HPE 400GB SAS 12Gb/s 2,5 inch mixed-use solid state drive (872374-S21)

Server storage bottlenecks can cripple database performance and virtualisation density. This HPE 400GB SAS 12Gb/s 2.5-inch Mixed Use Solid State Drive (872374-S21) removes the I/O ceiling with sustained high throughput and low latency, giving ProLiant Gen8/Gen9/Gen10 servers the endurance and speed required for mixed read/write workloads.

Who is it for

IT administrators and data centre operators running transaction-heavy applications, virtualised environments, or high-performance computing clusters on HPE ProLiant Gen8, Gen9, or Gen10 servers. It fits any 2.5-inch Small Form Factor hot-swap bay with HPE Smart Carrier.

Main features

• 400GB capacity with 3D TLC NAND flash for balanced performance and endurance.
• SAS 12Gb/s interface delivers up to 1000 MB/s sequential reads and 800 MB/s writes.
• Mixed Use endurance rated at 3 DWPD, up to 2190 TBW over the drive lifetime.
• 150,000 random read IOPS and 80,000 random write IOPS for demanding workloads.
• Hot-swap support via HPE Smart Carrier for quick replacement without downtime.
• Digitally Signed Firmware (DSF) protects drive firmware integrity.
• 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) fits standard server drive bays.
• Typical active power consumption of 6-8 W helps control energy costs.
