VK000960GXNZB is the OEM model number supplied in HPE option kit P47808-B21 for 960GB SATA 6G Read Intensive LFF LPC Multi Vendor SSD. It is the number printed on the drive label itself, so it is what you will read off a drive already installed in a server or pulled from a chassis. The drive is a 960GB hot-swap TLC solid state drive on a SATA 6Gb/s interface, mounted in an HPE Low Profile carrier for 3.5-inch LFF Low Profile bays. Because HPE ships this SSD as a multi vendor part, the label model number varies between builds while the option kit number stays constant.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT VK000960GXNZB
What is the difference between VK000960GXNZB, P47808-B21 and P48229-001?
They identify the same physical drive at different points in HPE's numbering. VK000960GXNZB, this page, is an OEM model number: the manufacturer's drive-level identifier found on the label. P47808-B21 is the option kit number used to order the drive as a standalone product. P48229-001 is the spare part number used for service replacement. This family also includes one assembly revision and eight OEM drive models, all listed in the cross-reference block on this page. An assembly part number identifies a factory-built drive and carrier combination.
VK000960GXNZB ships in several HPE option kits — which one do I need?
This drive is offered under P18424-B21, P40498-B21 and P47808-B21, all Read Intensive. The difference is the carrier. P18424-B21 uses the SC carrier and covers Gen8, Gen9 and Gen10 servers. P40498-B21 uses the BC carrier and covers Gen10, Gen11 and Gen12. P47808-B21, the kit matching this page, uses the LPC Low Profile carrier for 3.5-inch LFF Low Profile bays and covers Gen10 and Gen11. Check the compatibility list on each kit's page against your server model.
What performance and endurance should I expect from this drive?
The drive is rated at 58,500 IOPS for 4KB random reads and 29,000 IOPS for 4KB random writes. Internal data rates are 515 MBps read and 480 MBps write, with an external transfer rate of 600 MBps over the SATA 6Gb/s interface. Endurance is 1400 TB written, equivalent to 0.8 drive writes per day, which places it in the Read Intensive drive class for workloads dominated by reads.
Which servers accept this LPC carrier drive?
It fits 3.5-inch LFF Low Profile bays and is listed for 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 drive is 0.3 in high and hot-swap capable.
What are the power and firmware characteristics?
Power draw is 1.35 W at idle, 3.02 W during random read, random write and mixed random read/write, 3.05 W during sequential read and 3.37 W during sequential write, with a maximum of 3.37 W. The drive uses Digitally Signed Firmware, so the controller validates firmware images before they are applied. It connects through a single 7-pin Serial ATA port at 6 Gb/s.
