Frequently Asked Questions

Is this drive compatible with SAS 12Gb/s backplanes?

Yes — SAS 24Gb/s drives are backward compatible with SAS 12Gb/s backplanes, operating at 12Gb/s speeds.

What is a basic carrier vs. smart carrier?

The basic carrier provides standard hot-swap functionality. The smart carrier adds LED status indicators and additional drive health monitoring features — both are compatible with HPE server bays.

Can this drive be used in non-HPE servers?

The P41496-001 is HPE-validated and may require HPE-specific firmware for full functionality. Compatibility with non-HPE servers is not guaranteed.
