HP 481043-B21 – Slim SATA DVD‑RW Optical Drive

Overview :

The HP 481043-B21 is a slim SATA DVD‑RW optical drive designed for installation in HPE ProLiant rack servers and similar enterprise systems. It enables both reading from and writing to CD and DVD media, supporting standard and dual‑layer formats to facilitate backup/archive and OS installation workflows. This drive is intended for internal server chassis use—such as 1U/2U rack systems—where a low‑profile (slim) optical drive bay is available. The unit connects via a SATA interface and is compatible with a wide range of HPE ProLiant models (for example DL120 G5, DL180 G5, DL380 G6) as listed in HPE documentation. It integrates into server environments without requiring external mounting or special adapters, supporting standard optical media handling in data‑centre, branch office or lab‑deployment contexts.

Key Features :

  • Slim (12.7 mm) form‑factor for rack server bays

  • SATA connectivity interface (data and power via SATA)

  • Supports DVD+/-RW and CD‑RW media write capability

  • Compatible with HPE ProLiant DL and ML series servers

  • Capable of reading dual‑layer DVD (up to ~8.5 GB per side)
