## Summary description

The HPE 872344-B21 SSD offers a capacity of 480 GB with a 2.5" form factor. It features a read speed of 510 MB/s and a write speed of 475 MB/s, ensuring efficient data transfer with a rate of 6 Gbit/s. Designed for servers and workstations, this SSD enhances performance and reliability for demanding applications.

## Long description

HPE Mixed Use (MU) Solid State Drives (SSDs) provide high random read/write IOPS and endurance for data-intensive and transactional applications. Backed by extensive testing and qualification, these SSDs are designed to deliver reliable, high-performing storage. Value SAS SSDs offer roughly twice the IOPS of SATA SSDs and support 12 Gb/s SAS interfaces to improve transactional database workloads while reducing the number of servers required. HPE Digitally Signed Firmware and HPE Smart Carrier indicators help protect data integrity and simplify drive management, and the HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge lets you monitor SSD lifespan.
Advantages
HPE MU and Value SAS SSDs combine higher IOPS, enterprise-grade reliability, and efficient data-path error detection to maintain data accuracy. The Value SAS models provide a significant performance increase over SATA by supporting 12 Gb/s transfer rates and are available in multiple capacities to match read-intensive and mixed-use workloads. HPE Multi Vendor SSD SKUs extend product lifecycle and availability for SATA SSDs while ensuring minimum published performance levels. Physical indicators and firmware safeguards reduce human error and unauthorized firmware changes.
Key specifications
Interface options: 12 Gb/s SAS, 6 Gb/s SATA, NVMe
Workload types: mixed use and read-intensive applications
Performance: Value SAS ~2× IOPS compared to SATA SSDs
Reliability: full data-path error detection and extensive testing/qualification
Management features: HPE Smart Carrier indicators, "do not remove" button, SmartSSD Wear Gauge
Firmware security: HPE Digitally Signed Firmware
Availability: HPE Multi Vendor SSD SKUs for extended lifecycle and immediate SATA supply
How to use
Install the SSD into a compatible HPE server or storage enclosure that supports the specified interface (12 Gb/s SAS, 6 Gb/s SATA, or NVMe). Use the HPE Smart Carrier icons to verify drive status and engage the "do not remove" feature to prevent accidental removal. Monitor drive health and remaining life with the HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge and apply firmware updates only from trusted HPE sources to maintain the Digitally Signed Firmware assurance. For best results, match SSD endurance and capacity to your workload profile (mixed use or read-intensive) and follow server vendor guidelines for RAID configuration and cooling.
Recommendations
Choose Value SAS SSDs for transactional database consolidation and improved IOPS; select MU or read-intensive SKUs based on workload type, and use HPE Multi Vendor SKUs when extended availability or preferred SATA pricing is required.
