The drive also comes bundled with an HPE Smart Carrier NVMe, providing a supported carrier solution for compatible HPE server configurations.

Its Read Intensive workload classification makes it suitable for applications that perform a high volume of read operations and require responsive storage performance.

Form Factor & Installation

The HPE P13695-B21 uses a 2.5-inch SFF form factor and is designed as a hot-swap solid state drive.

The drive uses a PCI Express 3.0 x4 NVMe storage interface. Because NVMe drives require compatible PCIe connectivity and server backplane infrastructure, compatibility should be verified before installation.

Ensure that the target HPE server supports the required NVMe backplane, 2.5-inch SFF drive bay, PCIe connectivity, and firmware configuration.

Compatibility

The HPE P13695-B21 is designed for use with compatible HPE ProLiant server configurations that support 2.5-inch PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe storage.

Compatibility depends on the exact server model, server generation, drive cage, NVMe backplane, PCIe configuration, and firmware. Not every HPE server with a 2.5-inch drive bay supports NVMe drives.

Always verify the complete server configuration before purchasing or installing this SSD.
