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 mixed use applications?

HPE 12 Gb Value SAS Mixed Use (MU) SSDs optimize your enterprise with faster data transfer rates and near price parity compared to 6 Gb SATA SSDs. HPE Value SAS MU SSDs deliver enterprise features at an affordable price for applications requiring a balanced mix of read and write performance, and are ideal for database, transactional applications and virtualization workloads.

HPE 12 Gb Value SAS MU 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 MU SSDs provide slightly reduced performance in exchange for being price competitive to enterprise SATA SSDs.

HPE 12 Gb Value SAS 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 SSDs.

Do your read-intensive workloads need consistently high performance from a Solid State Drive with low latency and reduced power consumption?

HPE SATA M.2 Read Intensive (RI) Solid State Drives (SSDs) deliver enterprise features and performance at an affordable price for workloads high in reads such as boot/swap, web servers, and read caching. Hewlett Packard Enterprise SSDs are backed by over 3 million hours of testing and qualification in various environments, certifying reliable, high performing drives.¹ HPE Digitally Signed Firmware prevents unauthorized access to your data by verifying that drive firmware comes from a trusted source. HPE SATA M.2 RI SSDs achieves higher Input/Output Per Second (IOPs) to enhance the performance of your data center, giving you faster access to data with excellent latency. With reduced power consumption, it provides improved IOPS/W versus rotating media and reduces datacenter cooling costs.

Do your HPE servers and storage platforms need high capacity and proven performance hard drives to optimize your business critical data storage workloads?

HPE Business Critical Hard Drives are engineered to deliver the highest capacity, performance, reliability and data security across your data center applications. HPE Business Critical Hard Drives allow you to store more data without sacrificing performance or reliability. HPE Business Critical Hard Drives are available in both 3.5-inch Large Form Factor (LFF) and 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) and ship with a standard one-year warranty. All HPE hard drives pass a rigorous qualification process, which certify that every drive is proven to perform in your HPE server and storage environments. All HPE hard drives include digitally signed firmware which helps prevent unauthorized access to your data.

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.
