In this article, we will explain what the various terms and acronyms associated with this SSD mean.
P04537-S21 HPE 3.2TB 2.5-inch SFF SAS Mixed-Use (MU) 12GBPSThe P04537-S21 is a model number for a specific type of solid-state drive produced by HPE, which is a leading provider of enterprise-grade hardware and software solutions. This SSD has a storage capacity of 3.2TB, which means it can store a large amount of data in a relatively small form factor.
The drive has a 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF), which means it is smaller than traditional hard drives and is designed to fit in smaller spaces. It uses Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface to communicate with other components in the system and has a data transfer rate of 12Gbps. This allows the SSD to transfer data at a high speed, which is critical for enterprise applications that require fast access to data.
Mixed-Use (MU)The term "mixed-use" (MU) refers to a type of SSD that is designed to handle a mix of read and write operations. This makes it suitable for applications that have a combination of read-heavy and write-heavy workloads. Examples of mixed-use applications include databases, virtualization, and online transaction processing.
Solid State Drive (SSD)Solid-state drives (SSDs) are storage devices that use flash memory to store data. Unlike traditional hard disk drives (HDDs), SSDs have no moving parts, which makes them more reliable and faster. SSDs are also more energy-efficient and generate less heat than HDDs, which makes them ideal for use in data centers.
Digitally Signed Firmware (DS)The firmware is a type of software that is embedded in the SSD and is responsible for controlling how the drive works. Digitally signed firmware (DS) is a security feature that ensures the firmware has not been tampered with. It uses a digital signature to verify the authenticity of the firmware and prevent unauthorized access to the SSD.
G8 G9 G10 (Gen8 Gen9 Gen10)G8, G9, and G10 (Gen8, Gen9, and Gen10) are terms used to refer to different generations of HPE servers. These generations have different specifications and features, which means that the P04537-S21 SSD is compatible with a wide range of HPE servers.
Hot-PlugHot-plug is a feature that allows you to add or remove the SSD from the server while the system is still running. This is useful for situations where you need to replace a faulty drive or upgrade the storage capacity of the system without shutting it down.
