HPE 800 GB Solid State Drive - 2.5" Internal - SAS (12Gb/s SAS) - Mixed Use

Experience enterprise-grade speed and reliability with the HPE 800 GB Solid State Drive. Specifically designed for mixed-use (MU) workloads, this 2.5-inch SAS SSD delivers accelerated data access, lower latency, and consistently high IOPS to power data-rich environments. Ideal for big data analytics, cloud platforms, virtualization, and database applications, it helps you streamline storage tiers, boost application performance, and reduce total cost of ownership. Built to endure sustained workloads in data centers, this MU SSD combines robust endurance with efficient power usage, enabling you to scale your infrastructure without compromising service levels or data integrity. Leverage HPE's MU architecture to simplify deployment, improve consolidation, and drive faster business results across hybrid IT ecosystems.

  • High performance for mixed-use workloads: This MU SSD is engineered to deliver strong IOPS and low latency across diverse I/O patterns, including read-heavy, write-heavy, and random workloads. By providing balanced performance for virtualization, real-time analytics, and cloud services, it minimizes the need for multiple storage tiers and helps ensure consistent response times even during peak demand. The 800 GB capacity delivers ample space for datasets, databases, and hot data, allowing you to keep critical information close to compute resources for faster access and improved application agility.

  • Ideal workloads for data-driven environments: HPE 12Gb SAS MU SSDs are purpose-built for big data analytics, cloud computing, high-performance compute, database applications, and virtualization. In analytics pipelines, you’ll enjoy quicker data ingest, faster query execution, and more responsive dashboards. In virtualized ecosystems, you can consolidate workloads, enhance VM density per host, and support rapid live migrations. For databases, expect improved transaction throughput and lower latency under concurrent access, helping you meet service-level agreements with headroom for growth.

  • Reliability and endurance for data centers: Enterprise-grade reliability is at the core of MU SSD design. Expect robust error correction, wear leveling, and firmware optimization that maintain data integrity during long-running operations and heavy I/O bursts. With features such as power-loss protection and rigorous quality controls, these drives help minimize unplanned downtime and ensure consistent performance across the drive lifecycle, making them well-suited for mission-critical applications and 24/7 workloads.

  • Energy efficiency and dense deployment: Despite delivering high throughput, MU SSDs optimize power usage to lower total cost of ownership in dense data center racks. The 2.5-inch form factor fits standard drive trays and backplanes, enabling straightforward upgrades and scalable deployments without sacrificing space. Efficient caching, reduced idle power, and intelligent wear management contribute to lower operational costs, particularly in virtualization clusters, cloud environments, and analytics platforms with heavy read/write activity.

  • Compatibility and deployment flexibility: With a 12Gb/s SAS interface, the drive integrates across a wide range of HPE servers, storage arrays, and SAS controllers. The 2.5" internal drive format aligns with modern backplanes and hot-swap trays, simplifying maintenance and replacement. Its mixed-use designation means you can deploy the same drive type across varied workloads, reducing procurement complexity and ensuring consistent performance across your storage fabric.

How to install HPE 800 GB Solid State Drive - 2.5" Internal - SAS (12Gb/s SAS) - Mixed Use

  • Prepare your system: Ensure compatibility by verifying that your server, storage array, or SAS backplane supports 12Gb/s SAS MU SSDs and that firmware for both the drive and controller is up to date. Power down the system if performing a cold swap, or follow hot-swap procedures if your chassis supports live replacement.

  • Physically install the drive: Remove the appropriate drive tray or sled, insert the 2.5" MU SSD into the slot, secure it with the tray screws or latch, and reconnect SAS data and power cables. If performing a hot-swap, follow your vendor’s guidelines to minimize disruption and protect hardware components.

  • Configure in the storage controller: Access your RAID controller or HBA to present or initialize the new drive. Choose the appropriate mode (RAID level or pass-through) based on your design. If the drive will be used as standalone storage in a non-RAID configuration, initialize it within the operating system or storage management software as required.

  • Initialize and verify: Run a health check and verify that the drive is recognized by the system. Confirm SMART attributes, firmware version, and that the drive participates in the desired storage pool or array. If available, perform a medium-level benchmark to validate expected throughput and latency.

  • Best practices for ongoing health: Keep firmware updated for both the MU SSD and the storage controller. Establish monitoring for endurance, performance, and thermal behavior. Regularly review drive health reports and alert thresholds to catch anomalies early and maintain consistent service levels.
