SSD drive HPE 240GB 2.5" SATA III 875503-B21-RFB

HPE Solid State Drives (SSDs) increase performance and endurance for HPE ProLiant servers and HPE Synergy platforms while reducing power consumption. Available in Read Intensive (RI), Mixed Use (MU) and Write Intensive (WI) categories, these SSDs are offered in SFF and LFF hot-plug, non-hot-plug SFF and SFF Quick Release form factors. They use NAND Flash and support Gen9 ProLiant servers and related server storage platforms, delivering lower latency and higher IOPS compared with rotating media.

Advantages

HPE SSDs reduce power consumption and lower total cost of ownership by improving IOPS per watt and decreasing datacenter cooling requirements. SmartSSD Wear Gauge integration with management tools helps prevent data loss and monitor drive life. Built-in features such as self-describing LEDs simplify drive activity identification, and the Power Advisor tool helps plan SSD and system power. Available across SAS, SATA and NVMe form factors, HPE SSDs provide a broad portfolio and fast access to data with excellent latency.

How to use

Select the SSD class (RI, MU or WI) according to your workload’s read/write intensity and choose the appropriate interface and form factor for your server model. Install the drive in a supported HPE ProLiant or Synergy bay following server instructions for hot-plug or non-hot-plug devices. Use HPE management tools with SmartSSD Wear Gauge to monitor drive health and remaining life, and employ the Power Advisor tool to plan system power and cooling. Ensure firmware compatibility with your server controller for consistent performance and enable power-loss protection where supported.

Recommendations

For database or high-random-IO workloads, choose MU or WI class SSDs and prefer NVMe PCIe or 12 Gb SAS interfaces for best latency and IOPS. Use SmartSSD Wear Gauge monitoring as part of regular maintenance and verify firmware compatibility with your ProLiant generation to maintain reliability and data integrity.
