Frequently Asked Questions

What is M.2 22110 and how does it differ from M.2 2280?

M.2 22110 is 22mm wide and 110mm long — longer than the common M.2 2280 (80mm). Server-grade M.2 22110 drives are used in enterprise platforms for higher capacity and thermal headroom. Ensure your ProLiant server or M.2 carrier supports the 110mm length before installation.

Is P24188-B21 interchangeable with P24886-001?

Yes — P24188-B21 is the option kit and P24886-001 is the spare part. Both are HPE 480GB NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 mainstream read-intensive M.2 22110 SSDs with identical specifications — fully interchangeable in supported Gen10 Plus and Gen11 M.2 configurations.

Can P24188-B21 be used as a primary data drive or only for OS boot?

P24188-B21 can be used for OS boot, hypervisor installation, caching, or small-capacity NVMe data storage. At 480GB read-intensive capacity, it is best suited for OS, hypervisor, and read-dominant caching roles. For primary data workloads requiring higher endurance, a mixed-use M.2 NVMe SSD is recommended.

The HPE P24188-B21 480GB NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 22110 read-intensive SSD option kit delivers efficient OS boot and caching storage for HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus and Gen11. Order today — in stock at the lowest price.
