Description
Product overview of the HP 673644-B21
The 673644-B21 is a Solid State Drive (SSD) designed for HP ProLiant Servers. This drive is based on the Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe or PCI-E) interface and uses Multi-Level Cell (MLC) technology to offer high-speed data access and transfer rates. This drive is manufactured by HP, a leading brand in the computer hardware industry. In this article, we will explore the features and specifications of the 673644-B21 SSD in detail.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe or PCI-E)
The 673644-B21 SSD uses the PCIe or PCI-E interface to connect to the server’s motherboard. PCIe is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard used for connecting various hardware devices to the computer. It provides a faster and more reliable interface than the traditional PCI or AGP interfaces. PCIe offers several lanes, or channels, each of which can transmit data at a rate of up to 1GB/s. The 673644-B21 SSD uses the x4 PCIe lane configuration, which allows it to transfer data at a maximum rate of 3.94GB/s.
785GB Multi-Level Cell (MLC) G2 Solid State Drive
The 673644-B21 SSD offers a storage capacity of 785GB, which is sufficient for most server applications. This drive uses Multi-Level Cell (MLC) technology, which allows for higher storage densities than Single-Level Cell (SLC) technology. MLC technology stores multiple bits of data in each memory cell, while SLC technology stores only one bit of data per cell. The 673644-B21 SSD uses MLC G2 technology, which is the second generation of MLC technology. This technology offers improved reliability, endurance, and performance over the first generation of MLC technology.
ioDrive2 Technology
The 673644-B21 SSD uses ioDrive2 technology, which is a proprietary technology developed by Fusion-io, a company acquired by SanDisk in 2014. This technology uses a unique approach to data storage, where data is stored directly on the NAND flash memory chips, bypassing the traditional storage controller. This approach allows for faster data access and transfer rates and reduces latency. ioDrive2 technology also includes data protection features such as hardware-based AES-256 encryption, which protects data from unauthorized access and ensures data integrity.
Compatibility with HP ProLiant Servers
The 673644-B21 SSD is designed specifically for use with HP ProLiant Servers. It is compatible with a wide range of HP ProLiant servers, including the HP ProLiant DL and ML servers. The drive is also compatible with various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware. It is important to note that the compatibility of the drive with specific servers and operating systems may depend on the firmware version installed on the server.
Smart Storage Technology
The 673644-B21 SSD uses Smart Storage Technology, which is a set of advanced features developed by HP to optimize the performance and reliability of its storage devices. Smart Storage Technology includes features such as SmartSSD Wear Gauge, which monitors the wear level of the SSD and predicts when the drive is likely to fail. This allows users to replace the drive before it fails, reducing the risk of data loss. Smart Storage Technology also includes Smart Path, which provides load balancing and failover capabilities to ensure maximum uptime and performance.
Overall, the 673644-B21 Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe or PCI-E) 785GB Multi-Level Cell (MLC) G2 Solid State Drive ioDrive2 for HP ProLiant Servers is a high-performance storage device designed for use with HP ProLiant Servers. It uses MLC G2 technology and ioDrive2 technology to offer high-speed data access and transfer rates.
