Description

The HPE CM7 6.4TB NVMe Gen4 U.3 SFF SSD delivers enterprise-grade mixed use performance for demanding workloads including Big Data analytics, HPC, virtualisation, and cloud computing. Built on the KIOXIA CM7 controller with a PCIe Gen4 interface, it achieves up to 2,450,000 random read IOPS and 13,351 MiB/s sequential read throughput — significantly outpacing SAS and SATA alternatives. Hardware-based self-encryption meets FIPS 140-3 and TCG Opal standards, making it suitable for government and regulated enterprise environments requiring certified data security at rest.

Rated at 3 DWPD for 5 years (35,040 TBW), this drive sustains intensive mixed read/write cycles without compromising reliability. The U.3 Basic Carrier form factor is hot-plug capable and 100% backwards compatible with NVMe U.2 backplanes on HPE Gen10 servers, simplifying integration into existing infrastructure. Full data-path error detection and digitally signed firmware further protect data integrity across the drive's operational life.

Features

- FIPS 140-3 certified self-encrypting drive (SED) for government and regulated enterprise compliance
- NVMe PCIe Gen4 interface delivers industry-leading bandwidth and low latency direct to applications
- 100% backwards compatible with NVMe U.2 backplanes on HPE Gen10 servers
- 3 DWPD endurance rating sustains intensive mixed read/write workloads over a 5-year lifespan
- Hot-plug capable via Basic Carrier (BC) for high availability and minimal downtime maintenance
- Full data-path error detection maintains data accuracy across the entire I/O chain
- Digitally signed firmware prevents unauthorised modification and enhances platform security
- Optimised for Big Data analytics, cloud computing, HPC, database, business intelligence, and virtualisation
- TCG Opal 2.0 compliant encryption for interoperability with enterprise key management solutions
- Validated to 3.35 million hour MTBF through extensive reliability testing

FAQs

Q: What servers is the HPE P61059-B21 6.4TB NVMe SSD compatible with?
A: This drive is designed for HPE ProLiant Gen10 and Gen10 Plus servers with NVMe U.3 or U.2-compatible backplanes. It is 100% backwards compatible with NVMe U.2 SSD backplanes on HPE Gen10 servers, allowing deployment into existing HPE infrastructure without backplane replacement.

Q: What does the FIPS 140-3 certification mean for this SSD?
A: FIPS 140-3 is a US federal cryptographic module security standard. This drive's hardware-based self-encryption has been independently validated to FIPS 140-3 Level 2, making it suitable for government agencies, defence contractors, and regulated enterprises that require certified encryption of data at rest.

Q: What is the difference between U.3 and U.2 NVMe interfaces?
A: U.3 is a tri-mode interface standard that supports NVMe, SATA, and SAS over the same physical connector, providing greater flexibility. U.3 SSDs are backwards compatible with U.2 NVMe backplanes, so the P61059-B21 can slot into existing U.2 NVMe bays on HPE Gen10 servers while taking full advantage of PCIe Gen4 bandwidth when the platform supports it.

Q: Is 3 DWPD sufficient for mixed use database and virtualisation workloads?
A: Yes. A 3 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) rating means this 6.4TB drive can sustain approximately 19.2TB of writes per day over a 5-year rated lifespan — well suited to workloads with a balanced mix of reads and writes such as OLTP databases, virtual machine storage, and business intelligence applications.

Q: Can I purchase this HPE SSD in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) supplies HPE server storage options including the P61059-B21 and can provide competitive pricing with local Australian support. Contact our team for volume pricing, compatibility checks, or lead time enquiries.

Q: How does PCIe Gen4 benefit this drive compared to Gen3 NVMe SSDs?
A: PCIe Gen4 doubles the per-lane bandwidth compared to Gen3, enabling the CM7 SSD to achieve sequential read speeds of up to 13,351 MiB/s and random read IOPS of up to 2,450,000. This is particularly beneficial for latency-sensitive workloads such as real-time analytics, HPC, and high-density virtualisation where storage throughput is a bottleneck.
