Know before you buy
This drive is optimized for read-intensive tasks where data is accessed frequently but updated less often. It is an ideal choice for boot and swap operations, web servers, and read-caching applications.
This is a 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) drive. It is designed specifically for compatibility with HPE ProLiant servers and storage platforms that support this standard form factor.
DWPD stands for Drive Writes Per Day. A rating of 0.8 means you can overwrite up to 80% of the drive's total capacity every single day for the duration of its warranty period without exceeding its expected lifespan.
You can use the HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge feature. This tool monitors the drive's NAND flash usage and provides data to help you predict potential failures before they occur.
Digitally Signed Firmware ensures that only authentic, HPE-verified code can run on the drive. This prevents unauthorized or malicious firmware from being installed, which protects your data from tampering.
Yes. Because it uses NAND Flash technology rather than moving mechanical parts, this SSD consumes significantly less power—approximately 3.53 Watts—while providing faster data access and lower latency.
