Description
Interface and Compatibility
The 741159-B21 HP 800GB MLC SAS 12GBPS High Endurance 2.5-Inch Internal SSD has a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface with a data transfer rate of 12 Gbps. SAS is a point-to-point serial protocol that is commonly used in enterprise storage systems, it offers a higher performance and reliability compared to SATA interface.
This drive is compatible with servers and storage systems that have a SAS interface and support 2.5-inch drives. It is designed to work with HP ProLiant and HPE Synergy servers, as well as other third-party servers and storage systems that support SAS drives. It is also compatible with different operating systems such as Windows, Linux, and VMWare.
It’s worth noting that, SAS interface requires a specific host bus adapter (HBA) and cables to connect to the server or storage system, so make sure that your server or storage system is compatible with SAS interface before purchasing this SSD.
Technology and its Advantages
The 741159-B21 HP 800GB MLC SAS 12GBPS High Endurance 2.5-Inch Internal SSD is built using multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash memory technology. MLC is a type of flash memory that stores more than one bit of data per cell, which allows for higher storage densities and lower costs per gigabyte compared to single-level cell (SLC) flash memory.
The drive also includes several advanced technologies that enhance its performance and reliability:
- Advanced wear leveling and over-provisioning: These technologies help to distribute data writes evenly across the drive, reducing the wear on any one part of the drive and increasing its overall lifespan.
- End-to-end data protection: This feature helps to protect your data from corruption by detecting and correcting errors that may occur during data transfer.
- Advanced ECC: This technology detects and corrects errors that may occur when data is written to or read from the drive, which helps to protect your data from corruption.
- High endurance: This drive is designed to handle a high amount of data writes, making it suitable for write-intensive applications such as data centers and cloud storage.
- Performance: With a 12 Gbps SAS interface, it offers high-speed data transfer and random read and write IOPS of 180,000 and 29,000 respectively, which ensures fast data processing.
All these features and technologies make 741159-B21 HP 800GB MLC SAS 12GBPS High Endurance 2.5-Inch Internal SSD a high-performance, reliable and cost-effective storage option for enterprise environments.
