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

SKU CH-T0P8-082N5

An 800 GB SAS solid-state drive in a 3.5 inch hot-pluggable carrier for mixed-use server workloads

  • NAND Flash Memory TypeSolid State Drive
  • 800 GB capacity for data-intensive workloads
  • SAS 12Gb/s interface for high-speed data transfer
  • Mixed-use endurance rated at 3 DWPD
  • Digitally signed firmware prevents unauthorized access

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.

Questions about this item

How is the 3.5" SAS drive installed in a server and which step is often missed?

Mount the drive in a 3.5-inch bay using the supplied Smart Carrier, connect the SAS 12Gb/s cable, and ensure the carrier latch clicks fully to engage the hot-plug connector.

What maintenance or replacement will the 800 GB mixed-use SSD need later?

The drive is rated for 3 drive writes per day; plan replacement when workload approaches that endurance limit or after the 3-year warranty period.

What limit appears first on the 12Gb/s SAS interface under sustained heavy writes?

The 3 DWPD endurance rating is the first constraint; sustained write workloads exceeding that rate will require drive replacement sooner.
