HPE P04531-B21 800 GB SAS 12Gb/s 3.5" internal hard drive

HPE 800 GB SAS 12G Mixed Use SSD

This HPE solid-state drive delivers 800 GB of storage through a 12Gb/s SAS interface in a 3.5-inch form factor. It is designed for server environments that require a balance of high random read and write IOPS performance. Digitally signed firmware helps protect data integrity by ensuring the drive firmware comes from a trusted source. The drive includes a Smart Carrier for simplified installation and status identification.

Suited for mixed-use server workloads

The drive targets applications needing both read and write endurance, rated at 3 drive writes per day. It fits hot-pluggable 3.5-inch bays in compatible HPE servers. Buyers needing higher capacity for read-intensive archives or lower-cost bulk storage should consider other options. Systems without SAS 12Gb/s backplane support cannot use this drive.

12Gb/s SAS interface decides compatibility

The drive connects exclusively via a 12Gb/s SAS interface, so the host server or controller must support this standard. It occupies a 3.5-inch LFF bay measuring 1 inch high, 4.2 inches wide and 6.2 inches deep. Verifying the backplane interface and physical bay clearance is the single step that confirms whether this part fits the build.
