Hewlett Packard Enterprise SSD 800GB hot-plug SAS SFF 762749-001-RFB

The Hewlett Packard Enterprise SSD 800GB hot-plug SAS SFF is a solid-state drive designed for enterprise server and storage environments. With an 800GB capacity and a small form factor, this drive supports hot-plug insertion and a SAS interface to deliver low-latency access and sustained performance under mixed workloads. Its compatibility with a range of HPE server models makes it suitable for deployment in racks and storage arrays where reliability and predictable performance are required.

Advantages

The drive combines the endurance and random I/O performance characteristics of an enterprise SSD with the convenience of a hot-plug small form factor. It provides faster read/write access compared with spinning media, improved mean time between failures compared with consumer-grade drives, and simplified replacement or upgrade procedures thanks to hot-swap capability. The SAS interface supports multi-pathing and enterprise-class connectivity for higher availability in clustered systems.

Suitable for

• Database servers requiring consistent low-latency random I/O
• Virtualization hosts and hyper-converged infrastructure
• High-performance caching tiers and tiered storage appliances
• Enterprise file and block storage arrays in data centers
• Systems that need hot-plug replacement and predictable endurance

Key specifications

• Form factor: Small Form Factor (SFF)
• Interface: Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), enterprise-grade
• Capacity: 800 GB of usable NAND flash
• Hot-plug support for in-service removal and insertion
• Optimized for random read/write workloads typical in server use
• Designed for enterprise endurance and reliability characteristics

How to use

Install the SSD into a compatible HPE server drive bay following the server manufacturer's hot-swap guidelines. Ensure the host controller is configured for SAS operation and that any RAID or storage controller settings are set according to the deployment plan. For RAID configurations, initialize and validate the array after insertion. Monitor drive health through the system management tools provided by the server platform and schedule firmware updates as recommended by the server vendor.

Usage recommendations

Place the SSD in workloads that benefit from low-latency random I/O and predictable endurance. Use enterprise storage management utilities to monitor SMART attributes and drive health, and plan for capacity and endurance based on workload write patterns. When replacing drives, follow hot-plug procedures and allow the storage system to rebuild or resynchronize before removing additional drives.
