Frequently Asked Questions

What is Samsung V-NAND and how does it benefit enterprise SSDs?

Samsung V-NAND (Vertical NAND) stacks memory cells vertically rather than horizontally, enabling higher storage density, lower power consumption, and improved endurance compared to planar NAND. In enterprise SSDs, V-NAND TLC provides high-capacity, cost-effective flash storage with better endurance characteristics than conventional planar TLC.

What is the difference between Smart Carrier and Basic Carrier?

Smart Carrier includes LED status indicators (activity, fault) that are visible from the front of the server without opening the chassis — enabling faster fault identification in rack environments. Basic Carrier is a simpler form factor without LEDs. Smart Carrier is recommended for production environments where drive health visibility is important.

Is P42498-001 compatible with Gen10 (non-Plus) servers?

P42498-001 is validated for Gen10 Plus and Gen11. Compatibility with standard Gen10 depends on SAS controller and backplane support for SAS 24Gb/s. SAS 24Gb/s drives are backward compatible with SAS 12Gb/s controllers at reduced speed — verify with HPE Gen10 QuickSpecs before installation.

The HPE P42498-001 960GB SAS 24Gb/s read-intensive V-NAND TLC enterprise SSD with Smart Carrier delivers high-performance flash storage for HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus and Gen11. Order today — in stock at the lowest price.
