HPE 3.2TB SAS 12G MU SFF SC DS SSD (873367-B21)

Server workloads that demand high throughput and consistent low latency need storage that can keep pace without compromising endurance. The HPE 3.2TB SAS 12G Mixed Use SFF Smart Carrier Digitally Signed SSD delivers the performance and reliability required for mixed read/write intensive applications in enterprise environments.

Who is it for

IT administrators and data center managers running HPE ProLiant Gen9, Gen10, or Gen10 Plus servers who need a high-capacity, mixed-use SSD for virtualization, databases, and other latency-sensitive workloads. This drive is ideal for environments where both read and write performance are critical, and where data integrity and drive authenticity are paramount.

Main features

• 3.2 TB storage capacity in a 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) with HPE Smart Carrier for hot-plug support.
• SAS 12Gb/s interface for high-speed data transfer and dual-port redundancy.
• Mixed Use (MU) endurance rated at 3 DWPD for 5 years, suitable for balanced read/write workloads.
• Digitally Signed Firmware (DS) ensures only authenticated HPE firmware can be installed, protecting against malicious code.
• 3D Triple-Level Cell (TLC) NAND flash for cost-effective high capacity and performance.
