Description

The HPE 3.2TB NVMe Gen5 Mixed Use EDSFF E3.S SSD (PS1030) delivers ultra-low latency and high I/O bandwidth for demanding enterprise workloads including Big Data analytics, cloud computing, HPC, databases, and virtualisation. Built on the PCIe Gen 5 bus and EDSFF E3.S EC1 form factor, it replaces traditional 2.5-inch SFF SSDs while dramatically increasing NVMe drive density in HPE Gen12 servers — a 1U server can host up to 20 E3.S drives versus fewer conventional drives.

Rated at 3.41 DWPD endurance for balanced read/write mixed-use performance, the drive supports hot-plug operation, full data-path error detection, and HPE Digitally Signed Firmware to guard against unauthorised access. Security Protocol and Data Model (SPDM) support adds an additional layer of data protection.

Features

- PCIe Gen 5 direct-to-application data path delivers maximum I/O bandwidth and significantly lower latency than SAS or SATA SSDs
- EDSFF E3.S form factor replaces traditional 2.5-inch SFF SSDs and enables much higher NVMe drive density per server
- 3.41 DWPD endurance rating optimised for high I/O mixed read/write enterprise workloads
- Hot-plug support allows drive replacement without server downtime
- Full data-path error detection ensures data accuracy and integrity across all operations
- HPE Digitally Signed Firmware prevents unauthorised firmware modifications and malicious attacks
- Security Protocol and Data Model (SPDM) support for enhanced data protection
- Improved power efficiency and thermals with EDSFF E3.S — fewer watts per server compared to legacy form factors
- Ideal for Big Data analytics, cloud computing, HPC, business intelligence, database workloads, and virtualisation

FAQs

Q: Which HPE servers is the P70399-B21 compatible with?
A: The HPE 3.2TB NVMe Gen5 E3.S PS1030 SSD is designed for and compatible with HPE Gen12 servers that support EDSFF E3.S drive bays and PCIe Gen 5 NVMe connectivity.

Q: What does 'Mixed Use' mean for this SSD?
A: Mixed Use (MU) indicates the drive is optimised for workloads that require a balance of both read and write performance with high endurance — rated at 3.41 DWPD. It suits databases, virtualisation, analytics, and cloud environments that generate intensive and varied I/O.

Q: How does the EDSFF E3.S form factor compare to a standard 2.5-inch SSD?
A: The EDSFF E3.S form factor is purpose-built for NVMe and PCIe Gen 5, enabling much higher drive density in HPE Gen12 servers — a 1U server can hold up to 20 E3.S drives, and a 2U server up to 36. It also delivers better thermals and lower power consumption per drive compared to legacy 2.5-inch SFF SSDs.

Q: Does this SSD support hot-plug replacement?
A: Yes, the P70399-B21 is hot-pluggable, allowing you to replace the drive while the server remains powered on, minimising disruption to production environments.

Q: What security features does this HPE SSD include?
A: The drive includes HPE Digitally Signed Firmware to prevent unauthorised firmware modifications, full data-path error detection for data integrity, and Security Protocol and Data Model (SPDM) support for enhanced protection against data breaches.
