P49047-B21, HPE SSD, 800GB/SAS 24G/SFF

The HPE P49047-B21 is an enterprise-class Mixed Use SAS SSD accessory designed for HPE servers and storage platforms that need reliable performance and strong endurance in 24x7 environments. This solid state drive uses a 12 Gb/s SAS interface, which is backward compatible with 6 Gb/s, making it easy to deploy in both new and existing infrastructures across Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America. With an 800 GB capacity, the P49047-B21 provides a practical balance between performance, lifespan, and cost, ideal for virtualization clusters, database servers, VDI, and critical business applications.

As a Small Form Factor (SFF 2.5-inch) drive with BC (Basic Carrier) hot-plug design, the P49047-B21 is built for quick replacement and non-stop service, reducing downtime during maintenance or expansion. The Mixed Use category means it is optimized for a blend of read and write operations, well suited for workloads that are more demanding than read-intensive tasks but do not require the extreme endurance of write-intensive drives. This gives distributors, SMB integrators, and end users a flexible option for mixed transactional and analytic workloads.

The HPE P49047-B21 belongs to the Multi Vendor SSD family, helping partners source consistent performance and firmware-validated drives while keeping procurement flexible. For distributors, the standardized SFF (2.5-inch) format and SAS interface simplify stocking and cross-region supply planning. For small and medium integrators, this SSD helps build compact, dense storage nodes that fit into existing 2.5-inch SAS backplanes without redesign. End users benefit from faster boot times, improved application response, and more predictable latency compared with traditional HDDs.

In data centers and enterprise networks that are evolving toward hybrid cloud and virtualized services, the P49047-B21 can be used as a primary data drive for active datasets or as a performance tier in tiered storage layouts. Its hot-plug capability allows online scaling of capacity or replacement of drives in RAID groups with minimal operational impact, which is essential for hosting, service providers, and internal IT teams managing mission-critical workloads. By combining 12 Gb/s SAS bandwidth, 800 GB Mixed Use capacity, and robust enterprise design, this HPE SSD offers a practical path to higher performance and better efficiency without complex migration or platform changes.
