Frequently Asked Questions

Is P47840-B21 the recommended procurement SKU for new Gen10 Plus/Gen11 6.4TB NVMe U.3 builds?

Yes — P47840-B21 is the standard option kit and the recommended new-deployment procurement SKU for the 6.4TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4 mixed-use TLC U.3 SSD on Gen10 Plus/Gen11. P48219-001 is the regional/revision variant — fully interchangeable for both new deployments and field replacement.

Is there a Smart Carrier version of this 6.4TB PCIe 4.0 U.3 mixed-use SSD?

P47840-B21 and P48219-001 include Basic Carrier. For Smart Carrier LED monitoring capability, consult HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus/Gen11 QuickSpecs for the Smart Carrier variant part number of the 6.4TB PCIe 4.0 x4 mixed-use U.3 SSD. Smart Carrier provides front-panel drive activity and fault LED indicators.

Can P47840-B21 be used in U.2 backplane Gen9/Gen10 platforms?

No — P47840-B21 uses a U.3 connector and PCIe 4.0, validated for Gen10 Plus/Gen11 U.3 tri-mode backplanes. U.2 Gen9/Gen10 backplanes use PCIe 3.0 and the U.2 SFF-8639 connector. While U.3 and U.2 use the same physical SFF-8639 connector, PCIe 4.0 U.3 drives may not function correctly in PCIe 3.0 U.2-only backplanes — always verify with HPE Gen10 QuickSpecs before installation.

The HPE P47840-B21 6.4TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4 mixed-use mainstream TLC U.3 SSD option kit delivers maximum-capacity PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage for HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus and Gen11. Order today — in stock at the lowest price.
