HPE P40498-B21 960-GB 2.5 SATA RI 6G BC SSD

HPE P40498-B21 960GB 2.5 Inch SATA RI 6G BC SSD

Sitting at the most popular capacity point in HPE’s multi vendor SATA family, the HPE P40498-B21 provides 960GB of read intensive flash for ProLiant Gen10 Plus and Gen11 servers. It is the workhorse choice for web and application servers, content repositories, VM datastores with read led profiles and general purpose volumes where a terabyte class drive per bay keeps configurations simple. Basic carrier packaging means tool free installation into BC hot plug bays with immediate recognition by the server.

Euroland IT Store supplies the P40498-B21 both new and refurbished. Refurbished units are diagnostically tested, checked for remaining
endurance and securely erased before resale, then covered by our warranty, which makes scaling out capacity across multiple servers considerably more affordable than list pricing allows. New factory sealed stock is held for production critical builds and policy driven purchases.

The 960GB RI drive exists under three codes, the option kit listed here, a Smart Buy variant and a service spare, and we hold the full set, which simplifies sourcing whichever number your quote or asset system references. As with all genuine HPE parts, signed firmware and native iLO integration mean wear data, temperature and predictive failure alerts flow into the tools your team already monitors. If you are specifying a new build or standardising an estate, ask us about volume pricing on the P40498-B21 and its companion capacities; most stocked orders dispatch the same working day.
