P40504-B21 - HPE 1.92GB 6G SAS MU SFF BC MV SSD

HPE P40504-B21 — 1.92TB SATA 6G Mixed Use SFF BC Multi-Vendor SSD

What it is

P40504-B21 is an HPE enterprise SATA SSD for ProLiant/Synergy servers.
It’s a 1.92TB SATA 6Gb/s, Mixed Use (MU), 2.5" SFF drive that ships on an HPE Basic Carrier (BC) for hot-swap bays. “Multi-Vendor” means HPE may fulfill the SKU with equivalent approved SSD models, but the published performance/endurance class stays consistent.

Why buyers pick P40504-B21 (plain English)

• Balanced endurance for real workloads
  Mixed Use is the right tier when you have meaningful writes (VMs, apps, databases), but don’t need the cost of write-intensive SSDs.

• Big SATA capacity per bay
  1.92TB is a strong density step for SFF servers where you want lots of solid-state storage without moving to SAS/NVMe pricing.

• Drop-in hot-swap simplicity
  Pre-mounted in the HPE carrier so it slides straight into Gen10+/Gen11 SFF slots.

• Stable long-term sourcing
  Multi-Vendor keeps supply steady as NAND/drive models rotate.

Where it fits (and when to choose something else)

Perfect for:

• ProLiant/Synergy servers with SFF hot-swap bays

• Virtualization clusters and mixed enterprise workloads

• Capacity upgrades from smaller SATA MU SSDs

Choose something else if:

• You’re mostly boot/read-heavy → a Read Intensive (RI) SATA SSD is cheaper

• You’re write-heavy → go Write Intensive (WI)

• You want higher throughput/latency → step up to SAS 12G or NVMe SSDs

TL;DR

P40504-B21 is HPE’s 1.92TB SATA 6G Mixed-Use SFF SSD on Basic Carrier: a hot-swap, enterprise-qualified SATA drive with balanced endurance for virtualization and general server workloads.
