Enterprise SATA SSD for data centres

The HPE P40498-B21 is a 960 GB 2.5 inch SATA III solid state drive built for server environments. It targets IT teams running big data analytics, cloud platforms, active archives, databases and data warehousing workloads. The drive delivers high IOPS to accelerate transaction-heavy applications. Full data-path error detection protects accuracy across the storage tier.

Capacity and workload fit

At 960 GB the drive provides ample space for read intensive and mixed use enterprise datasets. It handles database tables, virtual machine images and cached analytics comfortably. Write intensive or sustained heavy logging workloads will exhaust endurance sooner than higher DWPD alternatives. The SATA 6 Gb/s interface caps peak throughput below SAS or NVMe options.

Thermals and power in normal use

The 2.5 inch form factor fits standard drive bays and draws modest power during typical read heavy operations. Heat output remains low enough for conventional server airflow without extra cooling. Acoustic output is negligible because the drive has no moving parts. Power consumption scales with queue depth but stays within normal SATA SSD limits.

Questions about this item

Will this 2.5" SATA III drive fit in the same bays as my existing 2.5" SATA HDDs?

Yes, the 2.5-inch form factor and SATA III interface match standard 2.5-inch SATA drive bays and backplanes used by existing SATA HDDs.

How can I verify the P40498-B21 is operating correctly after installation?

The drive will be recognised by the server BIOS or RAID controller; check SMART attributes and run a short self-test to confirm health and throughput.

Does the P40498-B21 package include a drive tray or caddy for HPE servers?

The drive is supplied as a bare 2.5-inch unit; a compatible HPE drive tray or caddy must be purchased separately for server installation.
