Do you need to accelerate the performance of your read-intensive applications? HPE NVMe High Performance Read Intensive (RI) Enterprise and Data Center Standard Form Factor (EDSFF) E3.S Solid State Drives (SSDs) are ideally suited for applications that require a strong mix of read-intensive IOPS, low latency, and long lifespan at a compelling price. NVMe SSDs communicate directly with applications over the PCIe Gen 5 bus to increase I/O bandwidth and reduce latency. The HPE NVMe RI EDSFF E3.S SSDs with high performance replace traditional 2.5-inch small form factor SSDs while supporting a higher density of NVMe drives. They provide powerful data transfers at a higher speed than SAS or SATA SSDs. Designed to leverage the high bandwidth of PCIe Gen5 with selected servers for read-intensive workloads such as read cache, web servers, and boot/swap.
