P36999-B21, HPE SAS SSD, 1.92TB/12G SAS/SFF

The HPE P36999-B21 is an enterprise-class 1.92 TB read intensive solid state drive designed as a hot-swap accessory for HPE ProLiant Servers. It combines high-capacity 1.92 TB storage with a 12G SAS interface to deliver fast, predictable performance for databases, virtualization, VDI, and mixed read-heavy workloads in data centers and enterprise server rooms. With its SFF (Small Form Factor) design, the P36999-B21 helps you build dense, energy-efficient storage in both rack and tower configurations, making it suitable for IT deployments across Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America where space and power are limited.

This 12G SAS SSD is optimized as a read intensive drive, ideal for applications that require high IOPS and low latency on a large volume of read operations, such as analytics, web applications, and content delivery platforms. The HPE Smart Carrier design offers clear drive status indicators and simplifies maintenance, so system integrators and distributors can quickly deploy or replace drives with minimal downtime. Multi-vendor support ensures that the P36999-B21 fits into a wide range of standardized HPE server configurations, helping channel partners manage inventory more flexibly while still meeting HPE compatibility requirements.

For small and medium system integrators, the hot-swap capability and 12 Gb/s data transfer rate reduce service windows and speed up on-site upgrades, improving end-user satisfaction and service-level commitments. The rated 2 million hours MTBF supports long-term reliability in critical enterprise environments, reducing unplanned outages and helping operators keep total cost of ownership under control. With operating temperature support from 10°C to 35°C and robust shock and vibration ratings, the P36999-B21 is well suited for regional data centers, branch offices, and hosting facilities that must maintain stable performance in varied climates and power conditions.

End users benefit from faster application response times and more consistent performance compared to traditional hard drives, especially in virtualized and database-heavy environments. The SFF form factor lets IT teams increase storage density without expanding rack footprint, which is important for colocation facilities and enterprises with strict space limitations. As a 12G SAS value SAS solution, the P36999-B21 gives organizations an attractive balance of performance, capacity, and cost for read intensive workloads, while HPE ProLiant server compatibility streamlines planning and deployment across global IT infrastructures.
