HPE 480GB SATA 6G Mixed Use SFF Smart Carrier PM897 SSD P47814-B21

Engineered for mixed-use workloads, the HPE PM897 SSD delivers balanced performance and endurance, making it a versatile choice for virtualized environments, databases, and cloud computing. Unlike read-intensive drives, this 480GB SATA SSD handles a higher proportion of write operations without compromising longevity, thanks to its 1 DWPD endurance rating. The 2.5-inch Small Form Factor with Smart Carrier enables hot-plug capability, simplifying maintenance in HPE ProLiant servers and storage systems.

Highlights

• 480GB storage capacity on 3D TLC NAND for reliable mixed-use performance
• SATA 6Gb/s interface ensures broad compatibility with existing server infrastructure
• Sequential reads up to 530 MB/s and writes up to 480 MB/s accelerate data access
• 70,000 random read IOPS and 30,000 random write IOPS for responsive applications
• Hot-plug Smart Carrier design allows drive replacement without downtime
• 2 million hours MTBF for dependable operation in 24/7 data centers

In daily use
