Do you need to accelerate the performance of your read-intensive applications? HPE NVMe Read Intensive (RI) Enterprise and Datacenter Standard Form Factor (EDSFF) E3.S Solid State Drives (SSDs) with standard performance are best suited for applications that require a strong mix of read-intensive IOPS, low latency, and long lifespan at a compelling price. NVMe SSDs communicate directly with applications over the PCIe bus to increase I/O bandwidth and reduce latency. The HPE NVMe EDSFF E3.S SSD with standard performance replaces the traditional 2.5-inch small form factor SSD while supporting a higher density of NVMe drives. They provide powerful data transfers at a higher speed than SAS or SATA SSDs. Designed to leverage the high bandwidth of PCIe Gen5 with selected servers for read-intensive workloads such as read cache, web servers, and boot/swap.
