content delivery, reporting databases and virtualised environments with read-intensive I/O profiles. Replacing spinning media with the HPE 717971-B21 delivers a dramatic uplift in IOPS and latency compared with 10K or 15K SAS hard drives, often allowing consolidation of several HDD spindles onto a single solid state device.
For IT procurement teams, the part number matters. Searching for 717971-B21 means you need this exact HPE option SKU, and Euroland IT Store, a trusted UK supplier of enterprise hardware and genuine HPE parts, stocks it in both new and refurbished condition. Refurbished units are fully tested and offer substantial savings for organisations maintaining Gen8 and Gen9 estates, while new stock suits buyers with strict procurement policies. The equivalent HP spare part is 718138-001, which we also supply if your maintenance documentation references the spare number instead of the option kit.
Whether you are expanding an SSD tier, replacing a failed drive or standardising a fleet, the HPE 717971-B21 480GB SATA VE SSD is a proven, cost-effective choice backed by fast UK dispatch and expert pre-sales advice.
Choosing the HPE 717971-B21 gives you an exact-match, HPE-validated SSD rather than a generic drive that may not seat correctly in SmartDrive carriers or report health data to HPE tooling. That means predictable firmware behaviour, accurate wear reporting through Smart Storage Administrator and no compatibility guesswork during maintenance windows.
Performance-wise, moving read-intensive volumes from SAS HDDs to this 480GB SATA VE SSD cuts application latency and boosts IOPS density per bay, which is especially valuable in virtualised hosts and reporting databases. It remains one of the most popular options in our range of HPE server SSD drives, and the 2.5-inch form factor also lowers power and cooling costs per terabyte served.
Commercially, buying 717971-B21 from Euroland IT Store means a choice of new stock or fully tested refurbished units at a significant discount, ideal for extending the life of Gen8/Gen9 servers that no longer justify list-price components. If your paperwork lists the spare number instead, the HPE 718138-001 480GB SATA VE SSD is the direct equivalent, while the later-generation HPE 832414-B21 480GB SATA SSD suits customers standardising newer ProLiant estates. With UK stock, fast dispatch and volume pricing for resellers and MSPs, it is a low-risk way to keep production systems running and projects on budget.
