HPE 400GB 12G SAS MU-3 SFF SC SSD

Server workloads demand storage that can keep up with high transaction rates and mixed read/write patterns. The HPE 400GB 12G SAS MU-3 SFF SC SSD is built for that pressure, using a 12Gb/s SAS interface and mixed-use endurance to keep latency low when databases, virtualization, and OLTP applications are running at full tilt.

Who is it for

IT administrators and data center architects who need a fast, reliable boot or tier-1 storage device for HPE ProLiant Gen9, Gen10, and Gen10 Plus servers or Synergy systems. It fits any standard 2.5-inch small form factor bay with HPE Smart Carrier, and hot-plug support means you can swap drives without downtime.

Main features

• 400 GB capacity with 12G SAS interface for high throughput
