Main features: Read intensive design: Performance features are highly biased towards read optimization, providing extremely high read throughput and bandwidth, and write performance meets basic requirements. 

Cost effectiveness king: It has extremely high cost-effectiveness in the HPE NVMe product line and is the most cost-effective solution for deploying large-scale read scenarios. 

Basic enterprise level functionality: equipped with basic data path protection and ECC error correction. Note: As an entry-level enterprise drive, it is typically not equipped with advanced onboard power outage protection (PLP) capacitor arrays, and its data security relies more on the overall design of HPE server platforms. 

HPE Genuine Guarantee: As an original component of HPE, it provides out of the box compatibility and reliability for server platforms such as HPE ProLiant and Synergy, and supports monitoring and management through iLO. 

Low power consumption: Excellent energy efficiency, helping to reduce the operating costs and carbon emissions of data centers.

Applicable scenarios and applications

This hard drive is an ideal choice for pure read intensive applications, with typical scenarios including:

Content Delivery Network (CDN) and Streaming Media: Store and accelerate the transmission of static content such as videos, audio, software update packages, etc.

Web servers and caching proxies: Quickly load web pages, images, and scripts, significantly improving website responsiveness.

Database read-only replica or report repository: Create dedicated instances for querying and generating reports for large databases such as SQL Server and Oracle, greatly reducing the pressure on the main repository.

Virtualization host boot volume: serves as the boot driver for VMware iPadOS or Microsoft Hyper-V, enabling fast boot and efficient management.

Enterprise VDI boot image storage: In virtual desktop architecture, quickly read and distribute the same operating system image to a large number of users.

Fast access layer for archived data: providing access speeds several orders of magnitude faster than traditional hard drives (HDDs) for infrequently modified "warm data".

Summary of Advantages

Unparalleled cost-effectiveness: With a cost close to high-end SATA SSDs, it provides NVMe level ultimate read performance and a very high return on investment (ROI).

Excellent read performance: With a sequential read speed of up to 3.2 GB/s and 500000 random read IOPS, it can completely eliminate read bottlenecks.

Low power consumption and green energy saving: Lower operating power consumption helps build more environmentally friendly and economical data centers.

Seamless HPE Integration: As an original HPE accessory, it can be seamlessly integrated into the HPE server ecosystem, ensuring drive free compatibility and monitoring and management through iLO.

Sufficient durability: The durability of DWPD is completely sufficient for its target workload (read intensive), ensuring reliable operation during the warranty period.
