HPE 826690-B21 – DL38X Gen10 Premium 6SFF SAS/SATA + 2 NVMe Drive Cage Kit
Overview
The HPE 826690-B21 is a hybrid drive cage and backplane kit designed for HPE ProLiant DL38X Gen10 server platforms. It provides internal storage expansion with support for both traditional SAS/SATA drives and high-speed NVMe drives within the same chassis configuration.
It is used in enterprise environments where mixed storage performance tiers are required, combining high-capacity SAS/SATA storage with low-latency NVMe acceleration. This allows optimized performance for virtualization, databases, and high-I/O workloads.
The kit is installed inside compatible DL38X Gen10 servers as part of the internal storage subsystem. It expands front drive bay capacity while maintaining proper connectivity and airflow design within the server chassis.
It is commonly deployed in modern data center infrastructures requiring flexible and scalable hybrid storage architectures.
Typical Deployment Scenarios
Used in HPE ProLiant DL380/DL385 Gen10 and DL38X Gen10 servers for hybrid storage configurations. Common in virtualization clusters, database systems, caching workloads, and enterprise applications requiring a mix of NVMe speed and SAS/SATA capacity.
