Questions & Answers
What is the HPE 480GB SATA 6G Read Intensive SFF (2.5in) SC 3yr Warranty SSD (SKU: 764927-B21)?
The HPE 480GB SATA 6G Read Intensive SFF (2.5in) SC SSD is a server-grade solid-state drive optimized for read-heavy workloads, offering 480 GB capacity, SATA 6 Gb/s interface, 2.5-inch small form factor, and a three-year HPE warranty.
What are the sequential read and write performance specifications?
This SSD delivers up to 560 MB/s sequential read and 520 MB/s sequential write throughput over the SATA 6 Gb/s interface, ensuring fast data access and transfer in read-dominant applications.
What is the endurance rating and workload suitability?
Designed for read-intensive workloads, the drive supports up to 0.3 drive writes per day (DWPD) and a 1.5 PB total bytes written (TBW) rating over three years, ideal for boot, caching, and content-delivery environments.
Which servers and storage systems are compatible?
The SSD is fully compatible with HPE ProLiant, HPE Apollo, and HPE Synergy platforms, as well as select HPE storage arrays that support 2.5-inch SATA drives.
What form factor and connector does it use?
It uses a 2.5-inch small form factor with a standard 7 mm z-height and a 7+15 pin SATA data and power connector, fitting any server or chassis that supports 2.5-inch SATA SSDs.
What management features are supported?
The SSD supports SMART monitoring, TRIM, NCQ, and Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) capabilities, enabling proactive health monitoring and secure data erasure.
What is the mean time between failures (MTBF)?
The drive is rated for an MTBF of up to 2 million hours, delivering enterprise-grade reliability for critical workloads.
What power consumption can I expect?
Typical power draw is 2.8 W active and 0.5 W idle, minimizing energy costs and heat output in densely populated server environments.
