Description

The HPE P79122-B21 is a 15.36TB read-intensive NVMe Gen5 SSD in the hot-plug EDSFF E3.S (EC1) form factor, built on the CM7 controller for HPE ProLiant Gen11 and Gen12 servers. It is a self-encrypting drive with FIPS 140-3 validation, delivering PCIe 5.0 performance for read-heavy workloads such as databases, AI/ML and analytics.

Rated at 1 DWPD with TLC NAND and a single port, the drive reaches up to 12,520 MiB/s sequential read and 5,337 MiB/s sequential write. The 7.5 mm E3.S design improves thermals, power and scalability, and full data-path error detection helps maintain data accuracy.
