HPE 480GB SATA 6Gb/s Read Intensive 2,5-inch SSD met Smart Carrier P13658-S21

This HPE solid-state drive pairs a 480 GB capacity with a SATA 6Gb/s interface and a 2.5-inch small form factor, making it a straightforward upgrade for ProLiant Gen9, Gen10, and Gen10 Plus servers. The read-intensive endurance rating suits workloads where reads dominate, while digitally signed firmware and hot-plug support simplify deployment in managed environments.

Highlights

• 480 GB storage capacity for operating systems and read-heavy datasets
• SATA 6Gb/s interface with sequential reads up to 520 MB/s
• 2.5-inch SFF form factor with Smart Carrier for tool-less installation
• Read-intensive endurance: 1 DWPD for 5 years, 876 TBW
• Hot-plug capable for minimal downtime during service

In daily use

The drive delivers consistent performance for boot, web serving, and data warehousing. With 65,000 random read IOPS and 15,000 random write IOPS, it handles mixed workloads without the latency spikes of mechanical disks. Power draw stays around 3.5 W active, reducing cooling load in dense server chassis.
