HPE 3.84TB SATA 6G Read Intensive SFF SC SSD (P04570-B21) – 2.5″ Hot-Plug for ProLiant

Maximum SATA flash capacity per bay for read-heavy ProLiant workloads.

The HPE P04570-B21 is a 3.84TB SATA 6Gb/s Read Intensive SSD in a small form factor Smart Carrier for ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 servers. Its high capacity and HPE qualification make it ideal for consolidating VM datastores, content repositories and analytics data onto fast, hot-plug flash.

Replacing Multiple Hard Drives With One HPE SSD

Large read-heavy datasets often occupy many spinning drives, consuming bays, power and cooling while still limiting performance.

With 3.84TB per drive, the P04570-B21 consolidates that data onto fewer HPE-qualified SSDs, improving response times and freeing bays for future growth.

High-Capacity Read-Intensive Flash

Read-optimized SATA flash accelerates content delivery, VM datastores and analytics, while HPE firmware ensures accurate health reporting in iLO.

Pre-Mounted Carrier for Fast Hot-Plug Service

The Smart Carrier shows drive activity and a ‘do not remove’ warning, helping technicians avoid pulling an active drive and breaking an array. The drive arrives ready to slide into a compatible bay, reducing installation time and mistakes.

Setup Instructions

How to Install the HPE P04570-B21 SSD

1. Confirm your ProLiant model supports this drive and carrier type in the HPE QuickSpecs, and update the server firmware with the Service Pack for ProLiant.
2. Insert the drive into an empty SFF bay until the carrier latches; hot-plug is supported, so the server can stay powered on.
3. Open Smart Storage Administrator or the iLO storage page to confirm the drive is detected and healthy.
4. Create a new logical drive, add the SSD to an existing array, or use it as a replacement for a failed drive.
