Description

HPE 960 GB Solid State Drive - 2.5" Internal - SAS (12Gb/s SAS) - Read Intensive

Upgrade your enterprise storage with the HPE 960 GB SAS Read Intensive Solid State Drive, a high-performance 2.5-inch internal SSD designed to optimize data access, improve application responsiveness, and lower latency across read-heavy workloads. Built for reliability and efficiency in demanding data center environments, this drive combines compact form factor with a robust SAS 12Gb/s interface to deliver fast, dependable data access where it matters most. Whether you’re accelerating database reads, caching hot data for virtualization, or boosting the throughput of your storage arrays, this HPE SSD offers the resilience, non-volatile memory, and sustained performance needed to support today’s mission-critical workloads.

  • High-capacity, rapid data access: With 960 GB of storage, you gain ample space to store frequently accessed data and hot workloads. Paired with fast read performance, it minimizes latency for read-heavy operations and reduces bottlenecks in data-intensive environments.
  • 2.5-inch internal form factor: This SSD is designed for seamless integration into standard 2.5" drive bays, servers, and storage enclosures. Its compact size makes it easy to deploy across a wide range of rack-mounted systems without requiring custom enclosures or adapters.
  • SAS 12Gb/s interface: The high-speed SAS backplane support enables efficient data transfer between the drive and the host system. The 12Gb/s interface helps to sustain higher I/O operations per second (IOPS) and reduces queue depths, contributing to smoother performance under load.
  • Read Intensive endurance: Optimized for sustained read workloads, this SSD delivers consistent performance with reduced wear from write operations. It’s ideal for databases, read caches, and media streaming where reads dominate the workload profile.
  • Non-volatile memory for reliable data access: The drive uses non-volatile memory to preserve data between power cycles, ensuring quick recovery and minimal risk of data loss in the event of power interruptions or system faults.

How to Install HPE 960 GB Solid State Drive

Installing this HPE SSD is straightforward in compatible servers and storage systems equipped with SAS backplanes. Follow these steps to ensure a safe, proper installation that preserves data integrity and performance:

  • Power down the host system and disconnect from power to prevent any electrical hazards or data loss during installation.
  • Open the server chassis and locate an available 2.5" drive bay or replace an existing drive with the HPE SSD using the same drive tray and mounting mechanism.
  • Insert the 960 GB SAS SSD into a compatible drive tray, align it with the backplane connectors, and secure the drive firmly with screws or the tray’s latch mechanism as required by your chassis.
  • Connect the SAS data and power backplane cables to the drive tray or backplane, ensuring a snug and stable connection to support reliable data transfer at 12Gb/s speeds.
  • Reassemble the chassis, power on the system, and enter the server’s BIOS or RAID/controller configuration utility. Confirm that the new SSD is detected and initialize or configure it according to your storage policies (e.g., add to a RAID array, assign a drive letter, or configure as a cache tier).
