Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between P04119-001 and P03691-B21?

Both are HPE 960GB SATA 6Gb/s Mixed Use Digitally Signed SSDs with 3.5-inch Smart Carrier Converter for LFF server bays — functionally identical. P04119-001 is the HPE factory/OEM (-001) variant, while P03691-B21 is the standard HPE option kit (-B21). Both are fully interchangeable in supported HPE ProLiant LFF bay servers.

What is the difference between P04119-001 (Mixed Use) and P05313-001 (Read Intensive) at 960GB?

Both are HPE 960GB SATA 6Gb/s Digitally Signed SSDs, but P04119-001 is in 3.5-inch LFF Smart Carrier Converter for LFF bays with Mixed Use endurance (~1-3 DWPD), while P05313-001 is in 2.5-inch SFF Smart Carrier for SFF bays with Read Intensive endurance (~1 DWPD). Select based on your server's bay form factor and workload write intensity.

Can the 3.5-inch Smart Carrier Converter SSD be used in rack servers without LFF bays?

No — the 3.5-inch Smart Carrier Converter is specifically designed for 3.5-inch LFF drive bays. It cannot be installed in 2.5-inch SFF drive bays. For servers with SFF bays, use 2.5-inch SSD variants (P05313-001 for Gen8-Gen10 or P41523-001 for Gen10+/Gen11). The Smart Carrier Converter allows 2.5-inch SSD technology to be deployed in LFF-only server configurations.

The HPE P04119-001 delivers 960GB of SATA 6Gb/s Mixed Use SSD capacity with Digitally Signed Firmware and 3.5-inch Smart Carrier Converter as the OEM factory variant of P03691-B21 — enabling Mixed Use SSD deployment in HPE ProLiant servers with LFF-only drive bays, providing balanced read/write performance and hot-swap convenience for virtualization, database, and mixed workload applications.
