## Long description

The HPE 400GB 2.5" SAS SSD C8R20A is an internal solid state drive for servers and workstations, offering 400 GB of flash storage in a 2.5-inch form factor with a 6 Gbit/s SAS interface. Designed for deployment in HP ProLiant servers and compatible storage platforms, the drive targets applications that require high random read IOPS, reduced latency and improved system responsiveness compared with traditional rotating drives.
Advantages
This 2.5" SAS SSD delivers higher performance and lower latency than spinning hard drives, with lower power consumption under typical server workloads. Its enterprise-focused NAND technology and compatibility with HP server storage platforms make it suitable for hot-plug deployment in supported chassis and for improving overall storage efficiency and application responsiveness.
Suitable for
Enterprise servers and workstations requiring high random read IOPS
Databases and transaction-heavy applications
Virtualisation hosts and VM boot/storage volumes
Caches and tiered storage in server environments
When it may not be suitable
This SSD is intended for server and workstation environments with SAS controllers; it may not be suitable for consumer PCs that lack a compatible SAS interface or for applications where very large archival capacity at the lowest cost per gigabyte is the priority. For deployments that require SATA or NVMe connectivity, choose a drive with the appropriate interface.
