What is the form factor and compatibility of the HPE P48228-001?

3.5-inch LFF hot-swap SSD using 2.5-inch drive with smart carrier converter, designed for HPE ProLiant G8 and G9 servers. Allows direct replacement of 3.5-inch HDDs without backplane changes.

What are the key performance specifications?

Sequential read up to 510 MB/s, write 300 MB/s; random 4K read 63,000 IOPS, write 15,000 IOPS over SATA 6Gb/s. Optimized for read-heavy workloads with low latency.

What is the endurance rating for this SSD?

0.5 DWPD with 430 TB total bytes written, suitable for read-intensive applications where daily writes are <=20% of capacity. Ideal for boot, OS, and caching volumes.

Is this SSD hot-swappable?

Yes, fully hot-swap capable in supported ProLiant servers, with carrier designed for tool-less installation and LED status indicators for drive health monitoring.

What workloads is this SSD best suited for?

Read-intensive scenarios like virtualization hypervisors, read-mostly databases, web caching, and analytics where high random read IOPS and consistent latency are prioritized over write endurance.

Does it support power-loss protection?

Yes, includes enterprise-grade power-loss protection to flush in-flight data to NAND, ensuring filesystem integrity during unexpected power events common in server racks.

Product overview

The HPE P48228-001 is a 480GB SATA 6Gb/s read intensive solid state drive designed for enterprise server environments, particularly HPE ProLiant G8 and G9 generations. Featuring a 3.5-inch large form factor (LFF) with a 2.5-inch SSD and smart carrier converter, it enables hot-swap replacement in existing HDD bays without infrastructure changes. This SSD utilizes TLC 3D NAND flash optimized for read-heavy workloads, delivering sequential reads up to 510 MB/s, writes up to 300 MB/s, random 4K reads up to 63,000 IOPS, and writes up to 15,000 IOPS. With 0.5 DWPD endurance and 430 TBW rating, it suits applications where reads dominate, such as boot volumes, virtualization hosts, read-mostly databases, content caching, and analytics. The SATA III interface ensures broad compatibility with legacy server backplanes, while power-loss protection and enhanced error correction provide data integrity in mission-critical operations. Its low power consumption reduces operational costs and heat in dense racks, improving TCO for enterprise IT deployments focused on performance upgrades from HDDs without NVMe migration costs.
