HPE P18486-001 7.68 TB SATA SSD
The HPE P18486-001 is a 7.68 TB solid-state drive built for read-intensive enterprise workloads. It uses a SATA 600 interface in a 2.5 inch internal form factor and includes a drive carrier for direct installation.
Read-intensive server storage
This drive suits administrators who need high-capacity, cost-effective storage for workloads dominated by read operations such as web serving, content delivery or archival access. Environments demanding sustained heavy write endurance should evaluate drives specified for mixed-use or write-intensive endurance ratings.
SATA 600 interface compatibility
The single specification that decides fitment is the SATA 600 interface; the server backplane or controller must support this standard to recognise the drive. Compatibility is confirmed for HPE ProLiant servers and the drive meets RoHS environmental certification.
