SSD disk Hewlett Packard Enterprise 960GB SFF SAS RI P49733-001

The Hewlett Packard Enterprise 960GB SFF SAS RI SSD is a solid-state drive engineered for enterprise-class servers and storage arrays. With 960GB usable capacity in a small form factor (SFF) and a SAS host interface, this drive targets environments that require high throughput, low latency, and consistent I/O performance. The drive supports read-intensive workloads and is built to deliver predictable response times for databases, virtualization platforms, and mixed application stacks.

Advantages

This SSD provides fast data access and reduced latency compared with spinning media, improving transaction rates and application responsiveness. Its small form factor allows higher drive density in server bays and storage enclosures. The SAS interface ensures compatibility with enterprise controllers and multipath storage setups, while the drive’s design focuses on endurance and reliability suitable for sustained read-heavy operations.

Suitable for

• Database read-optimized workloads and data warehousing
• Virtual machine boot and read-cache acceleration
• High-density server deployments and blade chassis
• Storage tiers requiring low-latency, high-throughput reads

Key specifications

• Capacity: 960 GB usable storage
• Form factor: Small Form Factor (SFF) 2.5-inch
• Interface: Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
• Workload profile: Read-intensive (RI) optimized
• Performance focus: Low latency and high throughput for random and sequential reads
• Target environment: Enterprise server and storage systems

How to use

Install the drive into a compatible 2.5-inch SFF SAS bay or carrier following your server or storage array vendor instructions. Ensure firmware compatibility and that the host controller supports SAS drives and the read-intensive profile. Configure RAID or multipath as required by your storage architecture and perform a secure initialization or low-level format if your environment requires it. Monitor drive health and SMART attributes with your management tools to track endurance and performance over time.

Usage recommendations

Deploy this SSD where read performance and predictable latency are primary requirements. Use it as a cache, for boot volumes, or as part of a tiered storage strategy that separates read-intensive data onto faster media. Maintain current firmware and integrate with your existing monitoring systems to maximize reliability and service life.
