HPE 240GB SATA 6G Read Intensive SFF BC SSD

The HPE P40496-B21 is a solid state drive with 240GB of storage that connects through a SATA 6G interface and fits in a 2.5 inch small form factor bay on HPE servers. Built for read intensive applications, it provides quick access to data without demanding a large power budget or a premium price.

With sustained throughput that reaches up to 600 MB per second and random performance of up to 65,000 read IOPS, the drive helps servers boot faster, serve web pages more responsively, and keep read caches filled. Write activity is supported as well, delivering up to 14,000 write IOPS for everyday logging and system updates.

The drive draws as little as 2.48 watts under load, so it keeps thermal output manageable in dense rack environments. Thanks to a hot pluggable design and the included HPE Basic Carrier, you can add or replace the drive without taking the system offline.

Reliability features such as HPE signed firmware and an onboard wear gauge protect the system against unauthorized code and make it easy to monitor remaining life. A three year limited warranty backs long term deployments in data centers, branch offices, or lab environments that require consistent, read focused storage.
