## Long description

HPE Mixed Use (MU) Solid State Drives (SSDs) provide high random read and write IOPS performance and endurance for data-intensive applications. These drives are validated through extensive testing and qualification and are available in multiple capacities and interfaces, including 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA. HPE MU SSDs include features such as digitally signed firmware, drive status icons on the Smart Carrier, a "do not remove" button to reduce human error, and an SSD wear gauge for monitoring remaining lifespan.
Advantages
HPE MU SSDs deliver higher IOPS and improved transactional performance compared with standard SATA SSDs, with Value SAS SSDs offering roughly twice the IOPS of SATA at 12 Gb/s versus 6 Gb/s. The multi-vendor SSD option extends SKU lifecycles and ensures immediate availability of SATA drives that meet published minimum performance levels. Built-in data-path error detection and HPE’s firmware signing help maintain data integrity and protect against unauthorized firmware changes.
Key specifications
 Capacities: 240 GB, 480 GB, 960 GB, 1.92 TB, 3.84 TB, 7.68 TB
 Form factor: SFF (2.5-inch)
 Interfaces: 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA
 Workload profile: Mixed Use (MU)
 Warranty: 3-year
 Features: Digitally signed firmware, Smart Carrier status icons, "do not remove" button, SSD wear gauge
 Availability: Multi-vendor SATA SSDs with extended SKU lifecycles
How to use
Install the HPE MU SSD into a compatible 2.5-inch drive bay or tray and connect to a host supporting SAS or SATA interfaces. Use HPE server management tools to monitor drive status and lifespan via the Smart Carrier icons and HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge. For transactional databases and mixed-use workloads, deploy Value SAS SSDs to increase IOPS and consolidate workloads across fewer servers. Follow standard data center procedures for firmware updates, applying only digitally signed firmware provided by HPE to ensure authenticity.
Recommendations
Choose Value SAS SSDs for improved transactional database performance and mixed-use applications that require higher IOPS. Use multi-vendor SATA options when immediate availability and extended SKU lifecycle are priorities. Monitor drive wear regularly and apply only HPE-signed firmware to reduce risk of data corruption or unauthorized changes.
