Why choose it

Engineered for read-intensive applications, this SSD balances performance and endurance. With 876 TBW, it outlasts many consumer drives under constant read operations. The 3D TLC NAND provides a cost-effective mix of speed and reliability, while the SATA III interface ensures broad compatibility with existing server infrastructure. HPE's rigorous validation means it works seamlessly with ProLiant servers, reducing integration risks.

Ideal use cases

• Boot drives for virtualized environments
• Web server and content delivery caching
• Database read replicas and analytics
• High-frequency transaction logging
• Upgrading legacy HPE servers to SSD performance

Good to know

The drive comes with a Smart Carrier for easy identification and hot-swap capability. It is a genuine HPE part (MPN 868926-001), ensuring firmware compatibility and warranty support. Power consumption is modest at 3.2 W during active reads and 6.5 W during writes, helping to control energy costs in dense server deployments.
