Description
HPE P4800X 375 GB Solid State Drive - 2.5" Internal - U.2 (PCI Express NVMe 3.0) - Write Intensive
Designed for enterprise-grade performance and reliability, the HPE P4800X 375 GB SSD delivers ultrafast access to data in data centers, cloud environments, and virtualization infrastructures. Built to handle write-intensive workloads, this 2.5-inch U.2 drive utilizes PCIe NVMe 3.0 to minimize latency, maximize IOPS, and sustain consistent throughput under heavy I/O pressure. It’s the ideal storage acceleration for analytics, databases, BI, and AI-driven workloads, helping businesses achieve faster insights and improved service levels.
- The HPE P4800X 375 GB solid-state drive is engineered for high performance with a PCIe Express NVMe 3.0 interface. This advanced interface provides dramatically lower latency and higher IOPS compared to traditional SATA or SAS SSDs, enabling rapid response times for OLTP databases, real-time analytics, and virtualization environments. With a dedicated 375 GB capacity, you gain fast, locally stored data for frequently accessed workloads, helping to reduce bottlenecks and improve overall application throughput.
- Reliability and endurance are core to this write-intensive NVMe drive. It is designed to sustain continuous, heavy write workloads typical of mixed-use enterprise applications. In data centers, where uptime and predictability matter, the P4800X delivers consistent performance over long duty cycles, helping organizations meet strict service level agreements and maintain high availability for mission-critical workloads.
- Versatility meets enterprise-grade architecture. The 2.5" U.2 form factor is widely compatible with modern storage backplanes, server backplanes, and PCIe/NVMe-ready infrastructure. This enables straightforward integration into HPE servers and compatible storage configurations, supporting virtualization, cloud services, big data analytics, and database acceleration without requiring a complete system redesign.
- Optimized for mixed-use workloads, the P4800X is positioned to handle a variety of enterprise tasks—from data warehousing and BI reporting to large-scale virtualization and in-memory databases. Its NVMe MU (Mixed Use) firmware profile emphasizes balanced performance across sequential and random operations, ensuring responsive analytics, fast data ingestion, and smooth multi-tenant virtualization experiences in busy data centers.
- Energy efficiency and thermal stability help data centers manage operating costs and maintain consistent performance. The drive is designed to operate within standard data-center cooling and power environments, minimizing thermal throttling and sustaining stable throughput during prolonged workloads. This contributes to lower total cost of ownership while maintaining peak drive performance when it matters most.
