About the HPE P49049-B21 - HPE 1.6TB SAS 24G Mixed Use SFF BC Multi Vendor SSD
For mixed-workload primary storage tiers, the HPE P49049-B21 delivers enterprise-class reliability in a compact 2.5-inch SFF form factor. This 1.6TB SAS 24Gb/s SSD combines dual-port connectivity with backward compatibility to SAS 12Gb/s infrastructure, ensuring seamless integration into existing HPE ProLiant Gen10 and Gen10 Plus server environments as well as HPE MSA storage arrays. The drive's Mixed Use classification makes it equally suited to read-intensive cache operations, write-intensive logging, and balanced primary workload deployments where storage architects and IT procurement teams require flexibility without sacrificing performance or data integrity.
Built on HPE's proven architecture, the P49049-B21 incorporates advanced data protection mechanisms including End-to-End Data Path Protection with T10 PI support and capacitor-backed power-loss protection—critical safeguards for mission-critical applications. The drive supports both SED (Self-Encrypting Drive) configurations with FIPS 140-2 certification and non-SED variants within the product family, catering to regulated environments and unencrypted deployments alike. Operating reliably across the 0°C to 70°C temperature range and validated against HPE QuickSpecs standards, this SSD delivers sector flexibility through 512e and 4Kn Advanced Format support. Hot-plug capability further reduces planned maintenance windows in virtualized and cloud-native infrastructures. Part number P49049-B21 combines enterprise durability with the density advantages of small form factor storage.
Enterprise Deployment Scenarios
- HPE ProLiant Gen10 and Gen10 Plus server pools requiring mixed-use SSD capacity for transactional databases and real-time analytics
