HPE P40497-S21 480GB SATA 6G SFF SSD Hard Drive

HPE P40497-S21 480GB SATA 6G SFF Smart Buy SSD

The HPE P40497-S21 is the Smart Buy edition of HPE’s 480GB SATA 6G read intensive SFF SSD for ProLiant Gen10 Plus and Gen11 servers. Smart Buy codes cover the identical physical drive as the standard option kit, packaged under HPE’s volume friendly programme, which makes the S21 suffix a familiar sight on reseller quotes and channel orders. Inside the carrier is the same certified multi vendor flash: a 480GB read intensive drive well suited to operating systems, application volumes and read heavy data sets.

Euroland IT Store stocks the P40497-S21 new and refurbished, so you can match whichever code appears in your asset register or quote history without compromise. Refurbished stock is health tested, endurance checked and certified erased before dispatch, and both conditions carry our warranty. For resellers and MSPs fulfilling customer specifications that name Smart Buy codes specifically, having this exact part number available off the shelf in the UK removes a common sourcing bottleneck.

Functionally, the drive behaves exactly as its option kit twin: basic carrier fitment, hot plug support, signed firmware and full visibility in iLO and HPE management tools. That equivalence is worth knowing, because it widens your sourcing options across genuine HPE parts without changing anything in the server. Whether you need one P40497-S21 to complete a build or several dozen for a rollout, our team can confirm stock, pricing and delivery quickly, and cross reference the equivalent codes if your paperwork uses a different suffix.

Benefits

Ordering the P40497-S21 keeps procurement paperwork clean when quotes and asset systems reference Smart Buy codes, while delivering exactly the hardware the server needs. Read intensive 480GB flash covers the majority of boot and application duties at the lowest sensible cost per server, and refurbished availability drops that cost further for lab, spare pool and secondary estate use. Because the drive is interchangeable with its sibling codes, a single stocked part protects uptime across servers bought through any channel.

Those siblings are the HPE P40497-B21 option kit and the HPE P41522-001 field spare, both listed here for direct comparison. For other capacities in Smart Buy and standard trim, browse our server spares SSD and hard drive range and filter to suit.
