HPE 480GB SATA 6G Read Intensive SFF BC SSD

The HPE P40497-B21 is a 480GB solid-state drive designed for environments where read-intensive workloads are common. It uses a SATA 6Gb/s interface and fits into any system that supports 2.5-inch small form factor drives, making it a versatile option for upgrading existing servers or storage arrays.

This SSD is ideal for tasks such as booting servers, managing web traffic, or running applications that require fast and reliable read access. It delivers up to 65,000 random read IOPS, ensuring quick data retrieval and smooth performance under heavy read demands. The write speed reaches up to 15,000 IOPS, which supports occasional write operations without compromising overall efficiency.

Built with endurance in mind, the drive is rated for 0.5 drive writes per day, which suits workloads where reads dominate but writes still occur regularly. The firmware is digitally signed, adding a layer of security to protect your data integrity. Additionally, the drive includes HPE’s SmartSSD Wear Gauge, a tool that helps monitor the health and lifespan of the SSD, so you can plan maintenance or replacements proactively.

It operates with low power consumption and maintains a cool temperature, which helps reduce energy costs and supports stable operation in dense server environments. The drive comes with an HPE Basic Carrier for easy installation and is compatible with HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus servers. A 3-year limited warranty provides peace of mind for long-term use.
