Sourced for enterprise IT teams managing HP / HPE ProLiant DL360, DL380, ML350 and BL series platforms, the HP Q8H50A (Q8H50A - HP 2.88TB FIO Cache Bundle for Nimble Storage Adaptive Flash HF40 R2 Base Array) is a Memory component matched to OEM specifications. Each unit is verified against manufacturer datasheet revisions and is appropriate for new-build, expansion, or warranty-replacement procurement. Technical specifications include capacity of 2.88 TB. Appropriate for virtualization hosts, application servers, in-memory analytics, render farms, CAD/EDA workstations, and any workload constrained by RAM rather than CPU. Our procurement team maintains active inventory of the Q8H50A and verifies condition, firmware revision, and OEM part-number registry alignment for each unit prior to sale. Listed compatibility: Nimble Storage Adaptive. Cross-verify against the OEM compatibility matrix before deployment for production workloads. Stocked units ship same-day on in-stock orders placed before 3pm ET. Pro Disk Network applies a 30-day functional warranty and accepts Net 30 / Net 60 terms for qualified business accounts. Free US ground shipping on orders over $150; same-day expedited (UPS Next Day Air, FedEx Priority) available at checkout.

Quick Answer: What servers is the Q8H50A compatible with?
The Q8H50A is a HP memory module. Confirm DIMM rank, voltage, and speed against the target server's supported memory list before deployment - mixed configurations may downclock to the slowest installed module. For server-specific population diagrams, email sales@prodisknetwork.com with your server serial number.
How fast does the Q8H50A ship?
If in stock, the Q8H50A ships same business day on US orders placed before 2 pm ET. Most US ZIP codes receive next-business-day or 2-day delivery via FedEx/UPS Ground or Express. Bulk and project orders shipping in pallets are typically dispatched within 24-48 hours.
The Q8H50A is deployed by US enterprises, MSPs, government, and education customers across multiple infrastructure scenarios. Below are the most common deployment patterns Pro Disk Network sees in real-world orders.
VMware Cluster Memory — Per-host memory expansion for vSphere ESXi hosts. Match DIMM rank and speed across all sockets to keep memory channels balanced.
In-Memory Database — SAP HANA, Redis Enterprise, Apache Ignite, Aerospike — workloads that scale linearly with DRAM capacity.
Hyper-V Cluster Node — Windows Server 2019/2022 Hyper-V hosts with Storage Spaces Direct. Dynamic memory allocation makes higher-density DIMMs cost-effective.
AI / ML Training — PyTorch and TensorFlow workloads benefit from large host memory pools for dataset preprocessing and CPU-side feature engineering.
New, Bulk, or Refurbished — Choosing Your Tier

Frequently Asked Questions about Q8H50A
Is the Q8H50A a genuine HP part?
Yes. Pro Disk Network sources every Q8H50A as factory-original HP inventory verified against the manufacturer parts registry before listing. New units arrive sealed in OEM packaging; refurbished units are pulled from decommissioned HP servers, surface-tested, and re-warranted by Pro Disk Network for 12 months.
What servers is the Q8H50A compatible with?
The Q8H50A is a HP memory module. Confirm DIMM rank, voltage, and speed against the target server's supported memory list before deployment - mixed configurations may downclock to the slowest installed module. For server-specific population diagrams, email sales@prodisknetwork.com with your server serial number.

If in stock, the Q8H50A ships same business day on US orders placed before 2 pm ET. Most US ZIP codes receive next-business-day or 2-day delivery via FedEx/UPS Ground or Express. Bulk and project orders shipping in pallets are typically dispatched within 24-48 hours.
What is the warranty on the Q8H50A?
New Q8H50A units carry the full HP manufacturer warranty (typically 1 to 5 years depending on product line). Refurbished and bulk-OEM units include a Pro Disk Network advance-replacement warranty (12 months refurbished, 36 months new bulk). DOA replacement is free within 30 days of receipt.
Do you offer bulk pricing for the Q8H50A?
Yes. Pro Disk Network offers automatic volume discounts at 10, 25, 50, and 100+ unit tiers. Net 30 terms are available for verified businesses, government, and education buyers. Email sales@prodisknetwork.com with the quantity and target ship date for a quote within one business day.
Compatibility: Rank, Density, and Channel Population Rules
For server memory, three numbers dominate compatibility: rank, density, and channel population. Mixing rank or density in the same channel forces the memory controller to fall back to the lowest-common-denominator speed and timings, sometimes by 200-400 MHz, which wastes the upgrade you just paid for. Before installing the Q8H50A, run the platform's memory configuration utility (Dell DSET, HPE iLO Memory tab, Lenovo XCC Memory page) to identify what's already populated.
Pricing Strategy: New, Bulk, or Refurbished
For production tier-1 databases (SAP HANA, Oracle Exadata-equivalent, SQL Server Always On), use new sealed OEM units only. For VDI hosts, hyperconverged clusters, and general-purpose virtualisation, bulk-OEM is the cost-optimal choice. For development environments, lab gear, and capacity expansion on aging hardware, refurbished is appropriate — the price savings are 60-75% versus new.
