Description

The HPE 30.72TB NVMe PCIe Gen5 EDSFF E3.S Read Intensive SSD (PM9D3a) delivers exceptional storage density and throughput for databases, cloud compute, containers, and hyperscale environments. Leveraging the EDSFF E3.S form factor with PCIe Gen5 bandwidth, it achieves higher IOPS and lower latency than traditional 2.5-inch NVMe or SAS/SATA SSDs — supporting up to 20 drives in 1U or 36 drives in 2U HPE server configurations. SPDM (Security Protocol and Data Model) support and HPE Digitally Signed Firmware provide enhanced drive-level security and firmware integrity.

This drive is rigorously HPE-qualified for server firmware and OS compatibility, ensuring reliable deployment across HPE ProLiant and Synergy platforms. Optimised for read-intensive workloads including read caching, web serving, boot/swap, and large-scale database operations, it combines high performance with improved power efficiency.

FAQs

Q: What is the EDSFF E3.S form factor and how does it differ from standard 2.5-inch NVMe SSDs?
A: EDSFF (Enterprise and Datacenter SSD Form Factor) E3.S is a next-generation drive form factor designed for high-density server deployments. Compared to traditional 2.5-inch SFF NVMe SSDs, E3.S drives offer dramatically higher storage density — up to 20 drives in a 1U server or 36 in a 2U server — along with improved thermals, power management, and support for PCIe Gen5 bandwidth, which is exclusive to this form factor in HPE's lineup.

Q: What workloads is this 30.72TB SSD best suited for?
A: This drive is optimised for read-intensive workloads including read caching, web servers, boot and swap partitions, large relational databases, containerised applications, and hyperscale cloud compute environments where high IOPS and low read latency are critical.

Q: What does SPDM support mean for this drive?
A: SPDM (Security Protocol and Data Model) is an industry-standard security framework that enables authenticated, secure communication between the host and the drive. It provides enhanced drive-level security, supporting identity verification and integrity checking of the storage device within the server infrastructure.

Q: Is this SSD compatible with my HPE ProLiant server?
A: The P78923-B21 (-B21 suffix) is qualified for specific HPE server families. HPE also offers -H21 and -K21 variants for different server lines. This drive has been rigorously HPE-qualified to ensure compatibility with server firmware and operating systems. Contact iptrading.com.au to confirm compatibility with your specific HPE server model.

Q: Can I purchase this HPE SSD in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. iptrading.com.au is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller stocking HPE server storage options including EDSFF E3.S NVMe SSDs. We deliver across Australia with competitive pricing for business customers. Shop online or contact our team for volume pricing and availability.

Q: How does HPE Digitally Signed Firmware protect this drive?
A: HPE Digitally Signed Firmware ensures that only HPE-authorised firmware can be loaded onto the drive. This prevents unauthorised or malicious firmware modifications, protecting data integrity and maintaining the security posture of your storage infrastructure throughout the drive's lifecycle.
