Frequently Asked Questions

Is P49052-B21 the recommended option kit for new 3.2TB SAS 24Gb/s V-NAND mixed-use builds?

Yes — P49052-B21 is the standard option kit and the recommended new-deployment procurement SKU. P49748-001 is the spare/field-replacement designation. P49749-001 provides the same drive in Basic Carrier. For new Smart Carrier builds with LED visibility, P49052-B21 is the correct option kit.

How does the 3.2TB SAS 24Gb/s V-NAND TLC compare to the P26294-003 3.2TB SAS 24Gb/s TLC?

P49052-B21 uses Samsung V-NAND TLC — advanced vertical NAND with superior density and endurance characteristics. P26294-003 uses standard TLC NAND without the V-NAND designation. Samsung V-NAND TLC generally delivers better endurance, lower latency, and improved reliability vs. planar TLC at comparable capacities — making P49052-B21 the higher-performance choice for demanding mixed-use workloads.

Can P49052-B21 be used in Gen10 (non-Plus) servers?

P49052-B21 is validated for Gen10 Plus and Gen11. SAS 24Gb/s drives are backward compatible with SAS 12Gb/s Gen10 controllers at reduced SAS 12Gb/s speed. For Gen10 (non-Plus), verify SAS controller and backplane support for SAS 24Gb/s SSDs via HPE Gen10 QuickSpecs before installation.

The HPE P49052-B21 3.2TB SAS 24Gb/s mixed-use Samsung V-NAND TLC enterprise SSD option kit delivers high-capacity balanced flash for HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus and Gen11. Order today — in stock at a competitive price.
