Description

The HPE PS1030 3.2TB NVMe Gen4 U.3 SSD delivers enterprise-grade mixed-use storage performance for HPE ProLiant servers demanding high throughput and low latency. Built to the Small Form Factor Basic Carrier (SFF BC) specification with PCIe Gen4 bandwidth, this drive is engineered for workloads that blend intensive read and write operations — including virtualisation, databases, and analytics platforms in demanding data centre environments.

The U.3 interface provides flexible tri-mode compatibility, enabling deployment across NVMe, SAS, and SATA backplanes without hardware changes, protecting infrastructure investments as storage needs evolve. Designed and qualified specifically for HPE server platforms, this SSD integrates seamlessly with HPE iLO management and HPE InfoSight predictive analytics for proactive monitoring.

Features

- PCIe Gen4 NVMe interface delivers significantly higher throughput and lower latency compared to Gen3 NVMe and SAS/SATA equivalents
- U.3 tri-mode connector supports NVMe, SAS, and SATA protocols — maximising backplane flexibility and investment protection
- Mixed Use endurance rating engineered for combined read/write workloads including databases, virtualisation, and analytics
- Small Form Factor Basic Carrier (SFF BC) design compatible with HPE ProLiant hot-plug drive bays
- HPE-qualified and factory-tested for seamless integration with ProLiant server firmware and RAID/HBA controllers
- HPE iLO integration enables remote health monitoring, predictive failure alerting, and lifecycle management
- HPE InfoSight compatibility provides AI-driven predictive analytics across the storage fleet
- High-performance random I/O optimised for latency-sensitive enterprise applications

FAQs

Q: What HPE server platforms is the P70426-B21 compatible with?
A: The HPE PS1030 SFF BC U.3 SSD is designed for HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus and Gen11 rack and tower servers equipped with U.3-capable NVMe backplanes. Always verify compatibility with the HPE Single Point of Connectivity Knowledge (SPOCK) tool or your HPE representative before ordering.

Q: What does the U.3 interface mean for deployment flexibility?
A: U.3 is a tri-mode interface standard that supports NVMe, SAS, and SATA protocols over the same physical connector. This means U.3 backplanes can accept NVMe drives like this PS1030 without requiring a dedicated NVMe-only bay, giving data centre administrators greater flexibility when mixing storage technologies.

Q: Is this drive suitable for database and virtualisation workloads?
A: Yes. The PS1030 is rated as Mixed Use, meaning it is designed to handle both sustained read-heavy and write-heavy workloads. This makes it well suited for SQL/NoSQL databases, VMware and Hyper-V virtualisation platforms, VDI deployments, and analytics applications that require consistently low latency.

Q: What is the difference between Mixed Use and Read Intensive SSDs?
A: Mixed Use SSDs like the PS1030 have higher write endurance (measured in Drive Writes Per Day, or DWPD) compared to Read Intensive drives. If your workload involves frequent write operations alongside reads — such as transactional databases or OLTP — Mixed Use is the appropriate class. Read Intensive drives are optimised for workloads where the vast majority of I/O is read-based.

Q: Can I purchase HPE drives like the P70426-B21 in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller supplying HPE server storage components including NVMe SSDs. Contact the team for pricing, volume availability, and compatibility guidance tailored to your HPE infrastructure.

Q: Does this SSD include HPE's drive monitoring and predictive failure features?
A: Yes. As an HPE-qualified drive, the PS1030 integrates with HPE iLO (Integrated Lights-Out) for real-time health monitoring and with HPE InfoSight for predictive analytics — helping administrators identify potential drive issues before they impact uptime.
