P03596-B21 HPE 480GB SATA 6GBPS Mixed Use 2.5 Inch Internal SSD

The P03596-B21 HPE 480GB SATA 6GBPS Mixed Use 2.5 Inch Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) is designed to deliver reliable storage performance for enterprise environments. Built with advanced SATA 6GBPS interface technology, this SSD provides an optimal balance between speed, endurance, and cost-effectiveness, making it a perfect choice for mixed-use workloads in servers and data centers.

Performance and Speed

The P03596-B21 SSD is engineered for high-performance storage solutions. Leveraging SATA 6GBPS technology, it can achieve sustained sequential read speeds up to 550 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 520 MB/s, making it suitable for database operations, virtualization, and general-purpose enterprise storage tasks. Mixed-use optimization ensures that the SSD can handle workloads where both read and write operations are frequent, providing stable performance without significant latency issues.

Mixed Use Workload Suitability

This HPE SSD is ideal for applications that require frequent and unpredictable data access patterns. It is particularly effective for:

• Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environments
• Transactional databases
• File sharing systems
• Web servers and email servers

The mixed-use design ensures that the drive maintains consistent performance while managing both high-volume reads and writes, a common requirement in enterprise IT infrastructure.

Enterprise-Grade Reliability

Reliability is a key factor in enterprise storage. The P03596-B21 SSD includes advanced error correction, wear leveling, and over-provisioning technologies to ensure long-term data integrity and drive endurance. With a mean time between failures (MTBF) rated at over 2 million hours, this SSD is built to support continuous operation in data-intensive environments.

Data Protection Features

Data security and integrity are critical in enterprise storage. The P03596-B21 offers features such as:

• End-to-end data protection
• Advanced ECC (Error Correction Code) algorithms
• Power loss protection for safeguarding in-flight data

These features make it a reliable choice for organizations that prioritize data integrity and uptime.

Compatibility and Installation

The 2.5-inch form factor ensures that this SSD is compatible with a wide range of servers, storage arrays, and workstation configurations. It easily fits into existing SATA drive bays and supports hot-swapping in compatible enterprise systems, which helps reduce downtime during upgrades or replacements.

Server and Storage System Integration

HPE has designed the P03596-B21 SSD to seamlessly integrate with HPE ProLiant servers and storage solutions. The drive supports native HPE management tools, allowing IT administrators to monitor performance, health, and usage statistics efficiently. Integration with HPE Smart Array Controllers ensures optimized performance and simplified storage management.

Virtualization and VDI
