About the HPE P21868-B21 - HPE 32GB microSD RAID 1 USB Boot Drive
An internal USB module with dual microSD slots, the HPE P21868-B21 is a dedicated boot drive solution engineered for HPE ProLiant Gen10 and Gen10 Plus servers. This 32GB RAID 1 microSD enablement kit provides mirrored storage redundancy, ensuring critical boot environments remain accessible even in the event of single-drive failure. Built as an internal USB component rather than an external device, it integrates seamlessly into ProLiant architecture without consuming external ports or requiring additional cabling—making it ideal for IT procurement teams and storage architects seeking compact, resilient boot infrastructure.
HPE has validated this module with full ProLiant Enablement Kit certification and comprehensive QuickSpecs documentation. The drive supports a broad range of operating systems and hypervisor images, including VMware ESXi, Microsoft Windows Server, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, all tested on HPE ProLiant Gen10 and Gen10 Plus platforms. iLO integration and HPE Intelligent Provisioning support enable remote management, automated deployment, and simplified monitoring within your existing HPE management framework. The RAID 1 architecture—mirroring data across both microSD slots—eliminates single points of failure in your boot path while maintaining the compact internal USB form factor. This is an essential component for organizations standardizing on ProLiant infrastructure that demand high availability and simplified operational management.
