Description

The HPE 15.36TB NVMe Gen5 EDSFF E3.S SSD delivers exceptional read-intensive performance for enterprise deployments in databases, AI/ML, and high-performance computing workloads. Powered by the HPE CM7 controller over a PCIe Gen5 interface, it achieves up to 1.17M random read IOPS with ultra-low latency — a step-change over SAS and SATA SSDs. Its FIPS 140-3 compliant Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) technology ensures data-at-rest security for sensitive and regulated environments.

The EDSFF E3.S EC1 form factor enables dramatically higher storage density — up to 20 drives per 1U or 36 per 2U — while improving thermals and power efficiency at just 25W max draw. Hot-pluggable support and full data-path error detection ensure operational continuity. Compatible with HPE Compute Mainstream Platforms (refer to QuickSpecs for full compatibility). Visit iptrading.com.au to secure your order — enterprise-grade hardware with expert support.

Features

FAQs

Q: What workloads is the HPE P79122-B21 15.36TB NVMe Gen5 SSD optimised for?
A: This drive is optimised for read-intensive workloads including relational databases, AI/ML inference, web servers, read caching, and boot/swap applications — scenarios that demand high IOPS and low latency rather than heavy sustained writes.

Q: What is the EDSFF E3.S EC1 form factor and why does it matter?
A: EDSFF (Enterprise and Data Centre SSD Form Factor) E3.S is a next-generation drive form factor designed for high-density server deployments. The E3.S EC1 (thin, 7.5 mm) carrier enables up to 20 drives per 1U or 36 per 2U — far exceeding what traditional 2.5-inch U.2 drives can achieve in the same space.

Q: Is the P79122-B21 self-encrypting, and what compliance standard does it meet?
A: Yes. The drive includes Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) technology that is certified to FIPS 140-3, making it suitable for government, defence, financial, and healthcare environments with strict data-at-rest encryption requirements.

Q: Which HPE servers is the P79122-B21 compatible with?
A: This SSD is compatible with HPE Compute Mainstream Platforms that support EDSFF E3.S bays and NVMe Gen5. Refer to the HPE QuickSpecs document for the full list of supported server models and minimum firmware requirements.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE P79122-B21 in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller supplying HPE storage products with expert pre-sales support. Contact us for volume pricing, compatibility advice, and fast fulfilment.

Q: What is the endurance rating and lifetime write capacity of this SSD?
A: The P79122-B21 is rated at 1.0 Drive Writes Per Day (DWPD) with a total lifetime write endurance of 28,032 TBW — appropriate for read-dominant workloads where write activity is moderate.
