Description
Product Overview
The 756624-B21 is a 120GB solid-state drive (SSD) designed by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) for use in Gen8 servers. It uses the Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) interface, which is a standard interface for connecting storage devices to a computer’s motherboard. In this article, we will provide a detailed explanation of the specifications and features of the 756624-B21 SSD.
SATA Interface
The SATA interface is a standard interface used for connecting storage devices such as hard disk drives (HDDs) and SSDs to a computer’s motherboard. It was introduced in 2003 as a replacement for the older parallel ATA (PATA) interface. The SATA interface supports data transfer rates of up to 6 gigabits per second (Gbps) and is backward compatible with older SATA versions.
Endurance
Endurance is a term used to describe the ability of an SSD to withstand a certain amount of data writes over its lifetime. Every time data is written to an SSD, it puts a strain on the memory cells, which can eventually lead to wear and tear. SSD manufacturers use various methods to prolong the lifespan of their drives, including wear leveling and overprovisioning.
The 756624-B21 SSD has an endurance rating of three drive writes per day (DWPD), which means it can withstand being written to three times per day for its entire lifespan without experiencing significant wear and tear. This makes it suitable for use in servers, which often have a high workload and require storage devices that can handle frequent writes.
Form Factor
The form factor of an SSD refers to its physical size and shape. The 756624-B21 SSD has a 3.5-inch form factor, which is a standard size for hard drives used in desktop computers and servers. The larger size allows for more memory cells to be packed into the drive, which can increase its storage capacity and performance.
Internal vs. External SSDs
Internal SSDs are designed to be installed inside a computer or server, while external SSDs are designed to be used as portable storage devices that can be connected to a computer via USB or other external interface. Internal SSDs are typically faster and have higher capacity than external SSDs, but they are also more expensive and require more expertise to install.
Read and Write Speeds
The read and write speeds of an SSD are measures of how quickly it can transfer data to and from the computer. The 756624-B21 SSD has a maximum read speed of 450 megabytes per second (MB/s) and a maximum write speed of 400 MB/s. These speeds are significantly faster than traditional hard disk drives, which typically have read and write speeds of around 100 MB/s.
Compatibility
The 756624-B21 SSD is designed to be compatible with Gen8 servers, which were released by HPE in 2012. Compatibility with other servers may vary depending on the server’s specifications and the configuration of its storage interface.
Smart Carrier
The 756624-B21 SSD comes with a Smart Carrier, which is a specialized bracket that is designed to hold the drive securely in place and provide additional functionality. The Smart Carrier includes features such as an LED status indicator, which provides information about the drive’s performance and health, and a locking mechanism, which prevents the drive from being accidentally removed.
Digitally Signed Firmware
The firmware of an SSD is the software that controls its operation and manages its data storage. The 756624-B21 SSD has digitally signed firmware, which means that the firmware has been tested and verified by HPE to ensure that it is authentic and free of malware or other security threats. This helps to ensure the reliability and security of the drive’s operation.
