Description
Product Overview of the HPE P04541-B21 400GB Solid State Drive
One such storage drive is the HPE P04541-B21 400 Gigabytes (GB) Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) 12 Gigabytes Per Second (GBPS) Write Intensive Small Form Factor (SFF) 2.5-inch Digitally Signed Firmware Smart Carrier Solid State Drive for Server. It provides a high-speed interface for data transmission, allowing for efficient communication between servers and storage devices. The HPE P04541-B21 SSD utilizes the SAS interface, ensuring fast and reliable data access for critical workloads.
Understanding Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS)
Serial-attached SCSI (SAS) is a technology used for connecting computer peripherals to a motherboard. It is a high-speed interface that facilitates the transfer of data between the storage devices and the system. SAS 12GBPS drives are known for their reliability, performance, and scalability, making them ideal for enterprise-level applications such as servers and data centers.
Exploring Write Intensive Drives
Write-intensive drives are specifically designed to handle workloads that involve a high volume of write operations. These operations include data logging, data warehousing, and online transaction processing. Write Intensive drives prioritize endurance and reliability, ensuring that they can sustain frequent write cycles without compromising performance or lifespan.
Small Form Factor (SFF) Design
The HPE P04541-B21 SSD features a Small Form Factor (SFF) design, which means it has a compact physical footprint compared to traditional storage drives. The 2.5-inch form factor allows for greater storage density within the server chassis, enabling organizations to maximize their storage capacity while minimizing the physical space required. SFF drives are particularly advantageous in environments where space is limited, such as dense server configurations and blade servers.
High Endurance and Reliability
Endurance refers to the amount of data that can be written to the solid-state drive (SSD) over its lifetime. P04541-B21 HPE 400GB SAS-12GBPS SSD has high endurance, which means it can handle a significant amount of data write operations before it wears out. The endurance of this drive is estimated at 700TBW (terabytes written), which means it can write up to 700 terabytes of data before the drive reaches the end of its life. This is a critical factor to consider, especially in enterprise environments where the workload is high.
Reliability refers to the SSD’s ability to function without errors over an extended period. P04541-B21 HPE 400GB SAS-12GBPS SSD has high reliability, which means it can operate without failure for an extended period. It has advanced error correction algorithms that detect and correct any errors that occur during data transfer. Additionally, this drive has a mean time between failure (MTBF) of 2 million hours, indicating that it is reliable and can perform consistently without any issues.
Smart Carrier Technology
Another noteworthy feature of the HPE P04541-B21 SSD is its Smart Carrier technology. The Smart Carrier serves as a robust enclosure for the SSD, providing physical protection and facilitating seamless integration with HPE server platforms. Moreover, the Smart Carrier incorporates intelligent monitoring and management capabilities, allowing administrators to monitor the health and performance of the SSD proactively.
