869388-H21 Overview

The 869388-H21 HPE 1.6TB SATA 6Gbps 3.5-inch DS Smart Carrier Converter Read Intensive SSD is a large-form-factor enterprise drive designed for read-intensive workloads. It uses a SATA 6Gbps interface and delivers stable, reliable performance for applications that require high read throughput with lower write activity. The drive comes in a 3.5-inch LFF design but is actually built on a 2.5-inch SSD paired with an HPE Smart Carrier Converter, allowing it to fit LFF bays while still providing smart carrier features such as LED indicators, health monitoring, and hot-swap capabilities. It uses Read Intensive NAND optimized for longevity under read-heavy operations and carries Default Sector (DS/512e) formatting for broad server compatibility.
