HPE P40503-B21 960GB SATA 6G SFF SSD

HPE P40503-B21 960GB SATA 6G SFF BC SSD

The HPE P40503-B21 is a 960GB SATA 6G solid state drive in the 2.5 inch small form factor, supplied as the boxed option kit in the basic carrier (BC) format used by HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus and Gen11 servers. Euroland IT Store offers the P40503-B21 in new and refurbished condition, with UK stock ready for next working day dispatch on most orders.

At 960GB, this drive hits the most popular capacity point for general purpose server storage. It is large enough to host operating systems, application volumes, file services and virtual machine storage on smaller hosts, yet priced sensibly enough to populate multiple bays for RAID protection. The 6Gb/s SATA interface is fully supported by HPE embedded and Smart Array controllers, and the basic carrier design clips directly into the BC drive bays that Gen10 Plus and Gen11 platforms introduced, so installation is a tool free, hot plug operation.

As the option kit part number, P40503-B21 is what you order when adding capacity to a live server or specifying drives for a new build, complete with HPE packaging and carrier. Our refurbished units are fully tested, securely erased and warranty backed, which makes scaling out across a cluster considerably more affordable. We supply organisations ranging from schools and NHS trusts to MSPs and enterprise data centres, and as long standing stockists of HPE parts we can bundle drives with the servers, memory and networking they sit alongside. Send us your server serial number and required quantity and we will confirm compatibility and turn a quotation around the same day.

Benefits

Standardising on the correct option kit keeps every bay in your estate consistent, and P40503-B21 delivers dependable 960GB SATA storage at a price that makes RAID mirrors and larger arrays economical. Solid state operation removes the vibration and mechanical wear of hard disks, improves boot and application response, and reduces power draw across a rack. Buying refurbished can cut the cost of a multi drive rollout dramatically, while new sealed kits remain available where procurement rules require them, and both grades ship with warranty support.

If you are servicing an existing machine, the matching spare is the HPE P41528-001 960GB SATA 6G SFF SSD, while the read intensive HPE P40498-B21 960GB 2.5 inch SATA RI 6G BC SSD is the closely related alternative at the same capacity.
