816562-B21 HPE Read Intensive 480GB SAS-12G SC SSD | New Bulk Pack

The HPE 480GB SAS-12G SC Read Intensive SSD is designed to offer a balance between capacity and endurance, making it well-suited for read-intensive workloads that require high levels of reliability and performance.

In terms of capacity, the drive provides 480GB of storage space, which is generally sufficient for most enterprise workloads. This can include hosting databases, running virtual machines, and supporting various enterprise applications.

In terms of endurance, the drive is designed for read-intensive workloads, meaning that it is optimized for frequent read operations with less emphasis on write operations. This design helps to prolong the lifespan of the drive by minimizing the amount of wear on the NAND flash memory. HPE rates the drive for a maximum of 1.3 drive writes per day (DWPD) over a 5-year period, which is higher than many other read-intensive SSDs on the market.

The drive also includes a number of features to help ensure data integrity and reliability, such as advanced error correction, power loss protection, and end-to-end data path protection. These features help to minimize the risk of data loss or corruption, even in the event of power failure or other unexpected disruptions.

Environmental and Operating Conditions

The environmental and operating conditions of a solid-state drive (SSD) are important considerations for ensuring its reliable and long-lasting performance. These conditions include factors such as temperature, humidity, altitude, vibration, and shock.

Temperature: SSDs have specific operating temperature ranges, and it is important to keep the temperature within this range to avoid performance issues and premature failure. The HPE 480GB SAS-12G SC Read Intensive SSD has a wide operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F), which makes it suitable for use in a variety of environments.

Humidity: High humidity levels can cause damage to electronic components, including SSDs. The HPE 480GB SAS-12G SC Read Intensive SSD can operate in humidity levels up to 95% non-condensing, which ensures that it can be used in a wide range of environments without degradation in performance or reliability.

Altitude: Altitude can also affect the performance of electronic components, and SSDs are no exception. The HPE 480GB SAS-12G SC Read Intensive SSD can withstand altitudes up to 10,000 feet (3048 meters) without any degradation in performance or reliability.

Vibration and Shock: Enterprise environments can be subject to high levels of vibration and shock, and SSDs must be able to withstand these conditions to maintain their reliability. The HPE 480GB SAS-12G SC Read Intensive SSD can withstand up to 2.17G of operating vibration at 7-800Hz and up to 3.13G of non-operating vibration at 5-500Hz. It can also withstand up to 1000G of non-operating shock and up to 40G of operating shock.

The HPE 480GB SAS-12G SC Read Intensive SSD has been designed to operate reliably in a range of environmental conditions. Understanding and ensuring that the operating conditions of the SSD are within the specified limits will help to ensure its long-term reliability and performance.

Management and Monitoring

Management and monitoring capabilities are important features of enterprise-grade solid-state drives (SSDs) like the HPE 480GB SAS-12G SC Read Intensive SSD. These features enable administrators to manage the SSDs, monitor their health and performance, and ensure that they are operating at optimal levels.

HPE SSDs come with management and monitoring tools that allow administrators to manage the SSDs from a central location. For example, HPE Smart Storage Administrator (SSA) is a tool that allows administrators to view and manage HPE SSDs and other storage devices across an entire infrastructure from a single console. It provides an intuitive interface for performing tasks such as creating, deleting, and managing logical drives, monitoring drive health, and updating firmware.

In addition to management tools, HPE SSDs also have built-in monitoring capabilities that allow administrators to track the health and performance of the SSDs in real-time. For example, the HPE 480GB SAS-12G SC Read Intensive SSD has built-in Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) that continuously monitors drive health and generates alerts if any issues are detected. This allows administrators to proactively address any issues before they escalate into more serious problems.

Other monitoring capabilities of HPE SSDs include support for industry-standard interfaces like S.M.A.R.T., TRIM, and NCQ, which provide detailed information about the SSD’s performance and health status. HPE SSDs also support the HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge, which provides a measure of the SSD’s remaining lifespan based on the amount of data written to the drive.

The management and monitoring capabilities of HPE SSDs like the HPE 480GB SAS-12G SC Read Intensive SSD help administrators to ensure that their storage infrastructure is operating efficiently and reliably. These features allow administrators to proactively address any issues and ensure that their organization’s data is protected and always available.
