Description

The HPE P69241-B21 is a 1.6TB PCIe Gen5 x4 NVMe 2.0 SSD in the EDSFF E3.S EC1 form factor, powered by the Kioxia CD8P controller and rated for 3 DWPD endurance. Delivering up to 1,600,000 random read IOPS and 11,444 MB/s sequential read throughput, it is engineered for enterprise mixed-use workloads — including Big Data analytics, cloud computing, high-performance compute, databases, and virtualisation — where both sustained throughput and write endurance are critical.

Built for high-density modern data centres, this hot-pluggable drive supports OCP Datacenter NVMe SSD 2.0 and features HPE Digitally Signed Firmware to guard against unauthorised access and firmware tampering. Full data-path error detection ensures integrity across demanding I/O workloads, while compatibility with the HPE SSD Selector Tool (ssd.hpe.com) simplifies deployment planning.

FAQs

Q: What workloads is the HPE P69241-B21 1.6TB NVMe Gen5 SSD designed for?
A: This drive is optimised for enterprise mixed-use workloads that require both high read IOPS and sustained write endurance. Ideal use cases include Big Data analytics, cloud computing, high-performance compute (HPC), business intelligence, relational databases, and virtualisation environments.

Q: What does 3 DWPD mean and is it sufficient for a database workload?
A: 3 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) means the full 1.6 TB capacity can be overwritten three times per day for five years before the drive reaches its rated endurance limit — totalling 8,760 TB written. This is well-suited to mixed-use database and analytics workloads that have significant but not extreme write intensity.

Q: Is this SSD compatible with HPE ProLiant and Synergy servers?
A: Yes. HPE E3.S NVMe Gen5 SSDs are designed for HPE-qualified platforms supporting the EDSFF E3.S form factor. Use the HPE SSD Selector Tool at ssd.hpe.com to confirm compatibility with your specific server generation before ordering.

Q: What is the EDSFF E3.S form factor and why does it matter?
A: EDSFF (Enterprise and Data Centre SSD Form Factor) E3.S is a next-generation SSD form factor engineered for high-density data centre deployments. Compared to traditional U.2, E3.S drives offer improved thermal management, higher drive density per chassis, and are optimised for PCIe Gen5 bandwidth — making them the preferred choice for modern hyperscale and enterprise compute platforms.

Q: Does this SSD support hot-plug replacement?
A: Yes. The P69241-B21 is fully hot-pluggable, allowing drive replacement without powering down the server. This minimises downtime during maintenance and is essential for high-availability enterprise environments.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE P69241-B21 in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller supplying authentic HPE storage solutions including NVMe Gen5 SSDs. Contact the team for pricing, volume availability, and compatibility advice tailored to your infrastructure.
