HPE 3.2TB SAS Solid State Drive

This HPE P49053-B21 solid state drive provides 3.2TB of storage capacity in a 2.5 inch form factor. It connects via a SAS interface operating at 24Gb/s and is designed for mixed use workloads. The drive supports hot plugging and carries a 3 DWPD endurance rating for demanding server environments.

Suited for mixed use server workloads

The drive is built for big data analytics, cloud computing, high performance compute, database applications and virtualization. It delivers higher IOPS and lower latency to enhance data center performance. Buyers needing a different capacity or a non-SAS interface should consider other options. Self-encrypting FIPS capability addresses strict security requirements.

Standard 2.5 inch hot plug installation

Installation follows the standard 2.5 inch hot plug process for compatible HPE servers. The drive fits into supported drive bays without tools while the system remains powered on. Compatibility issues usually arise when the server backplane or controller does not support 24Gb/s SAS speeds or mixed use endurance ratings. Verify the hardware generation matches the drive specifications.

Questions about this item

Which server backplane or controller supports the 24Gb/s SAS interface on this drive?

The drive requires a backplane or controller that can operate at 24Gb/s SAS to deliver its rated throughput.

Will the 12Gb SAS mixed-use SSD function correctly when installed alongside existing 12Gb SAS drives in the same chassis?

Yes, it will negotiate down to 12Gb/s and operate normally with other 12Gb SAS devices on the same bus.

How can I confirm the self-encrypting FIPS drive is active and protecting data after installation?

Check the drive’s encryption status in the server management console or HPE Smart Storage Administrator to verify FIPS mode is enabled.
