Consolidating Storage With 3.84TB SSDs

High-capacity Mixed Use SSDs let you replace racks of spinning disks with a handful of drives. For example, eight P00896-B21 drives in RAID 6 provide around 23TB of usable flash in a single 2U server, enough for many mid-sized virtual environments.

If your workload is mostly reads, the Read Intensive HPE 877764-B21 offers the same capacity at a lower cost per terabyte. For SAS connectivity, see the HPE P02763-003 3.84TB SAS SSD.
