Why choose it

This HPE enterprise SSD is engineered for high-performance, read-intensive applications. With PCIe Gen4 x4 interface, it offers exceptional throughput and low latency, making it ideal for boot drives, application acceleration, and data warehousing. The drive supports HPE Smart Carrier for easy hot-plug replacement and includes HPE digitally signed firmware for enhanced security and reliability.

Ideal use cases

• Enterprise servers (HPE ProLiant Gen10+/Gen11)
• Virtualization and cloud infrastructure
• Database management and online transaction processing (OLTP)
• Data analytics and big data workloads
• Boot and application acceleration

Good to know

This drive uses the U.3 connector, which is backward compatible with U.2 backplanes, offering flexibility in deployment. It is a non-SED (Self-Encrypting Drive) model, so if hardware-level encryption is required, consider SED variants. The 1 DWPD endurance rating suits read-heavy workloads; for mixed or write-intensive use, consider higher endurance models.
