FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT VK000960GXAWL
What is the difference between VK000960GXAWL, P47808-B21 and P48229-001?
All three identify the same physical drive. VK000960GXAWL, this page, is an OEM drive model number — the identifier the drive manufacturer puts on the label, which is what you see when you pull the drive. P47808-B21 is the HPE option kit, the orderable part with the Low Profile carrier. P48229-001 is the HPE spare part number. The same product also has one assembly revision and eight OEM drive models; an assembly part number identifies a factory build revision. All are listed in the cross-reference block on this page.
VK000960GXAWL ships in several HPE option kits — which one do I need?
This drive ships under P18424-B21, P19939-B21, P40498-B21 and P47808-B21, all read intensive. The carrier differs: P47808-B21 uses the LPC Low Profile carrier for 3.5-inch LFF Low Profile bays and covers Gen10 and Gen11; P40498-B21 uses a BC carrier and covers Gen10, Gen11 and Gen12; P18424-B21 and P19939-B21 both use SC carriers and cover Gen8, Gen9 and Gen10. Between those two SC kits, check the compatibility list on each kit's page to match your server.
Which servers accept VK000960GXAWL in its Low Profile carrier?
Supported platforms include the DL20 Gen10 Plus, DL160 Gen10, DL180 Gen10, DL320 Gen11, DL325 Gen10 Plus, DL325 Gen10 Plus V2, DL325 Gen11, DL345 Gen10 Plus, DL345 Gen11, DL360 Gen10 Plus, DL360 Gen11, DL365 Gen10 Plus, DL365 Gen11, DL380 Gen10 Plus, DL380 Gen11, DL385 Gen10 Plus, DL385 Gen10 Plus V2, DL385 Gen11, ML30 Gen10 Plus, ML110 Gen10, ML350 Gen10 and ML350 Gen11. The bay must be a 3.5-inch LFF Low Profile bay.
What workload is VK000960GXAWL rated for?
It is a read intensive class drive rated at 0.8 drive writes per day with total endurance of 1400 TB written. Random performance is 58,500 IOPS on 4KB reads against 29,000 IOPS on 4KB writes, so it suits read-dominant workloads such as boot volumes, content serving and analytics reads rather than sustained heavy write duty. The SATA interface transfers at 6 Gb/s, 600 MBps external.
What does VK000960GXAWL draw in power?
Idle draw is 1.35 W. Random read, random write and mixed random read/write operations each draw 3.02 W. Sequential read is 3.05 W and sequential write is 3.37 W, which is also the maximum figure. These numbers are useful when totalling drive load across a fully populated LFF chassis.
