The HPE XP7 Flash Module Device is a FMD unique to XP7. It combines MLC NAND flash and a SAS interface with a custom ASIC controller for superior flash performance. The FMD form factor is larger than traditional SSD and therefore is available in capacities of 1.7 TB, 3.5 TB, 7 TB and 14 TB. They are configurable in a variety of RAID types in the same fashion as other drives and is compatible with all XP7 firmware and software features.

The XP7 Flash Module Device supports wear levelling. In a flash memory each write or erase cycle stresses the cell which in turn causes deterioration of the cell over time. This might cause an imbalance in the cell activity which creates an irregular distribution of these unstable cells thereby impacting the life of flash.

The flash controller monitors the number of writes, erasures and refreshes to eliminate these imbalances by balancing the rate of deterioration in the flash memory cells. This helps in extending the useful lifetime of flash.

Do you need a self-contained resilient boot solution that does not impact overall server storage capacity or consume a PCIe slot?

HPE Flash Memory Cards and USB Drives are engineered with enterprise-class high endurance NAND for life within non-stop datacenter environments. Using the highest industry flash technology to provide a higher level of performance and longer endurance characteristics at an enterprise level, each device undergoes rigorous testing and software validation to verify the highest level of quality and reliability while running on HPE ProLiant servers.

Do you need to accelerate the performance of your read intensive applications?

HPE 12 Gb Value SAS Read Intensive (RI) SSDs optimize your enterprise with faster data transfer rates and near price parity compared to enterprise 6 Gb SATA SSDs. HPE Value SAS RI SSDs deliver enterprise features at an affordable price for applications requiring high random read IOPS performance, and are ideal for read caching, social media and web servers workloads.

HPE 12 Gb Value SAS RI SSDs transfer data at full duplex (bidirectional) allowing greater I/O bandwidth to alleviate bottlenecks at twice the 6 Gb interface of SATA SSDs. A single-ported version of enterprise 12 Gb SAS, HPE Value SAS RI SSDs provide slightly reduced performance in exchange for being price competitive to 6 Gb SATA SSDs.

HPE 12 Gb Value SAS RI SSDs are presented as an HPE Multi Vendor SKU offering which provides customers with the shortest lead time to available supply on preferably priced HPE Value SAS RI SSDs.

Do you need to accelerate the performance of your read intensive applications?

HPE NVMe M.2 Mainstream Intensive Solid State Drives offer enterprise customers high performance with consistently low latency for faster business outcomes. Solid state drives deliver faster load times for todays demanding applications and workloads. Because of the technology used, SSDs are lighter and better able to withstand movement and droppage. In addition, solid state drives use less energy, allowing computers to run cooler. Because SSDs use nonvolatile storage media that stores persistent data on solid-state flash memory, file copy/write speeds are faster as well.

Searching for an optical drive for your HPE ProLiant server?

The DVD-RW drive is capable of reading DVD 4.7 GB through 8.5 GB media. It can also read standard stamped, CD-R, and CD-RW media. This drive supports writing to CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R/RW, and DVD-R/RW media via software utilities. For Microsoft® operating systems, this is available by installing the included Roxio software disk. For other operating systems, an operating system-specific software utility is required for writing to media.

The DVD-ROM drive is designed to read not only CD-ROM and CD-R/RW discs but also DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW discs.

Do you need to accelerate the performance of your read intensive applications?

HPE NVMe Mainstream Performance Read Intensive U.3 Static Solid State Drives are best suited for applications requiring a strong blend of high read IOPS, low latency and high endurance at a strong price point. NVMe SSDs communicate directly to applications via the PCIe bus to boost I/O bandwidth and reduce latency.

HPE NVMe Mainstream Performance RI SSDs are advanced data center drives customized for greater performance and endurance in a cost-effective design. It is designed to utilize the high bandwidth of PCIe Gen4 in select servers for workloads such as read caching, social media and bulk storage that require outstanding IOPS per watt and cost per IOPS as an upgrade path from SATA SSDs.
