Key Features

As part of the HPE ecosystem, the P18428-H21 includes serviceability features that align with data center operational requirements. These include hot-plug capability in supported systems, LED indicators for status and fault identification, and compatibility with HPE's service and infrastructure.

Read-Intensive SSD

Within HPE's SSD portfolio, read-intensive drives like the P18428-H21 offer a different balance of performance characteristics compared to mixed-use and write-intensive models. While write-intensive drives prioritize write endurance and performance, read-intensive models optimize for cost-effectiveness in workloads where writes are less frequent. This specialization allows organizations to select the most appropriate drive type for their specific workload requirements.

Enterprise NVMe 

NVMe drives offer substantially higher performance than SATA SSDs, with significantly lower latency and higher IOPS capabilities. However, this performance comes at a higher cost per GB and may require infrastructure changes. For many read-intensive workloads, the performance of SATA SSDs like the P18428-H21 is sufficient, making them a more cost-effective choice when NVMe-level performance is not required.

The HPE P18428-H21 3.84TB Read-Intensive SATA SSD represents a strategic balance of capacity, performance, and cost for read-dominant enterprise workloads. Its design reflects HPE's understanding of real-world data center requirements, offering a storage solution that delivers reliable performance while optimizing total cost of ownership. For organizations with appropriate workload characteristics, this drive provides an effective foundation for storage infrastructure that meets both current needs and future growth requirements.
