SSD drive HPE 960 GB 2.5" Serial ATA III 878849-001

The HPE 960 GB 2.5" Serial ATA III SSD (MPN 878849-001) is an internal mixed-use solid state drive designed for servers and workstations. With 960 GB capacity, a 2.5" form factor and SATA III transfer rate (6 Gbit/s), this drive targets data-intensive applications that require balanced read and write performance, sustained IOPs and improved data access times. The drive incorporates HPE-integrated firmware for data protection, SMART carrier status indicators and compatibility with HPE SmartSSD wear-gauge monitoring.

Advantages

This SSD delivers high random read and write IOPS performance while maintaining endurance appropriate for mixed-use workloads. It supports full data-path error detection to help maintain data accuracy and is qualified through extensive HPE testing programs. The SMART carrier with self-describing icons simplifies drive status checks and a “do not remove” button helps prevent accidental removal and potential data loss. Power efficiency and a compact 2.5" form factor make it suitable for dense server environments.

Suitable for

• Big data analytics and data warehousing
• Cloud computing and virtualization hosts
• Database applications and transactional workloads
• Active archiving and mixed read/write server tasks

Key specifications

• Capacity: 960 GB
• Form factor: 2.5"
• Interface: Serial ATA III (SATA 6 Gbit/s)
• Use class: Mixed Use (MU) SSD — balanced read/write with endurance between <1 and <10 DWPD (typical for MU class)
• Management: HPE SmartSSD wear gauge compatibility; SMART carrier indicators
• Data protection: Full data-path error detection; HPE integrated firmware

How to use

Install the 2.5" SATA SSD into a compatible server or workstation bay or carrier according to the host system’s hardware instructions. Ensure the drive is secured in the HPE carrier so the SMART status icons and the “do not remove” feature function correctly. Connect to the SATA III port and verify detection in the system BIOS/UEFI or RAID controller utility. Use your operating system or management tools to format, partition and integrate the drive into your storage configuration; monitor wear and health via HPE management tools that support the SmartSSD wear gauge.

Usage recommendations

Use this HPE MU SATA SSD for workloads that require a balance of read and write performance and moderate endurance. For write-heavy or ultra-high-endurance needs, consider evaluating HPE drives with higher endurance ratings. Regularly monitor drive health and remaining life with HPE management tools and follow your organization’s backup procedures to prevent data loss.
