Description

The HPE 7.68TB NVMe Gen5 Read Intensive EDSFF E3.S SSD (P70395-B21) delivers PCIe Gen 5 bandwidth and ultra-low latency for demanding server workloads including AI/ML inference, databases, read caching, and web serving. Using the SKHynix PS1010 controller and the compact EDSFF E3.S EC1 thin carrier form factor, this drive enables dramatically higher storage density than traditional 2.5-inch SFF drives — up to 20 drives per 1U — making it ideal for high-density HPE ProLiant and Synergy multi-server deployments requiring maximum read IOPS and efficient thermal management.

With 1.44 DWPD endurance, full data-path error detection, HPE Digitally Signed Firmware, and SPDM drive-level security support, the P70395-B21 is engineered for reliability and data integrity in enterprise environments. Hot-pluggable and HPE-qualified for compatibility via the HPE SSD Selector Tool, this SSD is a drop-in upgrade path to Gen 5 performance.

Features

- PCIe Gen 5 NVMe interface delivers maximum I/O bandwidth and significantly reduced latency versus SAS or SATA SSDs
- EDSFF E3.S form factor supports up to 20 drives per 1U and 36 drives per 2U — far exceeding traditional 2.5-inch SFF density
- Full data-path error detection maintains data accuracy under sustained high-throughput read workloads
- HPE Digitally Signed Firmware guards against unauthorised firmware modifications
- Security Protocol and Data Model (SPDM) support for enhanced drive-level security in enterprise deployments
- Hot-pluggable design allows drive replacement without server downtime
- Optimised for AI/ML, databases, read caching, web servers, and boot/swap workloads
- Improved thermal management and power efficiency for better system-level scalability
- HPE-qualified and validated — compatible systems verifiable via the HPE SSD Selector Tool (ssd.hpe.com)

FAQs

Q: What servers is the HPE P70395-B21 SSD compatible with?
A: The P70395-B21 is designed for HPE ProLiant and Synergy servers that support the EDSFF E3.S (E3 Short) form factor with PCIe Gen 5 NVMe backplanes. Compatibility can be confirmed using the HPE SSD Selector Tool at ssd.hpe.com. It is positioned in the -B21 compute and multi-server product line.

Q: What workloads is this SSD best suited for?
A: This drive is classified as Read Intensive and is optimised for workloads with high read-to-write ratios, including AI/ML inference, database read operations, web serving, read caching, and operating system boot volumes. Its 1.44 DWPD endurance rating is suited for environments where reads dominate the I/O profile.

Q: How does the EDSFF E3.S form factor compare to a standard 2.5-inch SFF SSD?
A: EDSFF E3.S is a next-generation enterprise drive form factor that offers significantly higher drive density than traditional 2.5-inch SFF. A single 1U server can house up to 20 E3.S drives compared to far fewer 2.5-inch drives, enabling greater capacity per rack unit. The thinner profile also improves airflow and thermal management.

Q: What security features does the P70395-B21 include?
A: The drive supports HPE Digitally Signed Firmware, which prevents unauthorised firmware modifications, and Security Protocol and Data Model (SPDM), which provides cryptographic authentication at the drive level — both critical for zero-trust enterprise security architectures.

Q: Does this SSD require any additional HPE licences to operate?
A: No additional software licences are required for basic operation. The drive functions as a standard HPE-qualified NVMe SSD within supported HPE server platforms. Advanced management features may leverage HPE iLO or HPE OneView capabilities already present in the server environment.
