FAQs

Q: Which server is the P72316-B21 drive cage kit compatible with?
A: The HPE ProLiant Compute ML350 Gen12 8SFF x4 NVMe Drive Cage Kit (P72316-B21) is designed exclusively for the HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen12 tower server. It is not validated for earlier generations such as the ML350 Gen10 or Gen11.

Q: Does this cage support SAS or SATA drives in addition to NVMe?
A: No. This cage uses an x4 NVMe-only backplane and does not support SAS or SATA drives. If you require SAS/SATA/NVMe mixed drive support, you would need a Tri-Mode backplane kit instead.

Q: Are any additional cables or accessories required to use this drive cage?
A: Yes. The HPE Direct Attach NVMe Cable Kit (P72361-B21) is required to provide x4 NVMe connectivity between this cage and the server's controller. Controllers such as the HPE MR416i-p are also sold separately.

Q: How many NVMe drives can be installed in this cage?
A: This cage provides 8 x 2.5" SFF hot-plug NVMe drive bays, allowing you to significantly expand the NVMe storage capacity of your ML350 Gen12 server beyond its default configuration.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE P72316-B21 in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an authorised Australian B2B HPE reseller. The P72316-B21 is available in stock and ready to ship from our Australian warehouse for fast local dispatch.

Q: What workloads benefit from adding this x4 NVMe drive cage to the ML350 Gen12?
A: This cage is ideal for high-performance workloads that benefit from low-latency, high-throughput storage, including databases, virtualisation platforms, data analytics, and high-frequency transactional applications where NVMe performance is critical.
