The HPE 960GB SATA 6G Read-Intensive SSD (P40498-B21) is a 2.5-inch enterprise solid-state drive designed for read-heavy workloads in HPE ProLiant Gen10 and Gen11 server environments. It delivers high sustained read performance with a 960 GB capacity, optimised for data centres that require fast access to frequently accessed information.
960 GB storage capacity provides ample room for operating systems, application binaries, and read-intensive databases in enterprise server deployments
SATA III 6Gb/s interface ensures broad compatibility with existing HPE ProLiant server backplanes and storage controllers
Proprietary 2.5" form factor with low profile (15 mm) fits standard HPE ProLiant Gen10 and Gen11 drive bays without adapter
Read-intensive endurance rating extends drive life under continuous read workloads typical of boot volumes, logs, and content delivery
Das zeichnet die HPE 960GB P40498-B21 aus
Unlike mixed-use or write-intensive SSDs, this drive is specifically tuned for read-dominant enterprise workloads. The proprietary HPE design integrates directly into HPE ProLiant server enclosures, and the SATA 6Gb/s interface avoids the complexity of NVMe while still delivering performance well above traditional spinning hard drives.
Ideal für...
IT administrators deploying HPE ProLiant Gen10 or Gen11 servers in data centre or edge environments where read-intensive storage is needed for operating system volumes, application hosting, or log storage. Suitable for workloads that prioritise sustained read throughput over write endurance.
