VK000960GZXQU is the OEM model number supplied in HPE option kit P47808-B21 for 960GB SATA 6G Read Intensive LFF LPC Multi Vendor SSD. HPE sources this drive from multiple vendors, so the model number printed on the label varies between shipments while the kit-level specification stays the same: 960GB of TLC NAND on a SATA 6Gb/s interface, in a 3.5-inch Low Profile Carrier that is 0.3 in high. The drive is hot-swap capable, carries digitally signed firmware, and is rated at 0.8 drive writes per day for 1400 TB of total endurance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT VK000960GZXQU
What is the difference between VK000960GZXQU, P47808-B21 and P48229-001?
All three identify the same physical drive. VK000960GZXQU, the subject of this page, is an OEM model number: the manufacturer's identifier reported by firmware and printed on the drive label. P47808-B21 is the HPE option kit part number used when ordering the drive with its Low Profile carrier. 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 build revision of the drive and carrier.
VK000960GZXQU ships in several HPE option kits — which one do I need?
This drive ships under P18424-B21, P40498-B21, P44008-B21, P47808-B21 and P47811-B21, all Read Intensive. The difference is the carrier and the generations supported. P47808-B21 uses the LPC (Low Profile) carrier for Gen10 and Gen11. P18424-B21 and P47811-B21 use the SC carrier for Gen8, Gen9 and Gen10. P40498-B21 and P44008-B21 use the BC carrier for Gen10, Gen11 and Gen12. Within each carrier pair, check the compatibility list on each kit's page against your server model.
Which servers accept this drive?
The LPC carrier version fits 3.5-inch Low Profile bays in 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.
What performance and endurance does this drive deliver?
The SATA 6Gb/s interface gives an external transfer rate of 600 MBps. Internal data rates are 515 MBps read and 480 MBps write, with 58,500 IOPS on 4KB random reads and 29,000 IOPS on 4KB random writes. As a Read Intensive class drive it is rated at 0.8 drive writes per day with 1400 TB of endurance, which suits read-dominant workloads rather than sustained heavy write activity.
What does the Multi Vendor designation mean for my system?
HPE qualifies more than one NAND supplier for this 960GB Read Intensive SKU, so the OEM model number reported by a given drive may differ from the one you replace. Each qualified model, including VK000960GZXQU, meets the same published specification: 960GB TLC, SATA 6Gb/s, 0.8 DWPD and 1400 TB endurance. All carry digitally signed firmware, so HPE firmware validation behaves the same regardless of which model arrives.
