HPE 877994-B21 1.6TB MU SFF 2.5 SCN SSD

HPE 877994-B21 1.6TB NVMe x4 Mixed Use SFF SCN DS SSD

The HPE 877994-B21 is HPE’s option kit for a 1.6TB NVMe solid state drive using a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface in the 2.5 inch U.2 form factor. It is a Mixed Use drive with digitally signed firmware, supplied in HPE’s SCN (Smart Carrier NVMe) hot-plug carrier for ProLiant servers with NVMe-capable drive bays.

The drive is based on the Intel DC P4600 series. NVMe connects directly to the processor over PCIe, removing the SAS or SATA controller bottleneck and delivering far higher throughput and lower latency than SATA SSDs.

Euroland IT Store offers the 877994-B21 in New and Refurbished condition, subject to stock.

• 2.5 inch U.2 drive in an SCN hot-plug carrier
• Spare equivalent: 880244-001

What Is the HPE 877994-B21?

877994-B21 is the option number. The HPE spare for the same drive is the HPE 880244-001. The “SCN” carrier is HPE’s NVMe version of the SmartDrive carrier, so it will only work in bays wired for NVMe.

Server Requirements for NVMe

Before ordering, confirm that your server has:

• An NVMe-enabled drive cage or backplane, often sold as an NVMe enablement kit
• The required NVMe cabling to the system board or a PCIe switch card
• Firmware and operating system support for NVMe hot-plug

A standard SAS/SATA SFF bay will not recognise this drive. If your server has only SAS bays, a SAS SSD such as the HPE 846436-B21 1.6TB SAS SSD is the alternative.

Where NVMe Makes the Biggest Difference

• High-transaction databases and in-memory analytics
• Software-defined storage such as VMware vSAN cache tiers
• AI, rendering and build servers with large scratch data

New HPE 877994-B21

A New 877994-B21 suits new NVMe deployments that require unused drives. Check the condition and stock on the product page before ordering.

Refurbished HPE 877994-B21

A Refurbished 877994-B21 offers NVMe performance at a lower cost. Refurbished drives have been previously used and prepared for resale. Review the condition and warranty for the refurbished option.

Other NVMe and SAS Options

Later 1.6TB NVMe options include the HPE P26414-001. For read-focused NVMe, see the HPE P24886-001 480GB NVMe SSD. For very large SAS capacity, see the HPE MO006400JWUGB 6.4TB SAS SSD.
