SSD HPE 400GB 12G SAS SFF Mixed Use Smart Carrier

This HPE 400GB SAS SSD stands out with its mixed-use endurance rating of 3 DWPD, making it suitable for workloads that require a balance of read and write operations over a 5-year lifespan. The 12G SAS interface doubles the throughput of previous-generation 6G SAS drives, reducing bottlenecks in data-intensive environments.

Highlights

• 400 GB capacity in a 2.5-inch Small Form Factor with HPE Smart Carrier for tool-less installation.
• Mixed Use (MU) endurance: 3 drive writes per day for 5 years, ideal for virtualisation and databases.
• Dual-port SAS 12Gb/s interface for high availability and up to 1000 MB/s sequential read speed.
• Digitally signed firmware ensures only authentic HPE firmware is executed, protecting against tampering.
• Hot-plug support enables replacement without downtime in compatible ProLiant Gen9/Gen10 servers.

In daily use

Deploy this SSD in HPE ProLiant Gen9 or Gen10 servers for mixed workloads such as OLTP databases, virtualisation, and collaboration. Random read performance of up to 150,000 IOPS and random write of 80,000 IOPS deliver responsive application performance. The drive's 3D NAND technology and 2 million hour MTBF provide long-term reliability, while active power consumption of 8 W helps manage energy costs.
