The HPE 480GB SATA 6Gbps Read Intensive SFF 2.5-inch Smart Carrier Solid State Drive (P18422-B21 / P18482-001) is an enterprise-class storage drive designed to accelerate read-heavy workloads, increase I/O throughput, and deliver steady reliability for HPE ProLiant rack and tower servers. Operating on a 6 Gb/s SATA interface, this Multi Vendor hot-pluggable SSD provides sequential read speeds up to 520 MiB/s and random read performance up to 65,000 IOPS, making it ideal for web servers, boot/swap volumes, read caching, and active archiving.
Built with digitally signed firmware (DS) and integrated hardware encryption, this solid-state drive protects systems against unauthorized access, malicious firmware modifications, and data corruption. The drive comes pre-installed in a 2.5-inch HPE Smart Carrier (SC) featuring LED status displays, drive activity rings, and a "do-not-remove" indicator light that prevents accidental drive pullouts during active rebuilds or hot-swap maintenance.
Available from DataDive, your trusted Technology Hardware Supplier in Qatar, this genuine HPE 480GB enterprise SSD is available in our Storage collection, ideal for server storage upgrades, data center node expansions, array replacements, and cloud infrastructure deployments across HPE ProLiant Gen8, Gen9, and Gen10 server platforms.
