HPE 960GB SFF 2.5" SATA 6G Read Intensive SC SSD

The HPE P18424-B21 is a 960GB solid state drive designed for systems that rely on quick, consistent data access. It fits the 2.5 inch small form factor and connects through a 6 Gb/s SATA interface, so it installs easily in compatible HPE servers and storage enclosures.

Delivering up to 58,500 random read IOPS, the drive keeps operating systems, web services, and caching layers responsive. It suits workloads that read far more than they write, such as boot volumes, content delivery nodes, or database reporting instances, where high read speed matters more than extended write endurance.

The Smart Carrier design streamlines maintenance. If a drive needs replacement or added capacity, it slides out quickly, letting administrators perform hot swaps with minimal downtime and no complicated procedures.

At only 3.36 watts of active power draw, the drive helps reduce energy costs and lowers heat output in dense rack environments or edge deployments with limited cooling.

HPE digital firmware protection guards against unauthorized changes, while built-in health monitoring tools provide clear wear indicators so you can plan replacements in advance. An endurance rating of 0.8 drive writes per day and a three-year limited warranty reinforce its reliability for read-heavy operations.
