HPE P22268-B21 1.6TB NVMe MU SFF 2.5 SSD

HPE P22268-B21 1.6TB NVMe Mixed Use SFF 2.5in SSD

The HPE P22268-B21 is a 1.6TB NVMe mixed use solid state drive in the 2.5 inch small form factor, supplied as an HPE option kit for ProLiant servers with NVMe-capable bays. Euroland IT Store offers P22268-B21 in new and refurbished condition to UK organisations moving latency-sensitive workloads onto direct-attached NVMe flash.

NVMe removes the storage controller bottleneck entirely, connecting flash straight to PCIe lanes. The practical result is dramatically lower latency and far higher parallelism than SAS or SATA drives can offer, which transforms databases, real-time analytics, caching layers and dense virtualisation hosts. With mixed use endurance, P22268-B21 handles the substantial write traffic these workloads generate alongside their reads, keeping performance stable through sustained pressure rather than only in short bursts.

The 1.6TB capacity gives enough room for production datasets, high-churn virtual machines or a serious caching tier, while the U.2 style 2.5 inch hot-plug format keeps serviceability familiar: drives slot into supported NVMe bays and are managed through standard HPE tooling, with health and wear data surfaced in iLO. That combination of NVMe performance and ProLiant serviceability is exactly why option kits like this exist.

Euroland IT Store supplies HPE P22268-B21 with fast UK dispatch and worldwide shipping available. Refurbished drives are tested before shipment and bring NVMe performance well below list pricing, while new sealed stock remains available for procurement-controlled environments. Call or email for a quote, and our team will confirm your server supports NVMe SFF drives and identify the matching spare number for future maintenance.

• Managed through standard HPE tooling on supported systems

Benefits

Moving the hottest tier of a workload from SAS to NVMe is often the single largest performance upgrade available to an existing server, and it needs no application changes. Query times drop, virtual machine density rises and storage stops being the resource everyone waits on. Mixed use endurance means those gains persist under real write pressure rather than fading as the drive fills.

The corresponding spare HPE P26414-001 1.6TB NVMe MU SSD is the like-for-like replacement to note for maintenance, and the HPE P24886-001 480GB NVMe RI SSD covers smaller NVMe boot and read tiers on the same platforms. Refurbished units are tested before dispatch and sharply reduce the cost of NVMe adoption, with new stock available where needed. The complete flash range is in our SSD hard drive category. If you are unsure whether your backplane supports NVMe media, send us the server model and we will confirm compatibility before you spend anything, then quote both new and refurbished options side by side.
