HPE P27194-B21 – 8SFF Tri-Mode Drive Cage Kit
Overview
The HPE P27194-B21 is a server chassis drive cage kit designed for HPE ProLiant DL300 series platforms. It provides physical mounting and connectivity for up to eight 2.5-inch small form factor drives.
It supports tri-mode operation, allowing SAS, SATA, and NVMe U.3 drives to operate depending on the controller configuration. This enables flexible storage design in enterprise servers.
The kit is installed inside supported rack servers as part of the front storage subsystem. It connects to compatible HPE backplane and controller infrastructure for high-speed storage access.
It is typically used in enterprise data centers where scalable and mixed-protocol storage configurations are required.
Typical Deployment Scenarios
Used in ProLiant DL380 / DL385 Gen10 Plus and similar servers requiring flexible storage expansion. Common in virtualization platforms, database systems, and high-performance computing environments where NVMe and SAS/SATA mixing is needed.
