HPE PM1733a 1.92 TB NVMe SSD – Read Intensive, 2.5" U.3 PCIe 4.0

Engineered for data centers and enterprise environments that crave fast, reliable read performance, the HPE PM1733a 1.92 TB NVMe SSD delivers exceptional speed for read-intensive workloads while maintaining high reliability and efficiency. This 2.5-inch U.3 drive leverages PCIe 4.0 technology to unlock impressive read IOPS and low latency, making it a top choice for read caching, boot volumes, bulk data storage, and rapid access to data in social media platforms, email systems, and large-scale applications. The PM1733a RI (Read Intensive) model is designed to accelerate data access without sacrificing durability, so you can streamline operations, improve application response times, and shorten data-to-decision cycles in demanding environments. Whether you’re upgrading data-center storage, refreshing boot drives across racks, or expanding capacity for caching workloads, this SSD is built to deliver consistent performance and robust reliability across the most demanding enterprise workloads.

  • High-performance read-optimized NVMe SSD: Built for read-heavy workloads, the PM1733a delivers rapid data access with high input/output operations per second (IOPS) and ultra-low latency, helping to accelerate boot processes, caching layers, content delivery, and read-centric applications. Its read-intensive profile is designed to maintain steady throughput under sustained read activity, which translates to faster data access and smoother operation for workloads that rely on quick reads rather than frequent writes.
  • 1.92 TB capacity in a 2.5" U.3 form factor: The generous capacity in a compact 2.5-inch (U.3) enclosure provides ample space for operating system images, frequently accessed datasets, caching layers, and bulk storage. This capacity helps reduce drive sprawl in dense data-center environments while enabling larger boot volumes and data caches to stay on a single, convenient drive with enterprise-grade endurance and reliability.
  • Enterprise-grade reliability and data protection: The PM1733a RI is designed for continuous operation in demanding environments. It features enterprise-grade reliability mechanisms such as power loss protection, end-to-end data protection, and robust ECC safeguards to preserve data integrity. With these protections, organizations can trust the drive to maintain data integrity even under sudden power events, hardware faults, or heavy read workloads, helping to minimize downtime and avoid data loss.
  • PCIe 4.0 x4 interface for maximum throughput: This drive connects via a PCIe Gen4 ×4 interface, delivering the bandwidth needed to accelerate read-heavy applications, streaming data, and caching services. The PCIe 4.0 interface enables significantly higher transfer rates than previous generations, providing a strong foundation for modern data-center accelerators, virtualization hosts, and applications that demand rapid data access from flash storage.
  • Broad compatibility and server-ready design: The PM1733a uses the U.3 2.5" form factor—widely supported in enterprise servers and backplanes—making it a practical upgrade for a range of HPE and non-HPE platforms. Its enterprise-grade design is optimized for reliability in data-center deployments, offering consistent performance, predictable behavior, and straightforward deployment in boot, cache, or bulk storage roles.

How to install HPE PM1733a

  • Verify server compatibility: Confirm that your server or storage backplane supports 2.5" U.3 NVMe drives and PCIe Gen4 interfaces, and that the backplane has a free slot for a 2.5" NVMe device.
  • Power down and unplug the system: Follow your data-center safety procedures to shut down the server and disconnect power before handling hardware components.
  • Remove the existing drive (if upgrading): If replacing a drive, remove the existing 2.5" NVMe drive from its hot-swap tray or drive cage according to your server’s maintenance procedure.
  • Insert the PM1733a into a compatible drive tray: Slide the PM1733a into a compatible hot-swap tray and align it with the backplane’s U.3 slot. Ensure the connector seats securely and the drive is firmly screwed or latched in place as required by your chassis.
  • Secure and power up: Reattach the drive tray to the server, reconnect power and any data cables, and boot the system. Enter the server BIOS/UEFI or your storage controller configuration utility to detect the new drive.
  • Initialize and configure in the OS or RAID/controller: Use your operating system disk management tools or the server’s RAID/Storage Controller interface to initialize the NVMe drive, assign a filesystem or partition scheme, and set up any necessary caching or boot configurations.
  • Update firmware and monitor health: If available, update the PM1733a firmware through your management tools or vendor utilities. Monitor SMART attributes, endurance, and drive status through your preferred monitoring dashboards to maintain reliability over time.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What is the HPE PM1733a Read Intensive NVMe SSD?

    A: The PM1733a is an enterprise-class solid-state drive designed for read-intensive workloads. It offers a 1.92 TB capacity in a 2.5" U.3 form factor with a PCIe 4.0 interface and NVMe protocol, optimized for high IOPS, low latency reads, and reliable operation in data-center environments.

  • Q: What workloads is Read Intensive storage best suited for?

    A: Read-intensive storage excels in scenarios requiring fast data access with fewer write operations. Use cases include read caching, OS and boot volumes, bulk data access, content delivery, social media data stores, email repositories, and other applications that frequently read data from storage while performing fewer writes.

  • Q: What is U.3 form factor, and is this drive compatible with most servers?

    A: U.3 is a 2.5-inch enterprise storage form factor used for NVMe and other interfaces in data-center backplanes. The PM1733a’s U.3 design makes it compatible with many enterprise servers and backplanes that support NVMe drives, including many HPE platforms. Always verify your server’s backplane and BIOS/firmware support for PCIe Gen4 NVMe drives.

  • Q: How do I ensure the PM1733a operates reliably in my system?

    A: To ensure reliability, keep firmware updated, monitor health through your server management tools, maintain adequate cooling and airflow, and follow best practices for hot-swap drive handling. The PM1733a includes power loss protection and data-protection features to guard against unexpected power events and data integrity issues.

  • Q: Can I use this drive for caching or as a boot drive?

    A: Yes. The PM1733a RI is well-suited for read caching and boot/swap operations, helping accelerate system startup, application loading, and read-access-heavy workloads by storing frequently accessed data on fast flash storage.

  • Q: Where can I find more detailed specifications and compatibility information?

    A: Detailed specifications, compatibility notes, and firmware updates are typically provided by HPE and the vendor’s product pages. Consult your data-center hardware catalog or the official HPE documentation for model-specific guidance and supported configurations.

Too Tight but It Works
It doesn't really sit on very well to be honest, it tends to sit TOO tight in my opinion. Taking it off can be a hassle but at least it gets the job done, durability is good, finish is great, obviously easy to use.
