Description

The HPE 9550 3.2TB NVMe Gen5 EDSFF E3.S Mixed Use SSD delivers high-bandwidth, low-latency storage for the most demanding enterprise workloads. Built on PCIe Gen5 technology with the compact EDSFF E3.S form factor, it supports up to 20 drives in a 1U server or 36 drives in a 2U server — dramatically increasing storage density over traditional 2.5" SFF SSDs. With approximately 3 DWPD endurance and SPDM security support, it is engineered for Big Data analytics, cloud computing, HPC, business intelligence, databases, and virtualisation deployments.

Qualified for HPE ProLiant, Apollo, and Synergy Gen11 and Gen12 servers, this SSD includes full data-path error detection, surprise power loss protection, and HPE Smart SSD Wear Gauge for remaining lifetime reporting. Its improved thermal design and power efficiency make it ideal for dense, high-I/O environments where performance and reliability cannot be compromised.

FAQs

Q: What servers is the HPE P77050-B21 9550 SSD compatible with?
A: The HPE P77050-B21 is qualified for use with HPE ProLiant, Apollo, and Synergy Gen11 and Gen12 servers that support the EDSFF E3.S (EC1) drive bay. Always verify compatibility using the HPE Single Point of Connectivity Knowledge (SPOCK) tool for your specific server model.

Q: What does 'Mixed Use' mean for this SSD?
A: Mixed Use (MU) means the drive is optimised for workloads that involve a balance of reads and writes — typically around 70% read and 30% write — at approximately 3 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) over 5 years. This makes it well-suited for databases, virtualisation, business intelligence, and general enterprise application workloads.

Q: What is the EDSFF E3.S form factor and why does it matter?
A: EDSFF (Enterprise and Datacenter Standard Form Factor) E3.S is a next-generation SSD form factor designed for high-density server environments. It enables significantly more drives per server rack unit than traditional 2.5" SFF SSDs — up to 20 in 1U and 36 in 2U — while also delivering improved thermals, better power management, and more efficient cabling.

Q: What is SPDM and how does it benefit my deployment?
A: SPDM (Security Protocol and Data Model) is an industry-standard security framework that allows secure identity verification and attestation of hardware components in the data path. On this SSD, SPDM support enables servers and management software to cryptographically verify the authenticity and integrity of the drive, reducing the risk of supply chain attacks.

Q: Can I purchase this HPE SSD in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) supplies authentic HPE hardware to Australian businesses, including the P77050-B21 9550 3.2TB NVMe Gen5 EDSFF E3.S SSD. Contact our team for pricing, availability, and compatibility advice tailored to your HPE server environment.

Q: Is there a difference between the -B21 and -K21 variants?
A: The -B21 suffix indicates compatibility across a broad range of HPE server family lines and is the standard option for most deployments. The -K21 variant may be intended for specific regional or channel configurations. Contact IP Trading to confirm which variant is correct for your server and procurement requirements.
