P49047-B21 - HPE 800GB SAS 24G MU SFF BC MV SSD

HPE P49047-B21 — 800GB SAS 24G Mixed Use SFF BC Multi-Vendor SSD

What it is

P49047-B21 is an HPE enterprise server SSD.
It’s an 800GB 2.5" SFF SAS solid-state drive running on 24Gb/s SAS, rated Mixed Use (MU), and shipped in an HPE Basic Carrier (BC) for hot-swap ProLiant/Synergy bays. “Multi-Vendor” means HPE may source equivalent approved SSD models over time, but the performance and endurance class stays consistent.

Why buyers pick P49047-B21 (plain English)

• Fast SAS performance for real mixed workloads
  MU SSDs are made for environments that read and write a lot (virtualization, databases, log-heavy apps).

• 24G SAS bandwidth + dual-port reliability
  Higher throughput than 12G SAS and a better HA story than SATA.

• Hot-swap drop-in simplicity
  Comes pre-mounted in the HPE carrier, so it slides straight into SFF bays.

• Stable SKU over time
  Multi-Vendor sourcing keeps supply available even when underlying NAND models change.

Where it fits (and when to choose something else)

Perfect for:

• ProLiant/Synergy servers with SFF hot-swap bays

• Mixed workloads needing balanced endurance + SAS reliability

• Refreshing older 10K/15K SAS HDD tiers with consistent SSD performance

Choose something else if:

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

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

• You need the lowest latency possible → step up to NVMe SSDs
