The 200GB Write Intensive SAS-3 2.5" Internal SC Enterprise SSD from HP is designed to provide high write performance and endurance. It is best suited for mission-critical enterprise environments with workloads high in read and write speeds. Write Intensive workloads include online transaction processing (OLTP), virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), business intelligence, Big Data Analytics, and more. This drive has a capacity of 200GB, a SAS-3 12 Gb/s interface, a 2.5" / 15mm form factor, a workload rating of greater than or equial to 10 drive writes per day, sequential reads of up to 1,000 MiB/s, sequential writes of up to 660 MiB/s, random reads of up to 106,000 IOPS, and random writes of up to 83,000 IOPS. It comes installed in a Hot Plug SmartDrive carrier, which helps to enable a more balanced system architecture for unified storage, improved performance, and greater reliability. SmartDrive carriers also proactively warn against data loss when removing a drive.

Solid-state drives offer high performance, low latency, and low power solutions that fit into into the HPE server infrastructure, such as ProLiant servers and Synergy platforms, using HP's universal hot plug drive carrier. HPE Enterprise SSDs also support Power Loss Protection (PLP). Please note that as this drive has SC in the product name, it is only compatible with Gen8 and later hot plug server bays and cannot be used in any other server generation.

The workloads indicate the number of drive writes per day (DWPD) that you can expect from the drive. DWPD is the maximum number of 4K host writes to the entire drive capacity of the SSD per day over a five-year period. This drive has a typical endurance of ≥10 DWPD.

HPE Solid-state Drives deliver reduced power consumption, providing improved IOPS/W versus rotating media while helping to reduce datacenter cooling costs. With compatibility in management tools, SmartSSD Wear Gauge helps prevents data loss and monitors the life of your SSD.

HPE SSDs allow you to get the most out of your server with more compute per watt. These SSDs also utilize the Power Advisor tool for SSD and system power planning and uses self-describing LEDs that help reduce drive activity confusion.

HPE SSDs help achieve higher Input / Output per Second (IOPs) to help enhance the performance of your data center. There is also a SAS-3 12 Gb/s interface that helps provide faster access to your dad with lower latency.

HPE SSDs are rigorously tested up to 2.4 million hours to achieve higher quality standards. SSDs may also be relied upon in various environments, as they can tolerate higher operating shock and vibration levels. HPE firmware provides compatibility with the ProLiant Server series and HP controllers for performance consistency, data accuracy is maintained with full data-path error detection, and high availability with power loss protection is delivered that protects data even when the datacenter loses power.
