HPE P36509-001 (KIOXIA) 960GB NVMe SSD Enterprise Solid State Drive Product Introduction

Product Overview

     HPE P36509-001 (disk body made by Kioxia, formerly Toshiba Storage) is a high-performance, high durability enterprise grade NVMe solid-state drive. It represents the collaboration between HPE and Kioxia, designed specifically for handling mixed workloads, providing an excellent balance between read and write performance. This hard drive is suitable for enterprise level applications, virtualization environments, and database systems that require sustained high performance and excellent reliability.

1. Core features and specifications

Capacity: 960 Gigabytes (GB)

     Standard enterprise level capacity points ensure long-term performance stability and durability through additional over provisioning.

Interface and Protocol: NVMe 1.3 over PCIe 3.1 x4 Lanes

     Provide high-performance PCIe channels to ensure low latency and high-throughput data access.

Form Factor: 2.5 inches U.2 (SFF-8639)

     Adopting a standard 2.5-inch hard drive appearance, it can be installed into the server's standard 2.5-inch hot swappable disk slots (requiring the server backplane to support NVMe protocol).

    Performance indicators (typical values):

   Continuous reading speed: up to 3200 MB/s

Continuous write speed: up to 2100 MB/s

Random read IOPS (4K): up to 500000

Random write IOPS (4K): up to 80000

    Note: Performance varies depending on server configuration, drivers, and workload.

Durability and reliability:

     DWPD (Daily Whole Disk Write Count): Typically 1.0-1.5 (within the 5-year warranty period). This means that during the 5-year warranty period, 960GB * 1.0=960GB of data can be written daily.

      TBW (maximum number of bytes that can be written): 1.75-2.63 Petabytes (PB)

Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF): 2000000 hours

    NAND flash type: BiCS FLASH TLC 3D NAND Adopting advanced 3D flash technology from Kaixia, it provides the best balance between capacity, performance, and durability.

2. Advanced features

    Enterprise Power Protection (PLP): Integrated power-off protection function ensures that data in cache will not be lost in case of unexpected power failure, ensuring data integrity.

    End to end data protection: Implement protection mechanisms throughout the entire data path to prevent silent errors during data transmission.

    HPE exclusive firmware and integration: Pre flashed HPE intelligent firmware, deeply integrated with the iLO management engine of HPE ProLiant servers, achieving out of the box compatibility, simplified deployment, and centralized monitoring.

3. Typical application scenarios

   This NVMe SSD is optimized for the following enterprise level applications:

Enterprise level databases: Oracle, SQL Server, SAP HANA and other database systems

Virtualization platforms: VMware HANA, Microsoft Hyper-V, and other virtualization environments

    Software Defined Storage (SDS): A High Speed Storage Layer as a Software Defined Storage Solution

    High performance computing: scientific computing and engineering applications that require high-speed data access

   Cloud Infrastructure: Basic Storage Devices for Public and Private Cloud Platforms

4. Compatibility

   Server platform: HPE servers that require NVMe enabled backplanes.

   For example, HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10, DL380 Gen10, DL325 Gen10 Plus, DL385 Gen10 Plus and other models.
