In the realm of server storage solutions, the HPE 872348-B21 960 Gigabytes (GB) Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) 6 Gigabits Per Second (Gbps) 2.5-inch Multi-Level Cell (MLC) External Hot Swap Smart Carrier High Endurance Technology Solid State Drive (SSD) stands out as a reliable and high-performance option. This 6GBPS SSD is designed to meet the demanding storage needs of modern servers.
Key Features of the HPE 872348-B21 SSD
SATA 6Gb/s Interface
The HPE 872348-B21 SSD uses a Serial ATA (SATA) 6 Gigabits per second (GBPS) interface, which allows for faster data transfer rates between the drive and the server. The SATA 6Gb/s interface has a maximum theoretical speed of 6 Gb/s, which is twice the speed of the previous generation SATA 3Gb/s interface. This faster interface allows for quicker data access and retrieval, which is particularly useful in server environments where data access speed is critical.
Capacity
The HPE 872348-B21 SSD offers a substantial storage capacity of 960 gigabytes, making it suitable for storing large volumes of data and applications in server environments.
Multi-Level Cell (MLC) Technology
Utilizing Multi-Level Cell (MLC) technology, the SSD optimizes storage efficiency by storing multiple bits of data per cell, thereby maximizing storage capacity while maintaining performance.
Small Form Factor (SFF)
The HPE 872348-B21 SSD has a 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) design, which means that it is smaller and more compact than traditional 3.5-inch hard drives. This smaller form factor allows for more efficient use of space within the server, which is especially important in large data centers where space is at a premium. Additionally, the smaller form factor allows for more drives to be installed in the server, increasing the server’s overall storage capacity.
Hot Swap Smart Carrier
The HPE 872348-B21 SSD comes with a Hot Swap Smart Carrier, which is a special type of drive carrier that allows the drive to be hot-swapped while the server is still running. Hot-swapping means that the drive can be removed and replaced without shutting down the server. This is particularly useful in server environments where downtime must be minimized. The Hot Swap Smart Carrier also provides additional protection for the drive, helping to prevent data loss due to accidental removal or vibration.
High Endurance Technology
The HPE 872348-B21 SSD comes with High Endurance Technology, which is a set of features that improve the drive’s durability and lifespan. These features include power loss protection, which helps prevent data loss in the event of a power outage and wear leveling, which distributes write operations evenly across the drive to prevent individual cells from wearing out prematurely. The drive also includes error correction technology, which helps to prevent data corruption and improves overall data integrity.
Solid State Drive (SSD)
The HPE 872348-B21 SSD is a solid-state drive (SSD), which means that it uses flash memory to store data instead of traditional spinning disks found in hard disk drives (HDDs). SSDs are generally faster and more reliable than HDDs, making them an ideal choice for server environments where speed and reliability are critical. Additionally, SSDs consume less power than HDDs, which can lead to lower overall energy costs for the data center.
Server Compatibility
The HPE 872348-B21 SSD is designed to be compatible with a wide range of server systems, including HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 servers, HPE Synergy Gen10 Compute Modules, and HPE Apollo Gen10 System servers. The drive is also compatible with a variety of operating systems, including Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and VMware ESXi.

Benefits of Solid State Drive (SSD) Technology
SSDs offer several advantages over traditional hard disk drives (HDDs), making them the preferred choice for many server applications:
- Faster Performance: SSDs utilize flash memory technology, which enables faster read and write speeds compared to HDDs. This results in quicker data access and improved overall system performance, especially in applications that require high throughput and low latency.
- Enhanced Reliability: SSDs have no moving parts, unlike HDDs, which are susceptible to mechanical failures. This inherent reliability makes SSDs more durable and less prone to physical damage, ensuring data integrity and system stability in demanding server environments.
- Lower Power Consumption: SSDs consume less power than HDDs, leading to reduced energy costs and lower heat generation within server systems. This not only contributes to environmental sustainability but also helps prolong the lifespan of other system components by minimizing heat-related stress.
- Improved Scalability: SSDs offer greater scalability in terms of both capacity and performance compared to HDDs. With advancements in NAND flash technology, SSD manufacturers can pack more storage capacity into smaller form factors while maintaining high levels of performance and endurance, making SSDs ideal for scalable server deployments.
