• Update firmware if an updated RI SSD firmware is available from HP/HPE or the storage controller vendor to maximize compatibility and reliability.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What workloads is the HPE 5400P 1.92 TB RI SSD best suited for?
  A: It is optimized for read-intensive workloads such as operating system boot volumes, swap space, and web services where quick read access and low latency are most beneficial.
• Q: What is the form factor and interface?

A: It uses a 2.5-inch internal form factor and a SATA III (SATA/600) interface for broad compatibility with many servers and storage controllers.
• Q: Is this drive compatible with HP/HPE servers?

A: Yes, it is designed to integrate with HPE server ecosystems and standard SATA-enabled controllers commonly used in data centers.
• Q: How does a Read Intensive SSD differ from a Write Intensive SSD?

A: Read Intensive drives prioritize read performance and efficiency for workloads with frequent data reads, while Write Intensive drives are tuned for higher sustained write workloads and endurance. RI drives are typically a cost-efficient choice for read-heavy environments.
• Q: What should I consider when integrating this SSD into an existing storage strategy?

A: Consider your workload mix (reads vs writes), existing controller compatibility, firmware support, and your upgrade path (e.g., boot drive replacement, OS drive, or tiered storage). Ensure you update firmware and follow your vendor’s deployment guidelines for optimal performance and reliability.
