HPE P40496-B21 240GB SATA RI SFF BC MV SSD

HPE P40496-B21 240GB SATA 6G Read Intensive SFF BC Multi Vendor SSD

The HPE P40496-B21 is a 240GB SATA read intensive SSD in HPE’s basic carrier multi vendor line, designed for ProLiant Gen10 Plus and Gen11 servers. As the entry capacity in the family, it is the classic boot and OS drive: a compact, dependable flash volume for hypervisor installs, operating systems, utility partitions and light read focused workloads that do not justify larger or higher endurance drives. The multi vendor programme lets HPE source proven flash from multiple manufacturers against a single certified specification, keeping availability strong and pricing sharp.

Euroland IT Store offers the P40496-B21 new and refurbished, with UK stock ready for fast dispatch. Refurbished units are tested for drive health, remaining endurance and firmware status before being securely wiped and warranted, making them an economical way to populate boot bays across a fleet. New sealed drives are on hand for customers whose policies call for factory stock.

Basic carrier drives fit the BC hot plug bays introduced with Gen10 Plus platforms, and the P40496-B21 installs tool free with native recognition from HPE controllers and iLO. Buying genuine HPE parts rather than bare third party SSDs means the carrier, firmware and telemetry all behave the way the server expects, which shows up in cleaner monitoring and simpler support calls. We stock the P40496-B21 alongside every larger capacity in this family, so mixed orders for boot drives and data drives arrive together. Ask us for availability and volume pricing today.

Benefits

Standardising boot drives on the P40496-B21 keeps fleet builds consistent and cheap to maintain: one part number, one firmware stream, one spare to hold. Read intensive flash gives operating systems fast boot and patch cycles while costing far less than higher endurance tiers the workload would never use. Refurbished pricing multiplies the saving across many servers, and exact match replacement means a failed boot drive is a ten minute swap rather than a rebuild puzzle.

When a build needs data capacity alongside boot volumes, the same family scales through the HPE P40497-B21 480GB SATA RI SSD and the HPE P40498-B21 960GB SATA RI BC SSD, both stocked here in new and refurbished condition.
