Description

The HPE P84244-B21 is a 3.84TB NVMe Gen4 U.3 Small Form Factor (SFF) Solid State Drive designed for mainstream performance read-intensive workloads in HPE ProLiant and Synergy servers. Built on the PCIe Gen4 interface and featuring the U.3 universal bay connector with Basic Carrier (BC) support, this drive delivers high sequential read throughput and low latency suited to analytics, content delivery, and data warehousing environments. The SPDM (Security Protocol and Data Model) capability provides firmware authentication and supply chain integrity verification for enterprise-grade security compliance.

As part of the HPE 7500 SSD series, the P84244-B21 is optimised for read-intensive duty cycles and is compatible with HPE Smart Array controllers and iLO management, enabling seamless integration into existing HPE infrastructure. The U.3 interface allows flexible deployment across NVMe and SAS/SATA-capable backplanes where supported.

Features

- PCIe Gen4 NVMe interface for high throughput and low latency storage performance
- U.3 universal bay connector supports flexible multi-protocol backplane compatibility
- Read Intensive (RI) optimisation for workloads with predominantly read operations
- SPDM firmware authentication for supply chain security and compliance
- Basic Carrier (BC) design for tool-less hot-plug installation in compatible HPE servers
- Mainstream Performance tier balances cost efficiency with enterprise-grade reliability
- Seamless integration with HPE iLO, OneView, and ProLiant server management stack
- 3.84TB capacity suits high-density read caching and warm data storage tiers

FAQs

Q: What workloads is the HPE P84244-B21 SSD optimised for?
A: This drive is a Read Intensive (RI) SSD, making it ideal for workloads with predominantly read operations such as data analytics, business intelligence, content serving, database reads, and virtualisation environments with high read-to-write ratios (typically 70:30 or greater).

Q: What does U.3 interface mean and which HPE servers support it?
A: U.3 is a multi-protocol universal bay standard that supports NVMe, SAS, and SATA drives in the same physical backplane slot. It is supported on HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus and Gen11 servers with U.3-capable backplanes, providing flexible drive deployment.

Q: What is SPDM and why does it matter for enterprise deployments?
A: SPDM (Security Protocol and Data Model) is a firmware authentication standard that allows HPE iLO to verify the identity and integrity of the drive's firmware and supply chain. This is important for organisations with strict security compliance requirements, helping prevent firmware tampering.

Q: Is this SSD compatible with HPE Smart Array controllers?
A: As an NVMe drive, the P84244-B21 connects directly to the PCIe fabric rather than through a traditional Smart Array RAID controller. It is managed via HPE's NVMe-compatible storage infrastructure and supported within HPE's iLO and OneView management ecosystem.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE P84244-B21 in Australia?
A: Yes. The HPE P84244-B21 3.84TB NVMe Gen4 U.3 SSD is available from iptrading.com.au with competitive pricing and local Australian support. Contact our team for volume pricing and availability.

Q: How does this drive differ from an SAS or SATA SSD?
A: NVMe Gen4 delivers significantly higher throughput and lower latency compared to SAS or SATA SSDs. PCIe Gen4 NVMe drives can achieve sequential read speeds multiple times faster than SAS SSDs, making the P84244-B21 well-suited for performance-critical server storage tiers.
