HPE HU4A5A40C3W 7.68 TB NVMe SED Upgrade SSD

Increase available flash capacity in a supported HPE AL MP storage configuration with a 7.68 TB NVMe self-encrypting upgrade SSD. NVMe identifies the storage interface used by the drive, while the self-encrypting-drive configuration provides hardware-based data-at-rest protection for environments that require encrypted media. The capacity is suited to storage pools that need substantial flash expansion without changing the established platform. HU4A5A40C3W is an HPE upgrade drive for AL MP storage deployments that require this capacity, NVMe interface, and SED configuration. It provides a defined 7.68 TB capacity point for expanding usable solid-state storage while maintaining a consistent drive security approach across the installed system. Use it where the target storage platform is qualified for this drive configuration and capacity. Self-encrypting drives keep encryption functions on the storage device rather than relying solely on host software. That capability matters for storage environments with data-protection controls that call for encrypted drive media. Confirm the target system supports the required NVMe drive configuration, available capacity tier, and self-encrypting-drive requirements before adding the SSD to an existing storage configuration.
