VK000960GXWBP is the OEM model number supplied in HPE option kit P47808-B21 for 960GB SATA 6G Read Intensive LFF LPC Multi Vendor SSD. If you have pulled a drive and read VK000960GXWBP from the label, you are looking at a 960GB 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. It is a hot-swap, read intensive class drive rated at 0.8 drive writes per day and 1400 TB total endurance, with digitally signed firmware. Because HPE ships this SSD as a multi vendor part, the OEM model number on the label varies between physically identical drives.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT VK000960GXWBP
What is the difference between VK000960GXWBP, P47808-B21 and P48229-001?
VK000960GXWBP, the subject of this page, is an OEM drive model number: the identifier the drive manufacturer prints on the label. P47808-B21 is the HPE option kit, the orderable part number for the drive with its Low Profile carrier. P48229-001 is the HPE spare part number used for service replacement. All three refer to the same physical 960GB SATA 6G read intensive SSD. This family also includes one assembly revision, an internal build-level identifier, and eight OEM drive models, all listed in the cross-reference block on this page.
VK000960GXWBP ships in several HPE option kits — which one do I need?
This drive ships under P18424-B21, P40498-B21 and P47808-B21, all read intensive. They differ by carrier and server generation coverage. P18424-B21 uses the SC carrier and supports Gen8, Gen9 and Gen10. P40498-B21 uses the BC carrier and supports Gen10, Gen11 and Gen12. P47808-B21, the kit matching this page, uses the LPC Low Profile carrier and supports Gen10 and Gen11. Match the carrier type to your server's drive bays, then confirm against the compatibility list on the kit page.
What are the performance and endurance figures for this drive?
The SATA 6Gb/s interface gives an external transfer rate of 600 MBps. Internal data rates are 515 MBps read and 480 MBps write. Random 4KB performance is 58,500 IOPS read and 29,000 IOPS write, consistent with a read intensive drive class. Endurance is rated at 0.8 drive writes per day and 1400 TB written over the drive's rated life, which suits boot volumes, read-heavy databases and content repositories rather than write-intensive workloads.
Which servers accept this drive in the LPC carrier?
The LPC configuration fits 3.5-inch LFF Low Profile bays. Supported platforms include 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.
What is the power draw and physical profile of this SSD?
The drive is 0.3 in high and ships bundled with the HPE Low Profile carrier for 3.5-inch LFF Low Profile bays. Power consumption 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, which is also the maximum figure. Use 3.37 W per drive when calculating enclosure power and thermal budgets.
