SSD disk Hewlett Packard Enterprise 480GB 2.5 inch SATA 6Gb/s P02761-002

The Hewlett Packard Enterprise SSD 480GB 2.5 inch SATA 6Gb/s is a solid-state drive designed for mixed-use applications in enterprise and data-center environments. With a 2.5-inch form factor and a SATA 6Gb/s interface, this SSD delivers consistent read/write performance and low latency compared with traditional spinning drives. The 480GB capacity provides space for operating systems, databases, virtual machines and application data while improving overall system responsiveness and reducing boot and load times.

Advantages

This SSD offers faster data access and lower latency than mechanical hard drives, helping to improve application performance and system throughput. The 2.5-inch form factor and SATA 6Gb/s interface ensure wide compatibility with standard server bays and storage controllers. Designed for mixed-use workloads, the drive balances endurance and performance to support frequent reads and writes without sacrificing reliability. Its compact size, predictable performance and reduced power consumption make it suitable for dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Enterprise servers running mixed workload applications
• Virtualization hosts and hypervisor storage tiers
• Database acceleration and caching layers
• System boot and operating system drives in rack and blade servers
• Storage refresh projects replacing mechanical drives

Key specifications

• Capacity: 480 GB usable storage
• Form factor: 2.5-inch
• Interface: SATA 6 Gb/s (SATA III)
• Optimized for mixed-use workload profiles
• Low latency solid-state NAND storage
• Reduced power consumption compared with mechanical drives

How to use

Install the SSD into a compatible 2.5-inch drive bay or mounting adapter and connect it to a SATA III port on the host system or storage controller. Initialize and format the drive using the operating system or storage management tools, and assign it to the desired storage pool, volume or as a boot device. For virtualization and database use, integrate the drive into existing storage tiers or cache layers and monitor performance and health through standard server management utilities.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, use the drive in systems with proper cooling and power stability. Monitor SMART attributes and drive health regularly, follow vendor firmware update guidance, and plan for regular backups or replication for critical data.
