Product overview
The HP 1TB 2.5 inch MLC 6Gb/s SATA Solid State Drive is supplied under part number F3C96AA. Enterprise SSDs are specified by endurance as much as capacity, and a read-intensive drive put under a write-heavy workload wears out early. This one is 1TB. Tell us the workload and we will confirm the endurance class is right before you order.
Ask for the datasheet and firmware notes with the quote; we would rather you check our claim than take it.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
F3C96AA is what is quoted and F3C96AA is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.
No substitutions without asking
If we cannot supply the exact code we tell you what we can supply and why, rather than shipping an equivalent and letting you find out.
Endurance matched to the workload
We ask what the drive is being written to before quoting, because a read-intensive part on a write-heavy volume is a warranty claim waiting to happen.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is F3C96AA genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes. It ships new in HP packaging, which is what keeps the warranty and the firmware entitlement valid. Anything we cannot supply that way we tell you about before you order.
Will F3C96AA work in my server?
Send the server or array model and the controller behind it. We check the carrier, the firmware family and whether the drive is on the platform's supported list, since mechanical fit is the easy part.
Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
Yes, POs from qualified organisations, net terms on approval, and banded pricing once the quantity is worth banding. Send the number and we will price it properly.

Specifying a system, not just the part?
Training throughput is limited by how fast data reaches the accelerators, which is why AI nodes are specified with NVMe in front of the GPUs.
