How to install HPE 1.60 TB Solid State Drive - 2.5" Internal - SAS (24Gb/s SAS) - Mixed Use
- Power down the server or storage array and disconnect power cords to ensure a safe handling environment. Ground yourself to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).
- Identify an available 2.5" SAS drive bay or tray compatible with your server chassis or storage backplane.
- Remove the existing drive or prepare an empty tray according to your system’s maintenance procedure. If necessary, loosen bezel screws and detach the tray.
- Insert the HPE 1.60 TB MU SSD into the drive tray and slide it into the SAS backplane or hot-swap bay. Secure the drive with the appropriate screws or latching mechanism as required by the chassis.
- Reconnect SAS data cables and power to the drive backplane. Ensure the connectors are firmly seated to prevent intermittent drive detection.
- Power on the system and enter the storage controller or BIOS/UEFI to verify the drive is detected. If your deployment uses a RAID or storage array, add the new SSD to the appropriate logical group or pool according to your organization’s provisioning plan.
- Update the drive firmware if a newer version is available. Follow vendor guidelines for firmware updates to minimize risk.
- Once detected and configured, monitor health and performance via your storage management software. Perform a baseline benchmark to confirm expected IOPS, latency, and throughput for your mixed workloads.
Frequently asked questions
-
Q: Is this drive compatible with my server or storage array?
A: The HPE 1.60 TB SAS MU SSD is a 2.5" SAS drive designed for systems that support 2.5" SAS drives and 24Gb/s SAS backplanes. Compatibility depends on your server’s drive bays, SAS controller, and firmware. Check your server’s hardware compatibility list (HCL) or contact your HP/HPE reseller for confirmation regarding SAS interfaces and backplane support.
-
Q: What does Mixed Use (MU) mean for workloads?
A: Mixed Use indicates the drive is tuned to handle a blend of workloads—both read and write operations—across databases, virtualization, analytics, and cloud services. It emphasizes balanced performance and endurance suitable for typical enterprise environments rather than single, specialized workloads.
-
Q: How long is the warranty, and where can I find warranty details?
A: Warranty terms vary by region and reseller. Consult your HP/HPE sales partner or official product documentation for precise warranty coverage, duration, and service options in your country.
-
Q: Do I need special drivers to use this SSD?
A: In most data-center deployments, no special drivers are required beyond standard storage controller firmware and operating system support. It’s recommended to check for any available firmware updates for the SSD and the SAS controller to ensure optimal compatibility and performance.
-
Q: What performance can I expect with mixed workloads?
A: The drive is engineered to deliver high IOPS and low latency under mixed-use workloads. Actual performance depends on the system configuration, workload mix, controller capabilities, and RAID or storage array settings. For best results, deploy alongside properly tuned storage infrastructure and monitor with enterprise-grade management tools.
