What workload rating does the P09730-008 support?

Mixed Use (MU) with 3.5 DWPD endurance rating over 5 years, providing 6,000TB total writes. Suitable for virtualization, databases, and web servers requiring balanced read/write performance beyond read-intensive drives but below write-intensive workloads.

What are the performance specifications?

Sequential 535 MB/s read, 495 MB/s write; random 4K up to 80,000 read IOPS and 31,000 write IOPS. Average latencies 91μs read/36μs write make it ideal for random I/O intensive enterprise applications on SATA infrastructure.

Which HPE servers are compatible?

ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 platforms including DL160/180/360/380, ML350, BL460c, and select Apollo/Synergy systems. Uses standard Smart Carrier SFF bays with native SATA 6Gbps controller support and iLO integration for health monitoring.

What is the power consumption profile?

Idle 1.12W, random read/write 2.57W, sequential read 1.86W, sequential write 2.18W, maximum 2.57W. Low power design optimizes data center efficiency in dense rack configurations with minimal impact on PSU and cooling requirements.

Does it feature security enhancements?

Includes Digitally Signed Firmware (DS) preventing unauthorized modifications and supply chain attacks. Compatible with HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge via iLO for real-time endurance monitoring and predictive maintenance in managed environments.

What form factor and installation type?

2.5-inch SFF hot-plug with Smart Carrier (SC) tray for tool-less installation in standard ProLiant drive bays. Single-port SATA 6Gbps interface ensures seamless integration without adapters or special cabling.

Product overview

The HPE P09730-008 is a 960GB Mixed Use SATA 6Gbps Solid State Drive designed for enterprise ProLiant servers including Gen9 and Gen10 platforms. Featuring Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND flash with Smart Carrier (SC) hot-plug form factor and digitally signed firmware (DS), this 2.5-inch SFF SSD delivers 3.5 Drive Writes Per Day (DWPD) endurance rated at 6,000TB lifetime writes. Sequential read/write performance reaches 535/495 MB/s while random 4K operations achieve up to 80,000 read IOPS and 31,000 write IOPS, ideal for high random I/O workloads like virtualization, databases, and caching. Power consumption averages 2.57W under random read/write loads with idle at 1.12W, optimizing data center efficiency. Compatible with HPE ProLiant DL/ML/ML series, Apollo systems, and Synergy platforms via standard SATA controllers. The mixed-use rating balances read-intensive and write workloads, providing consistent low-latency performance (91/36 μs average) for business-critical applications. Digitally signed firmware enhances security and reliability in managed environments with iLO integration for wear monitoring via SmartSSD Wear Gauge.
