HPE P40497-B21 480GB SATA 6G RI SFF SSD

HPE P40497-B21 480GB SATA 6G Read Intensive SFF SSD

The HPE P40497-B21 delivers 480GB of read intensive SATA flash for HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus and Gen11 servers, packaged in the basic carrier format these platforms use. It is one of the most frequently ordered drives in the multi vendor family, and for good reason: 480GB comfortably hosts an operating system plus applications, small databases, web content or VM boot volumes, all workloads where reads dominate and read intensive endurance is the cost efficient match. The SATA 6G interface keeps per bay costs low across large deployments.

Available from Euroland IT Store in new and refurbished condition, the P40497-B21 ships from UK stock with warranty cover on both grades. Our refurbished drives go through health diagnostics, wear verification and certified erasure, giving you the same genuine part at a materially lower price, a combination that suits fleet refreshes, lab environments and budget conscious production estates alike.

This option kit belongs to a tightly related set: the same physical drive also exists as a Smart Buy code and as a service spare, and we stock all three so you can buy whichever route your procurement follows. Genuine HPE parts carry signed firmware, present correctly to Smart Array controllers and report health through iLO, which keeps monitoring honest across a standardised fleet.

Benefits

The P40497-B21 hits the price and capacity point most server builds actually need, avoiding spend on endurance or interface headroom that read led workloads never touch. Exact part matching keeps arrays and boot mirrors uniform, so replacements and expansions behave predictably, and the availability of both new and refurbished stock lets you tier purchasing by criticality. Across a fleet, those savings compound quickly without changing the hardware standard you support.

This drive forms a set with the HPE P40497-S21 Smart Buy version and the HPE P41522-001 service spare, so whichever code your records reference, we can supply the identical drive. See the full server SSD and hard drive category for neighbouring capacities and endurance classes.
