Description

The HPE 30.72TB NVMe PCIe Gen5 EDSFF E3.S Self-Encrypting SSD is built for databases, cloud compute, containers, and hyperscale workloads demanding maximum read IOPS and low latency. Using the compact E3.S (EC1) form factor, it replaces traditional 2.5-inch SFF drives while dramatically increasing NVMe drive density — up to 20 drives in a 1U server or 36 in a 2U server. PCIe Gen5 delivers data transfer rates well beyond SAS or SATA, and hardware Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) technology ensures data security without performance compromise.

Based on the Samsung PM9D3a drive, this SSD features full data-path error detection, improved thermals, and optimised power management for sustained performance in high I/O environments. Compatible with HPE ProLiant Gen11 and Gen12 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 data transfer rates far exceeding SAS or SATA SSDs
- EDSFF E3.S form factor replaces 2.5-inch SFF drives with significantly higher density per rack unit
- Hardware Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) protects data at rest without impacting performance
- Full data-path error detection for improved data integrity in mission-critical environments
- Optimised for read-intensive workloads: databases, cloud compute, containers, and hyperscale deployments
- Improved thermals and power management sustain performance under high I/O loads
- Compatible with HPE ProLiant Gen11 and Gen12 server platforms
- Available in a range of capacities: 1.92 TB, 3.84 TB, 7.68 TB, 15.36 TB, and 30.72 TB

Warranty

FAQs

Q: What servers is the HPE P79147-B21 SSD compatible with?
A: This SSD is compatible with HPE ProLiant Gen11 and Gen12 servers that support the EDSFF E3.S (EC1) drive form factor and NVMe PCIe Gen5 connectivity.

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 Data Centre SSD Form Factor) E3.S is a compact, thermally efficient drive format designed for high-density NVMe deployments. It allows up to 20 drives in a 1U server and 36 in a 2U server — significantly more than traditional 2.5-inch SFF configurations — while also improving power management and airflow.

Q: Does this SSD include hardware encryption, and does encryption impact performance?
A: Yes, the P79147-B21 is a Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) with hardware-based AES encryption. Because encryption is handled in hardware, there is no measurable impact on read/write performance compared to a non-encrypting equivalent.

Q: Is this drive suitable for virtualisation and cloud workloads?
A: Yes. The read-intensive, mainstream performance designation makes it well suited for databases, virtualised environments, cloud compute, container platforms, and hyperscale infrastructure where high read IOPS and low latency are priorities.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE P79147-B21 in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading is an Australian-owned and operated IT hardware reseller, in business since 2001. You can order the HPE P79147-B21 directly from iptrading.com.au with local support and fulfilment.

Q: Are other capacities available in this SSD family?
A: Yes. The HPE NVMe Gen5 Mainstream Performance Read Intensive EDSFF E3.S SSD family is available in 1.92 TB, 3.84 TB, 7.68 TB, 15.36 TB, and 30.72 TB capacities, with both standard and self-encrypting variants across the range.
