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 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.

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

HPE NVMe High Performance Mixed Use (MU) Enterprise and Datacenter Standard Form Factor (EDSFF) E3.S Solid State Drives (SSDs) are best suited for high I/O applications that require a balanced performance between reads and writes to deliver high performance and endurance for data-intensive applications. NVMe High Performance MU SSDs communicate directly to applications via the PCIe Gen 5 bus to boost I/O bandwidth and reduce latency.

HPE NVMe High Performance MU EDSFF E3.S SSDs replace the traditional 2.5 inch small form factor SSD while supporting greater density of NVMe drives. It delivers high performance, lower latency data transfers from storage significantly faster than SAS or SATA SSDs. Designed to utilize the high bandwidth of PCIe Gen 5 in select servers for mixed use workloads such as Big Data analytics, HPC, and virtualization.
