Description

The HPE 7.68TB NVMe Gen5 E3.S EDSFF Solid State Drive is purpose-built for enterprise read-heavy workloads including databases, cloud compute, web servers, read caching, and hyperscale environments. Leveraging the PCIe Gen5 interface in the compact E3.S EC1 EDSFF form factor, this Samsung PM9D3a-based drive delivers higher sequential read throughput and greater NVMe drive density than traditional 2.5-inch or PCIe Gen4 alternatives — fitting up to 20 drives in a 1U HPE ProLiant Gen11 server.

Engineered for mainstream performance at a competitive price point, the drive features full data-path error detection, improved thermals, enhanced power management, and SPDM (Security Protocol and Data Model) support for secure drive-to-host attestation. Compatible with HPE ProLiant Gen11 and later servers, it integrates seamlessly into HPE's storage ecosystem. Order direct from iptrading.com.au — Australian-owned and operated since 2001.

Features

- PCIe Gen5 interface delivers higher bandwidth than Gen4 — exclusive to EDSFF E3.S SSDs
- E3.S EDSFF form factor replaces traditional 2.5-inch SSDs with significantly greater NVMe drive density
- Full data-path error detection ensures data accuracy under sustained high I/O loads
- SPDM support enables secure drive-to-host attestation for enhanced platform security
- Improved thermals and power management for better system efficiency at scale
- Optimised for read-heavy workloads: read caching, web servers, boot/swap, databases, and cloud compute
- Higher sequential read throughput than previous PCIe Gen4 E3.S SSDs
- Seamlessly integrates with HPE ProLiant Gen11 server ecosystem and HPE iLO management

FAQs

Q: What servers are compatible with the HPE P78919-B21 7.68TB NVMe Gen5 E3.S SSD?
A: The HPE P78919-B21 is compatible with HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers and later models that support the E3.S EC1 EDSFF drive form factor and PCIe Gen5 NVMe interface. Always verify compatibility with HPE's Server Memory and Storage Configurator for your specific server model.

Q: What is the EDSFF E3.S form factor and how does it differ from a standard 2.5-inch SSD?
A: EDSFF (Enterprise and Datacenter Standard Form Factor) E3.S is a next-generation drive form factor designed for hyperscale and enterprise data centres. It offers higher NVMe drive density than traditional 2.5-inch SSDs — up to 20 drives per 1U server — along with improved thermals, power management, and support for PCIe Gen5 speeds not available in legacy form factors.

Q: What workloads is this drive optimised for?
A: The HPE PM9D3a Read Intensive SSD is designed for read-heavy enterprise workloads including read caching, web serving, boot and swap volumes, databases, cloud compute, containers, and hyperscale environments where high read IOPS and low latency are critical.

Q: What does SPDM support mean for this SSD?
A: SPDM (Security Protocol and Data Model) enables secure cryptographic attestation between the drive and the host server, verifying the drive's authenticity and integrity. This is important for organisations with strict security and compliance requirements in their data centre infrastructure.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE P78919-B21 in Australia, and how quickly can I get it?
A: Yes. IP Trading is an Australian-owned and operated IT hardware reseller (since 2001) and stocks HPE server components including E3.S NVMe SSDs. You can order directly at iptrading.com.au. Contact our team for availability, lead times, and volume pricing.

Q: How does the PCIe Gen5 interface compare to Gen4 for this drive?
A: PCIe Gen5 doubles the available bandwidth per lane compared to Gen4, resulting in higher sequential read throughput and improved performance for latency-sensitive enterprise applications. The HPE PM9D3a Gen5 E3.S SSD delivers measurably faster data transfers than its PCIe Gen4 predecessors, making it a significant upgrade for read-intensive workload environments.
