HPE P49341-001 6.4TB SAS-24Gbps 2.5″ SSD

P49341-001 is the assembly number associated with HPE’s 6.4TB SAS 24Gb/s Mixed Use SFF Basic Carrier Multi Vendor SSD family. It maps to service spare P49751-001 and commercial option P49057-B21. The assembly reference is most useful when a technician is identifying the physical drive already installed in a server.

Identify the Installed Drive before Ordering

A 6.4TB capacity label alone cannot establish the correct replacement. Interface generation, carrier, firmware family and workload class all matter. P49341-001 narrows the search to the intended HPE 24G SAS Basic Carrier assembly.

Cross-Reference

Why Assembly Tracking Helps Multi Vendor Storage

HPE can qualify different underlying media models to the same commercial specification. Recording the assembly gives asset teams a stable HPE hardware identity, while the physical model can be stored as an additional detail when available.

Do Not Treat Every SFF SAS Drive as Compatible

The P49327-001 1.6TB assembly belongs to a 12G Smart Carrier family. P49341-001 belongs to a 24G Basic Carrier family. Both are SFF SAS SSDs, but they target different storage generations.

Performance Is a System Property

The drive can participate in a high-performance storage design, but results depend on the controller, backplane and RAID configuration. The P58543-001 MR408i-o and P47952-001 MR416i-o illustrate two Gen11 controller choices with different lane and cache specifications.

Mixed Use Workloads

Mixed Use endurance is intended for workloads with substantial read and write activity. Virtualisation, databases and analytics are common examples, although actual write volume should determine whether the endurance class is appropriate.

New and Refurbished Assembly Stock

New assemblies can support planned deployments and spares. Refurbished P49341-001-family drives can be practical for compatible systems, but remaining flash health and the offered warranty matter for used media.

Capacity Planning

At 6.4TB per bay, a small number of drives can provide significant raw capacity. RAID overhead, rebuild strategy and spare-drive availability should be considered alongside headline capacity.

Euroland IT Store can help cross-reference P49341-001 and source appropriate New or Refurbished HPE enterprise SSD stock where available.

Assembly Records after Field Replacement

When a drive is replaced in the field, updating the asset record with the new assembly number gives future technicians a current view. This is particularly useful in Multi Vendor families where the underlying qualified model may differ from the drive originally installed.

Why the Assembly Is Valuable in Dense Flash Arrays

When several identical-capacity drives are installed, a detailed assembly record can make future maintenance more predictable. P49341-001 identifies the HPE assembly family rather than merely saying “6.4TB SAS”. If a drive later fails, the service team can compare the installed assembly with spare P49751-001 and the server’s supported parts information before ordering replacement media.

Capacity Growth versus Platform Refresh

A 6.4TB drive can provide a major capacity increase over older 1.6TB media, but moving to this family may also mean moving to Basic Carrier and 24G SAS. In an older server, that can turn a simple capacity project into a broader platform decision. In a compatible newer server, the same characteristics can make the drive a natural high-density storage option.

Basic Carrier Is Part of the Assembly

The carrier should be treated as part of the product rather than packaging. It determines how the SSD is presented to the compatible server bay and distinguishes this family from earlier Smart Carrier drives. When P49341-001 is sourced as a replacement, preserving the documented Basic Carrier context helps avoid a situation where the correct capacity and interface arrive in the wrong physical server-ready format.

Use the Assembly to Reconcile Supplier Listings

Enterprise parts suppliers may advertise the same HPE drive family under option, spare or assembly numbers. P49341-001 gives buyers another reliable cross-reference when comparing listings. This can be particularly useful for international sourcing and Refurbished stock, where original retail packaging may not accompany the drive.
