Description

The HPE 3.84TB NVMe Gen5 Read Intensive EDSFF E3.S SSD (P70392-B21) delivers enterprise-grade PCIe Gen 5 performance in the compact E3.S EC1 form factor, powered by the SK Hynix PS1010 controller. Designed for read-intensive workloads such as databases, AI/ML inference, HPC, web serving, and read caching, it doubles sequential throughput over Gen 4 SSDs while enabling significantly higher NVMe drive density — up to 20 drives in a 1U HPE server or 36 in a 2U chassis, replacing traditional 2.5-inch SFF slots.

With 3.84TB usable capacity, 7,000 TBW endurance (1.0 DWPD over 5 years), and TCG Opal 2.02 self-encrypting drive support, this SSD is purpose-built for demanding enterprise storage environments. HPE Digitally Signed Firmware and full data-path error detection ensure platform integrity and data accuracy at high IOPS.

Features

- PCIe Gen 5 interface delivers double the sequential bandwidth of Gen 4 SSDs for high-throughput workloads
- EDSFF E3.S form factor enables significantly higher NVMe drive density vs traditional 2.5-inch SFF drives
- Optimised for read-intensive applications: databases, AI/ML inference, HPC, web servers, read caching, and boot/swap
- Full data-path error detection ensures data integrity at sustained high IOPS
- TCG Opal 2.02 SSC self-encrypting drive support for data security compliance
- HPE Digitally Signed Firmware protects against unauthorised firmware modification
- Improved thermals and power management for high-density, high-I/O datacenter deployments
- HPE rigorous qualification process guarantees compatibility and reliability in supported HPE server platforms

FAQs

Q: Which HPE servers are compatible with the P70392-B21 E3.S SSD?
A: The P70392-B21 is designed for HPE servers that support EDSFF E3.S EC1 NVMe drive bays and PCIe Gen 5, such as the HPE ProLiant Gen11 server family. Always verify compatibility against the HPE SPOCK (Single Point of Connectivity Knowledge) tool or contact IP Trading for guidance.

Q: What does 'Read Intensive' mean for this SSD, and what workloads does it suit?
A: Read Intensive (RI) SSDs are optimised for workloads where the majority of operations are reads — typically 80–100% read ratio. This makes the P70392-B21 ideal for databases, AI/ML inference, web serving, read caching, HPC analytics, and OS boot/swap volumes where write endurance requirements are moderate.

Q: What is the endurance rating, and how long will the drive last under enterprise use?
A: The drive is rated at 7,000 TBW (Terabytes Written), which corresponds to 1.0 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) over a 5-year operational life — standard for read-intensive enterprise SSDs. For write-heavy workloads, HPE offers Mixed Use (MU) and Write Intensive (WI) variants.

Q: What is the advantage of the EDSFF E3.S form factor over traditional 2.5-inch SFF SSDs?
A: EDSFF E3.S drives enable much higher NVMe drive density in a server chassis — up to 20 E3.S drives in a 1U HPE server, compared to far fewer 2.5-inch NVMe drives. They also offer improved thermal management, better power delivery, and a purpose-built mechanical design for NVMe at scale.

Q: Does the P70392-B21 support self-encryption for data security?
A: Yes. The drive supports TCG Opal 2.02 SSC (Self-Encrypting Drive), enabling hardware-level encryption that protects data at rest without impacting performance. This is suitable for organisations with data security compliance requirements.
