HPE 480GB SATA 6G MU SFF SC 2.5" MV SSD Hynix SE5031 Series MK000480GWXFF P18432-B21 P18477-001

The HPE P18432-B21 / P18477-001 is a 480GB SATA 6Gb/s Mixed Use (MU) Enterprise Solid State Drive designed for HPE ProLiant servers and enterprise storage environments. Built on the proven SK Hynix SE5031 enterprise SSD platform, this drive delivers dependable performance, enterprise-grade endurance, and seamless HPE firmware integration for virtualization, database, cloud, RAID, and business-critical workloads.

This model is classified as a Multi-Vendor (MV) SSD, meaning HPE may supply the drive from approved manufacturing partners while maintaining identical HPE specifications, firmware requirements, compatibility standards, and performance expectations. The included drive in this configuration is based on the SK Hynix SE5031 Series platform.

Featuring HPE Digitally Signed Firmware (DS), the drive provides secure firmware validation, enhanced system compatibility, and support for HPE drive health monitoring tools. Utilizing 3D TLC NAND flash memory, the SSD is optimized for balanced read/write activity, making it ideal for mixed-use enterprise applications.

This configuration includes an HPE Smart Carrier (SC) for direct installation into compatible HPE ProLiant Gen8, Gen9, and Gen10 systems utilizing 2.5-inch Small Form Factor hot-swap drive bays. The Smart Carrier provides integrated status LEDs and support for HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge monitoring.

The underlying SK Hynix SE5031 SSD is electrically compatible with newer HPE server generations. However, Gen10 Plus, Gen11, and Gen12 platforms utilize the newer Basic Carrier (BC) architecture. The SSD can be transferred from the included Smart Carrier into a compatible Basic Carrier for deployment in newer systems where supported.

When removed from the included HPE Smart Carrier, the drive functions as a standard 2.5-inch 7mm SATA enterprise SSD and may be used in supported:

• Dell PowerEdge Servers
• Lenovo ThinkSystem Servers
• Supermicro Platforms
• Enterprise Storage Arrays
• Custom SATA-Based Systems

Some third-party management controllers may identify the drive as a non-certified component due to the HPE firmware signature, but normal storage operation remains unaffected.
