HPE MK000960GWUGH 960GB SATA 6G 2.5 SSD HDD

MK000960GWUGH is a model identifier found on HPE-qualified 960GB SATA 6Gb/s Mixed Use solid-state drives. It is useful when a technician is working from the label on the SSD rather than an HPE option carton or server parts list. The same model appears in more than one HPE commercial assembly and carrier arrangement, including P18442-002 and P07444-002 families. MK000960GWUGH should therefore identify the underlying drive family first, followed by the assembly, spare and carrier required by the server.

Start with the Label, Then Identify the Assembly

When MK000960GWUGH is the visible number, it confirms a 960GB SATA enterprise SSD model used in HPE Mixed Use configurations. The next step is determining how that drive is packaged for the system.

Core Model Characteristics

Why One Model Leads to Several HPE Part Numbers

HPE qualifies underlying SSD models and supplies them under commercial option, spare and assembly references. P18442-002 is one SFF Smart Carrier assembly associated with MK000960GWUGH. P07444-002 is another assembly found around the same model and can appear with different carrier contexts.

Capacity Alone Can Mislead

Several HPE drive families offer 960GB, but they can differ in workload rating, firmware qualification and carrier. Searching only for “960GB SATA SSD” may return parts intended for a different service context. The model number narrows the search, while the HPE assembly and spare complete the identification.

Mixed Use versus Read Intensive

The HPE P41074-001 480GB SATA RI SSD is designed for lighter write activity. MK000960GWUGH belongs to Mixed Use offerings, aligning it with applications that perform a more balanced mix of reads and writes.

When More Capacity Is Needed

The HPE P41095-001 1.92TB SATA Mixed Use SSD provides twice the headline capacity. If the requirement calls for SAS, the HPE P49746-001 1.6TB SAS Mixed Use SSD uses a 12Gb/s SAS interface and Smart Carrier.

Model Numbers Help with Firmware Records

Keeping the physical model in an asset record can help identify installed media during future service or firmware work. This complements the option or spare number used by procurement, especially in multi-vendor HPE storage families.

New and Refurbished Model-Matched SSDs

New MK000960GWUGH drives can suit replacements where the same qualified model is desired. Refurbished units may suit established HPE systems, but carrier, firmware, health and warranty need to match the offered item. Remaining SSD life cannot be inferred from the original model specification alone.

Controller and Platform Support Still Apply

A SATA interface does not make the drive universal. Backplane, carrier, controller and supported drive list matter. Newer platforms may use the HPE P47952-001 MR416i-o controller, but drive support should be established for the final configuration.

Model-Level Records Help in Mixed-Vendor Estates

Enterprise environments can contain several HPE-qualified SSD models under similar commercial descriptions. Recording MK000960GWUGH alongside the HPE option, spare and assembly numbers gives engineers another way to identify what is physically installed. This can be valuable when comparing firmware levels, investigating a drive alert or replacing media in a system whose original purchasing records are incomplete.

Mixed Use Is a Workload Description

The Mixed Use classification does not mean the drive must receive equal reads and writes. It indicates an endurance and performance profile intended for applications with more write activity than a typical Read Intensive workload. Reviewing actual application behaviour remains useful, especially when choosing between a replacement from the same family and a different SSD class during a planned refresh.

Carrier Identification Completes the Picture

The underlying 2.5-inch model is only part of a bay-ready HPE drive. The carrier or converter determines how it mounts in the server, while the HPE commercial reference helps establish the supported product family. Keeping these details together avoids a common parts problem where the correct SSD model arrives in the wrong physical carrier for the available bay.

For procurement, the model number can therefore begin the search, but the final order should be tied back to the required HPE assembly and carrier. That keeps the physical installation requirement visible alongside the underlying SSD identity.

Find the Correct Configuration

Euroland IT Store can help trace MK000960GWUGH to the relevant HPE assembly and carrier and source New or Refurbished enterprise storage where available.
