Frequently Asked Questions

Is P49046-B21 the recommended option kit for new 800GB SAS 24Gb/s V-NAND mixed-use builds?

Yes — P49046-B21 is the standard option kit and the recommended new-deployment procurement SKU for the 800GB SAS 24Gb/s mixed-use Samsung V-NAND TLC enterprise SSD on Gen10 Plus/Gen11. P49744-001 is the spare/field-replacement designation — fully interchangeable in supported configurations.

How does Samsung V-NAND TLC at 800GB compare to the P42498-001 960GB SAS 24Gb/s V-NAND read-intensive SSD?

P49046-B21 is mixed-use (~3 DWPD) optimized for balanced read/write database and virtualization workloads. P42498-001 is read-intensive (~1 DWPD) optimized for high-read workloads at 960GB. Choose P49046-B21 when sustained write endurance is required; P42498-001 when maximum read capacity at lower write intensity is the priority.

Can P49046-B21 be mixed with P49744-001 in the same RAID group?

P49046-B21 and P49744-001 are identical 800GB SAS 24Gb/s mixed-use Samsung V-NAND TLC drives — mixing them in the same RAID group is supported as they are fully interchangeable hardware. Always verify RAID group drive consistency with HPE Smart Array and consult HPE support before mixing part numbers in production RAID configurations.
