HPE DL38X Gen10 8SFF Drive Enclosure

This drive enclosure adds eight small-form-factor drive bays to a compatible HPE ProLiant DL38X Gen10 server. It is designed for businesses that need to expand local storage capacity inside a supported rack-mount chassis. The unit ships as a single packaged enclosure ready for installation.

Verify DL38X Gen10 chassis compatibility

Before ordering, confirm that your server model is a DL38X Gen10 variant that accepts the premium 8SFF front bay kit. Check the server’s technical quick-specs for the correct backplane and cabling requirements. Ensure the chassis has the necessary drive cage mounting points and power connections available.

Integrates into the server front panel

The enclosure mounts directly into the server’s front drive bay area and connects to the internal backplane for power and data. It frees internal expansion slots by consolidating up to eight drives in the hot-plug front zone. No additional rack space is consumed beyond the host server.

Questions about this item

Does the HPE 826690-B21 drive enclosure ship with any hard drives or must I purchase them separately?

The enclosure supports up to eight small-form-factor drives and is sold as an empty bay, so all drives must be sourced separately.

The part number 826690-B21 lists eight supported drives — is that the only capacity option available?

This specific model is built for eight SFF bays; other capacities would carry a different part number.

When the enclosure is installed in a DL38X Gen10 server, what does the eight-drive limit mean for usable storage?

It provides eight hot-plug SFF slots, so the total raw capacity equals the sum of the eight drives you install.
