HPE 480 GB SATA 2.5 inch enterprise SSD in silver metal casing

HPE

HPE P04560-B21 480 GB SATA 2.5" enterprise SSD

SKU CH-K093-W0W6T

480 GB SATA enterprise SSD for read-intensive server workloads, rated at 1 DWPD with digitally signed firmware and Smart Carrier status icons

  • High endurance for read-intensive workloads with 1 drive write per day
  • 480 GB SATA 600 interface for fast data access in servers
  • 35 million hours of testing ensures proven reliability
  • Digitally signed firmware protects data from unauthorized access
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard server bays with 1.12 W power draw

HPE 480 GB SATA RI SSD

This HPE 480 GB SATA read-intensive solid-state drive targets servers running data-heavy workloads that demand high random read IOPS. Its 1 drive write per day endurance rating suits read-dominant applications such as web serving, content delivery and log processing. HPE digitally signed firmware and the Smart Carrier status icons help maintain data integrity and reduce human error during maintenance. The drive fits 2.5-inch SFF bays in supported HPE servers.

SATA 600 interface limits

The SATA 600 interface caps sequential throughput well below modern NVMe speeds, so write-heavy databases or high-transaction OLTP systems will saturate the link. Random read performance scales with queue depth but cannot exceed the bus ceiling. Operating power draw is 1.12 W, which aids thermal budgets in dense chassis. The drive is not NVMe and does not use PCIe lanes.

Upgrading from HDDs or lighter SSDs

Replacing 2.5-inch mechanical drives with this SSD removes rotational latency and raises random read IOPS dramatically for read-centric tiers. The jump is worth it when workloads sit within the 1 DWPD envelope and the server backplane supports SATA 600. Environments needing higher write endurance or NVMe latency should evaluate other drive classes.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 480 GB SATA model or look for a larger capacity?

The 480 GB capacity suits read-intensive workloads such as web serving or content delivery where write cycles stay low. If your application writes more than one full drive per day, a higher-capacity or mixed-use drive would last longer.

What does the SATA 600 interface mean for actual throughput in my server?

The SATA 600 interface caps sequential transfer at 600 MB/s, so sustained reads and writes will not exceed that ceiling even if the NAND could go faster.

Is the 2.5 inch SATA connector compatible with standard server drive bays?

Yes, the 2.5 inch SATA form factor fits any standard SFF hot-plug bay that accepts SATA 600 drives, and the Smart Carrier status icons work with HPE management tools.
