SSD drive HP Enterprise 960 GB 2.5 inch SAS P40510-B21, 12 Gbit/s, 790/635 MB/s, 105k/47k IOPS, MU, hot-plug

The HPE 960 GB 2.5" SAS P40510-B21 is a 2.5" internal mixed-use SSD designed for server environments. It uses a 12 Gbit/s Enterprise SAS interface to provide balanced read/write IOPS and improved bandwidth compared with SATA drives. With a 960 GB capacity, sustained read speed up to 790 MB/s and write speed up to 635 MB/s, this drive targets workloads that need reliable, high-performance storage in 24x7 data center operation.

Advantages

This HPE SAS mixed-use SSD delivers higher IOPS and lower latency to accelerate mixed read/write applications. The SAS interface supports full-duplex transfers for greater I/O bandwidth, while enterprise-grade features such as full data-path error detection and surprise power-loss protection help maintain data integrity. The drive is available in a variety of capacities and is tested and qualified to HPE reliability standards.
