Overview

Do you need to accelerate the performance of your read intensive applications? HPE SAS Read Intensive (RI) Solid State Drives (SSDs) deliver enterprise features at an affordable price for applications requiring high read IOPS performance. HPE 12Gb Enterprise SAS RI SSDs transfer data at full duplex (bidirectional) allowing greater I/O bandwidth to alleviate bottlenecks at twice the 6Gb interface of SATA drives. HPE 12Gb SAS RI SSDs are best suited for mission-critical enterprise applications requiring a strong blend of high read IOPS and low latency. HPE 12Gb Enterprise SAS RI SSDs are ideal for read caching, social media, web servers and boot/swap workloads. SAS technology continues to be the interface of choice for many workloads for its reliability and 24×7 operation in the enterprise data center. HPE SSDs are backed by over 3 million hours of testing and qualification [1] ensuring reliable, high performing drives.
