Product Description

P40508-B21 HPE 3.84TB SAS 12G Read Intensive SFF BC Value SAS Multi Vendor SSD

High-Efficiency Enterprise Flash Storage for Read-Intensive Workloads

The HPE P40508-B21 is an enterprise-class Solid State Drive (SSD) meticulously engineered to deliver a superior balance of high capacity and rapid data access. With a substantial 3.84TB storage capacity, this drive is optimized for Read Intensive (RI) workloads, making it the ideal choice for applications such as boot/swap functions, web servers, and read-heavy data warehousing. By transitioning from traditional spinning media to this flash-based solution, organizations can achieve significantly higher IOPS and lower latency, ensuring that data-hungry applications maintain peak responsiveness even during peak operational hours.

Advanced Value SAS 12G Interface and Multi Vendor Flexibility

Utilizing the Value SAS 12Gb/s interface, the P40508-B21 provides a significant performance upgrade over standard SATA SSDs. Value SAS is designed to deliver enterprise-grade features—such as full-duplex communication and enhanced data integrity—at a price point competitive with SATA. The Multi Vendor (MV) designation indicates that HPE has qualified multiple tier-1 NAND suppliers to provide the internal components of this drive, ensuring consistent performance specifications and streamlined supply chain availability. This model is equipped with the Basic Carrier (BC), specifically designed for mechanical and thermal compatibility with the latest HPE ProLiant Gen11 and Gen10 Plus server platforms.

Enterprise Security and Optimized Power Management

Data security is integrated into the core of the HPE P40508-B21. It features Digitally Signed Firmware, which protects your infrastructure by ensuring that all firmware updates are authentic and have not been altered by unauthorized parties. Additionally, as an SSD, this unit offers exceptional power efficiency and a lower thermal footprint compared to traditional high-capacity hard drives. This leads to a reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by lowering both energy consumption and data center cooling requirements. Each drive is backed by a 3-year limited warranty, providing the long-term reliability and support required for modern, mission-critical digital environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary advantage of "Value SAS" over standard SATA?

Value SAS drives like the P40508-B21 offer better reliability and performance features (such as 12Gb/s speeds and dual-port capability) than SATA SSDs, while remaining significantly more affordable than traditional "Enterprise SAS" drives.

Is the P40508-B21 compatible with HPE ProLiant Gen10 (Non-Plus) servers?

No. This SSD uses the Basic Carrier (BC), which is the physical caddy designed for Gen11 and Gen10 Plus servers. It is not physically compatible with the Smart Carrier (SC) slots found in standard Gen10 or Gen9 servers.

How is the SSD protected during international shipping?

Every unit is sealed in an anti-static (ESD) moisture-barrier bag and cushioned with custom-molded high-density foam. We utilize heavy-duty outer cartons to ensure the drive is shielded from physical impact and static discharge throughout the shipping process.

What are the shipping methods and estimated delivery times?

We offer expedited global shipping via DHL, FedEx, and UPS. In-stock orders are processed within 24-48 hours, with typical international transit times ranging from 3 to 5 business days depending on the destination and customs clearance.
