HPE P26920-B21 2SFF SAS/SATA Primary/Secondary Drive Bay Kit
Overview
The HPE P26920-B21 is a 2-small-form-factor (2SFF) drive bay kit for the ProLiant DL380 Gen10 Plus, adding SAS or SATA storage expansion capacity without replacing the baseline backplane configuration. If your DL380 Gen10 Plus shipped with fewer populated bays than your storage workload demands — whether that's a dense surveillance NVR build, a database server needing additional spindles, or a virtualization host requiring more raw capacity — the P26920-B21 fills that gap at the server hardware level rather than pushing the load to an external shelf. Weighing 1.36 lb, it installs directly into the server chassis and supports both SAS and SATA drive interfaces, giving you flexibility to mix drive types based on performance and cost targets.
Compatibility
Designed specifically for the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 Plus (G10+) platform. This kit is position-specific — confirm whether your chassis requires a primary or secondary bay configuration before ordering, as the P26920-B21 covers both the primary and secondary installation slots for the 2SFF form factor. It is not compatible with DL380 Gen10 (non-Plus), DL380 Gen9, or other ProLiant families such as the DL360 or DL560; the Gen10 Plus chassis geometry and backplane connectors differ. Verify your server's existing backplane part number and bay population against HPE's QuickSpecs for the DL380 Gen10 Plus before purchasing to ensure slot availability.
Installation Notes
Installation requires an available 2SFF bay slot in the DL380 Gen10 Plus chassis. Both SAS and SATA drives are supported once the kit is seated — drive interface selection is determined by the drives you populate, not the kit itself. Country of origin spans multiple manufacturing sites (BR, CN, CZ, JP, MX, SG, US), consistent with HPE's global component supply chain for server accessories. No additional power cabling is typically required beyond what the standard chassis backplane provides, but confirm against your specific chassis revision's service guide before installation.
