HPE 240 GB SATA Server SSD

The HPE 875503-B21 is a 240 GB solid-state drive built for server environments that require reliable read performance. It uses a SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface and a 2.5 inch form factor to fit standard drive bays. The drive is hot-pluggable, allowing replacement without powering down the system. It is suited for administrators who need affordable flash storage for boot volumes or light application workloads.

Enterprise build with hot-plug tray

The drive ships in a carrier designed for tool-less insertion into compatible HPE server bays. Hot-plug support means a failed unit can be swapped while the array stays online, reducing downtime. SATA 600 connectivity provides broad compatibility with existing backplanes and RAID controllers. No additional mounting hardware is required for supported platforms.

Replaces mechanical boot drives

Moving from a spinning disk to this SSD cuts boot times and improves responsiveness for OS partitions. The 240 GB capacity covers typical hypervisor or OS images with room for logs. The upgrade is worth it when reliability and faster metadata access matter more than raw capacity. Buyers who need larger data volumes or write-intensive endurance should look at higher-capacity or mixed-use models.

Questions about this item

What real-world throughput does the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface cap at for the 875503-B21?

The SATA 6.0Gb/s link tops out at 600 MB/s, so the 240 GB drive cannot exceed that transfer ceiling in practice.

What drive bay and hot-plug tray does the 2.5" 875503-B21 need to fit a server?

It requires a standard 2.5-inch hot-plug bay with the matching server tray; the drive slides straight into that carrier.

How is the 875503-B21 installed, and which step do people often miss?

Slide the drive into the hot-plug tray until the connector seats firmly, then lock the tray lever; skipping the lever lock leaves the drive loose.
