Frequently Asked Questions

Is P13829-001 interchangeable with P13674-B21, P11533-004, and MK006400KWWFK?

All four — P13829-001, P13674-B21, P11533-004, and MK006400KWWFK — are HPE 6.4TB NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 mixed-use U.2 SSDs with Smart Carrier. P13829-001 adds digitally signed firmware. Verify specific variant interchangeability with HPE ProLiant Gen9/Gen10 QuickSpecs before mixing in production NVMe configurations.

Can Gen9/Gen10 U.2 NVMe SSDs be used in Gen10 Plus or Gen11 servers?

Gen9/Gen10 validated U.2 NVMe SSDs may function in Gen10 Plus/Gen11 U.2 backplanes but are not HPE-validated for those platforms. For Gen10 Plus/Gen11, use HPE-validated Gen10 Plus/Gen11 U.2 or U.3 NVMe SSDs. Consult HPE QuickSpecs to confirm cross-generation compatibility before installation.

What is the difference between U.2 and U.3 NVMe form factors?

U.2 (SFF-8639) is the legacy 2.5-inch NVMe connector used in Gen9/Gen10 platforms supporting NVMe only. U.3 (SFF-8639 with tri-mode signaling) supports NVMe, SAS, and SATA on the same backplane — used in Gen10 Plus/Gen11 tri-mode deployments. U.2 drives are physically compatible with U.3 connectors but without tri-mode signaling benefits.
