What is the form factor and connector of the HPE P73297-B21?

The drive uses a Small Form Factor (SFF) 2.5-inch design with U.3 (SFF-8639) connector. This standard fits HPE server bays and supports hot-plug for maintenance, ensuring compatibility with ProLiant and Synergy platforms.

What performance does this SSD provide?

It offers sequential read speeds in thousands of MB/s and random read IOPS in hundreds of thousands via NVMe interface. This suits read-intensive workloads with 80/20 read-write ratios, providing low latency for boot and app hosting.

Is it suitable for read-heavy workloads?

Yes, as a Read Intensive (RI) SSD with lowest DWPD tier, it's optimized for high read-to-write ratios. Ideal for boot drives, large datasets, and caching where writes are minimal, using advanced NAND technology.

Which HPE platforms is it compatible with?

Compatible with HPE ProLiant, Synergy, Apollo servers, plus Nimble and Alletra storage arrays. The U.3 NVMe design ensures seamless integration in enterprise HPE environments for standardized deployments.

Does it support hot-plug replacement?

Yes, hot-plug support allows drive replacement without system shutdown. This feature, combined with SFF form factor, facilitates easy upgrades and maintenance in production servers.

What is the endurance rating?

Endurance is lowest DWPD among tiers, calibrated for read-centric tasks. This provides reliable performance for 1.92TB capacity in scenarios like application hosting with minimal writes, backed by industry-leading NAND.
