About the P40499-B21

P40499-B21 is HPE's mainstream 1.92TB read-intensive 2.5-inch SATA solid state drive in the Basic Carrier format designed for ProLiant Gen11 and Gen12 servers. It belongs to HPE's Multi Vendor program, which packages enterprise TLC flash drives such as the Samsung PM893 or Micron 5400 PRO under a unified HPE part number with identical firmware standards. Rated for roughly 0.8 drive writes per day, it serves as the entry-level flash workhorse for boot mirrors, read-focused web workloads, and general virtual machine storage where NVMe speeds are unnecessary.

Compatibility

This drive is compatible with small form factor backplanes across ProLiant Gen11 and Gen12 servers including the DL360 Gen11, DL380 Gen11, DL385 Gen11, and ML350 Gen11. It ships in the HPE Basic Carrier (BC), which physically does not latch into the older Smart Carrier (SC) backplanes of ProLiant Gen10 and Gen9 servers. The drive communicates over standard SATA 6Gb/s signaling and operates connected to an integrated SATA controller, an HPE Smart Array, or a tri-mode storage controller. The -B21 part is the customer option kit, while spare units carry number P41080-001 or P40499-001.

How to identify a genuine unit

A genuine P40499-B21 carries an HPE front label displaying the option part number, spare part number, and HPE digitally signed firmware code, alongside the original manufacturer's label from Samsung or Micron. When inspected inside iLO 6 under Storage, the drive is identified as an authentic HPE Multi Vendor SSD with official firmware rather than generic OEM retail firmware. Relabelled drives from the secondary market often exhibit misaligned adhesive labels or lack the HPE security logo printed on the carrier latch.

Buying used

When evaluating second-hand units, request SMART attributes or an iLO storage report verifying power-on hours and percentage of SSD life remaining. Because read-intensive SATA drives have lower write endurance than mixed-use alternatives, drives exhibiting more than 25 percent lifetime wear should be priced at a steep discount. Ensure the seller includes the original Gen11 Basic Carrier with functional status LEDs, as purchasing standalone carriers separately increases overall deployment costs.
