This drive may not be suitable for write-intensive enterprise workloads that require high endurance levels beyond the specifications of a read-intensive drive. Additionally, it is designed for specific server and workstation hardware, so it may not be compatible with consumer-grade laptops or desktop systems that do not support the required enterprise interface standards.

Key specifications

• Capacity: 480 GB
• Form factor: 2.5-inch
• Interface: SATA 6 Gbit/s
• NAND type: TLC
• Read speed: up to 510 MB/s
• Write speed: up to 400 MB/s

How to use

To install the drive, ensure your server or workstation is powered down and disconnected from the power source. Insert the 2.5-inch drive into a compatible drive bay, ensuring the SATA connector is properly aligned and seated. Once installed, secure the drive according to your server chassis instructions. Upon booting the system, the drive should be recognized by the RAID controller or operating system, where it can be initialized and formatted for use as a storage volume.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify compatibility with your existing server or workstation drive cage.
• Confirm that your system supports the 2.5-inch SATA interface.
• Assess your workload requirements to ensure a read-intensive drive meets your endurance needs.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended to monitor the drive's health using the HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge tool. This allows you to track the lifespan of the SSD and proactively manage your storage infrastructure to prevent unexpected downtime.
