HPE P47808-B21

Overview

The HPE P47808-B21 is a 960GB solid state drive designed specifically for ProLiant and other HPE servers that handle significantly more read operations than writes. It connects via a SATA 6G interface and comes in a large form factor tray with a low-profile carrier, allowing easy installation into 3.5-inch bays. Its hot-plug capability ensures you can replace or add drives without shutting down your server, maintaining uptime and operational continuity.

This SSD delivers up to 58,500 random read IOPS and 29,000 random write IOPS, making it well suited for workloads such as web hosting, boot drives, and data analytics where fast data access is critical. Its endurance rating of 0.8 drive writes per day, equivalent to 1,400 terabytes written over its lifespan, supports reliable performance in read-intensive environments like virtualization hosts and file servers.

Key features

• Read-intensive design optimized for workloads with frequent data reads and fewer writes, improving efficiency in server environments.
• Hot-pluggable capability allows for drive replacement or upgrades without interrupting server operations.
• Large form factor with a low-profile carrier fits standard 3.5-inch bays, simplifying integration into existing server racks.
• Digitally signed firmware ensures drive authenticity and helps meet security policies with minimal administrative effort.
• High random read and write IOPS enhance responsiveness for web servers, boot processes, and data scanning applications.
• Three-year limited warranty provides peace of mind for deployment in both branch offices and core data centers.

Connectivity and compatibility

This SSD uses a SATA 6G interface, which supports fast data transfer rates compatible with a wide range of HPE ProLiant servers and other systems that accept 3.5-inch drives. Its design ensures seamless integration into existing server infrastructures that require reliable, read-intensive storage solutions.

Performance and reliability

With a focus on read-intensive workloads, this drive maintains high responsiveness for applications that demand quick data access, such as web servers and analytics tools. The endurance rating and total write lifespan indicate it can sustain heavy read operations over time without compromising data integrity. Digitally signed firmware adds a layer of security by verifying the drive’s authenticity, reducing risks associated with firmware tampering.

Ideal uses and environments

This SSD is a strong choice for IT professionals managing servers that prioritize read performance, including virtualization hosts, file servers, and environments where fast boot times and quick data retrieval are essential. Its hot-plug support and form factor make it suitable for both branch office setups and core data centers where uptime and reliability are critical.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
