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 Very Read Optimized (VRO) Enterprise and Datacenter Standard Form Factor (EDSFF) E3.S Solid State Drives (SSDs) are best suited for applications requiring a massive amount of data to be stored and assessed at a strong price point. NVMe SSDs communicate directly to applications via the PCIe bus to boost I/O bandwidth and reduce latency. The HPE NVMe EDSFF E3.S SSD replaces the traditional 2.5-inch small form factor SSD while supporting greater density of NVMe drives. It provides high-performance data transfers at rates faster than SAS or SATA SSDs. The HPE NVMe Mainstream Performance Very Read Optimized EDSFF E3.S SSDs were designed to utilize the high bandwidth of PCIe Gen5 on Hewlett Packard Enterprise servers and storage with workloads high in reads such as AI, content-delivery networks, and data analytics.

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

HPE NVMe High Performance Read Intensive (RI) Solid State Drives (SSDs) 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 High Performance RI SSDs provide high-performance data transfers from storage, at rates faster than SAS or SATA SSDs. Designed to utilize the high bandwidth of PCIe Gen4 in select servers for workloads high in reads such as read caching, web servers, and boot/swap.

Do you need to accelerate the performance of your mixed use applications?

HPE SAS Mixed Use (MU) Solid State Drives (SSDs) deliver high performance and endurance for applications requiring high read and write IOPS performance. HPE Enterprise SAS MU SSDs transfer data at full duplex (bidirectional) allowing greater I/O bandwidth to alleviate bottlenecks at quadruple the 6Gb interface of SATA drives.

HPE Enterprise SAS MU SSDs are best suited for mission-critical applications requiring a balanced mix of read and write I/O to deliver significantly faster data transfers from storage than SATA SSDs. HPE SAS MU SSDs are ideal for big data analytics, high performance compute and virtualization workloads.

SAS technology continues to be the interface of choice for many workloads for its reliability and 24x7 operation in the enterprise data center.

Do your servers need high-performance enterprise hard drives for both your mission-critical and I/O-intensive applications?

HPE Server Enterprise Hard Drives offer a high level of performance and reliability for your most demanding application workloads. Enterprise drives help you improve server response times, power more transactions per second, and accelerate data transfer (I/O) speeds. HPE Server Enterprise Hard Drives are backed by over 3.35 million hours of the industry's most rigorous testing and qualification program¹, helping ensure reliable, rugged drives. Prevent unauthorized access to your data with digitally signed firmware from HPE. It provides the security and assurance that drive firmware comes from a trusted source and protects against malicious attacks. The self-describing icons on the HPE Smart Carrier takes the guesswork out of a drive's status, and a “do not remove” button prevents data loss from human error.
