SSDs for HPE ProLiant Gen9 Servers

Key takeaways

  • 521 listings match this collection right now.
  • PCIe SSD support on Gen9 is largely delivered through add-in cards or a limited number of NVMe-wired bays, not the broad hot-swap NVMe backplane found on newer HPE generations.
  • The Smart Carrier tray on Gen9 is the same physical design used on Gen8, so a Gen8-tray drive can fit a Gen9 bay, but the backplane still decides the interface.
  • Gen9's Smart Array controllers handle SAS and SATA RAID but not NVMe, so any NVMe bay on this generation connects directly to the CPU rather than through the RAID controller.

HPE ProLiant Gen9 servers (DL360, DL380, DL560, ML350, BL460c) use the Smart Carrier tray with the status ring, and take SATA, SAS and early PCIe SSDs. Every listing here is catalogued as supplied for a Gen9 platform.

How to choose solid state drives

Interface first: SATA drives work on a SAS backplane, SAS drives do not work on a SATA-only controller, and NVMe connects over PCIe lanes in U.2, U.3, M.2, E1.S or add-in-card form factors that are not interchangeable with each other. Then the endurance class the workload needs, stated as drive writes per day. Then whether the listing includes the hot-swap tray, which every listing name states.
