FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT VK000960GYCNK
What is the difference between VK000960GYCNK, P47808-B21 and P48229-001?
All three identify the same physical drive. VK000960GYCNK, the subject of this page, is an OEM model number — the manufacturer's own identifier printed on the drive label. P47808-B21 is the HPE option kit number used when ordering the drive with its Low Profile carrier. P48229-001 is the HPE spare part number used for service replacement. The same family also includes one assembly revision and eight further OEM drive models; an assembly number identifies a build-level revision of the drive and carrier. All are listed in the cross-reference block on this page.
VK000960GYCNK ships in several HPE option kits — which one do I need?
This drive ships under P18424-B21, P40498-B21 and P47808-B21. All three are Read Intensive line kits, and the difference is the carrier and the generations covered. 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 uses the LPC carrier and supports Gen10 and Gen11. Match the carrier to your chassis bay, then confirm your exact model against the compatibility list on that kit's page.
What bay and servers does VK000960GYCNK fit?
The drive is supplied on an HPE Low Profile carrier and fits 3.5" LFF Low Profile bays, with a height of 0.3 in. Listed compatible servers include the DL20 Gen10 Plus, DL160 Gen10, DL180 Gen10, DL320 Gen11, DL325 Gen10 Plus and Gen10 Plus V2, DL325 Gen11, DL345 Gen10 Plus and Gen11, DL360 Gen10 Plus and Gen11, DL365 Gen10 Plus and Gen11, DL380 Gen10 Plus and Gen11, DL385 Gen10 Plus, Gen10 Plus V2 and Gen11, ML30 Gen10 Plus, ML110 Gen10, ML350 Gen10 and ML350 Gen11.
What endurance and workload is this drive rated for?
VK000960GYCNK is a Read Intensive class drive using triple-level cell (TLC) NAND. It is rated at 0.8 drive writes per day with 1400 TB of total endurance, which suits read-heavy workloads rather than sustained write-intensive use. Random performance is 58,500 IOPS on 4KB reads and 29,000 IOPS on 4KB writes. Power draw is 1.35 W at idle and 3.37 W maximum, measured during sequential write.
What does "Multi Vendor" mean for VK000960GYCNK?
HPE lists this SSD as a Multi Vendor part, meaning HPE sources the drive from more than one manufacturer under a single option kit. Each source has its own OEM model number, which is why this family includes eight OEM drive models alongside VK000960GYCNK. All of them meet the same published specification: 960GB, SATA 6Gb/s, TLC, Read Intensive, 0.8 DWPD and 1400 TB endurance, with digitally signed firmware.
