Product Features
Technical Overview
This HPE SSD features a 960 GB storage capacity with impressive random I/O performance metrics of 58,500 IOPS for 4KB reads and 29,000 IOPS for 4KB writes. The SATA/600 interface provides 6 Gb/s bandwidth for efficient data transfer between the drive and server controller.
The drive's read-intensive endurance profile supports 0.8 drive writes per day over its warranty period, making it ideal for workloads with high read-to-write ratios. The 2.5-inch small form factor with 7mm height allows installation in space-constrained server configurations while maintaining enterprise reliability standards.
Relevant factors for this section include Storage Capacity, Random 4KB Read, Random 4KB Write, Endurance (DWPD). When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.

Deployment / Use Cases
This 960 GB SATA SSD is designed for server storage applications where reliable performance and straightforward maintenance are priorities. The hot-pluggable feature allows IT administrators to replace drives in compatible servers without powering down the entire system, minimizing service interruptions.
Ideal deployment scenarios include database servers handling frequent queries, web servers delivering static content, and virtualization hosts running multiple virtual machines. The read-intensive endurance makes it particularly suitable for caching layers, log files, and application data where read operations dominate the I/O pattern.
Server Storage Expansion
Add capacity to existing HPE ProLiant servers with compatible 2.5-inch drive bays, leveraging the SATA interface for straightforward integration with server storage controllers.
Read-Intensive Workloads
Support applications with high read-to-write ratios, including content delivery networks, data analytics platforms, and virtual desktop infrastructure deployments.
Physical Profile
The drive measures 2.5 inches in width with a slim 7mm height profile, allowing installation in space-constrained server configurations. At approximately 1.10 pounds (500 grams), it maintains a lightweight footprint while delivering enterprise storage capacity. The included drive carrier facilitates secure mounting in compatible server bays, and the hot-pluggable design supports maintenance operations without system downtime.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 0.28" (7 mm), 1.10 lb (500 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
