1.6 TB SAS enterprise SSD

The HPE P49049-B21 is a 1.6 TB solid-state drive built for 24 Gbps SAS interfaces. It uses a 2.5 inch form factor and targets mixed-use workloads in compatible HPE server platforms.

Sustained mixed-use endurance

The drive is rated for mixed-use operation, meaning it balances read and write cycles over long periods without the steep drop-off seen in burst-oriented media. HPE Smart SSD Wear Gauge integration lets administrators track remaining life through standard management tools.

Replaces rotating media in HPE servers

This SSD replaces traditional rotating drives in supported HPE infrastructure, delivering lower latency and reduced power draw. The upgrade is worth it when existing bays support 24 Gbps SAS and the workload demands consistent IOPs rather than archival capacity.

Highlights

  • 6 TB capacity supports large datasets
  • 24 Gbps SAS interface enables fast data transfer
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard drive bays
  • Mixed-use design handles read and write workloads
  • HPE Smart SSD Wear Gauge monitors drive health

Questions about this item

How much power does the 24Gbps SAS SSD draw during sustained mixed-use workloads?

The drive is designed to reduce power consumption compared with traditional rotating media while delivering high random read and write IOPS.

What server infrastructure is required for the 2.5" SAS drive to operate?

It fits into existing HPE server infrastructure that accepts 2.5-inch SAS drives.

Can the 24Gbps SAS SSD share a backplane with older SAS drives in the same HPE server?

The 24Gbps SAS interface is backward-compatible with earlier SAS generations on supported HPE backplanes.
