- Random write (4 KB): Up to 12,000 IOPS
This SSD is optimized for mixed use workloads and is designed to provide a balance of performance and capacity for a variety of applications.
The 816999-B21 is a 3.5-inch form factor drive, which is suitable for servers and storage systems that have 3.5-inch drive bays. It is compatible with HPE servers and storage systems that support 3.5-inch SATA drives.
Installation of the 816999-B21 SSD is similar to the 2.5-inch form factor drive, and it involves physically installing the drive into a compatible drive bay or tray, and then configuring the drive in the server or storage system’s firmware or management software. It is important to make sure the firmware of the server or storage system is updated to the latest version before installing the drive.
Data Storage Technology
The HPE 816999-B21 is a solid-state drive (SSD) that uses NAND flash memory technology to store data. NAND flash memory is a type of non-volatile memory that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed. This makes it well-suited for use in SSDs, which need to be able to quickly and efficiently write and erase data.
NAND flash memory is organized into blocks and pages. Data is written to the pages within a block, and when a block is full, it must be erased before new data can be written to it. This process is known as block management, and it is handled by the SSD’s controller. The controller also handles other tasks such as wear leveling, which helps to ensure that all blocks get used evenly and that the SSD lasts as long as possible.
The 816999-B21 uses a SATA interface which is a standard interface for storage devices such as hard drives and solid-state drives that connect to a computer’s motherboard. SATA 6 Gbps is the latest version of the SATA standard and offers a maximum transfer rate of 6 Gbps (or 750 MB/s).
Data is stored on the 816999-B21 in a mixed use environment, meaning that the drive is optimized for a combination of read and write operations. With a high sequential read and write speeds and high random read and write IOPS, the 816999-B21 is suitable for a wide range of use cases, including database, analytics, and virtualization.
