## Summary description

The HPE P18436-B21 SSD offers a capacity of 1.92 TB with a 2.5" form factor. It features a read speed of 520 MB/s and a write speed of 480 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 and write IOPS performance and endurance for data-intensive applications. These HPE (MU) SSDs are qualified through extensive testing and are available in Value SAS configurations that deliver roughly twice the IOPS of SATA SSDs to improve transactional database workloads. Firmware is digitally signed to ensure authenticity, and HPE Smart Carrier icons and a "do not remove" button help prevent accidental data loss. HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge enables monitoring of SSD lifespan to identify drives at risk of failure.
Advantages
HPE MU SSDs offer higher IOPS and improved endurance suitable for big data analytics, cloud environments, databases and data warehousing. Value SAS drives run at 12 Gb/s versus 6 Gb/s for SATA, providing a measurable performance increase for transactional and mixed-use workloads while reducing the number of servers required. Multi-vendor SATA SSD options extend SKU lifecycles and improve availability for immediate procurement. Drive-level protections such as full data-path error detection and digitally signed firmware enhance data integrity and security.
Key specifications
Form factor: SFF (2.5-inch)
Interface: Value SAS (12 Gb/s) and SATA (6 Gb/s); NVMe also available in portfolio
Capacities: 240 GB, 480 GB, 960 GB, 1.92 TB, 3.84 TB, 7.68 TB
Use case: Mixed-use and read-intensive workloads, transactional databases, analytics, cloud
Warranty: 3-year
Features: Digitally signed firmware, HPE Smart Carrier status icons, "do not remove" button, HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge, full data-path error detection
How to use
Select the HPE MU or Value SAS SSD capacity that matches your workload requirements, install the drive in a compatible HPE server or enclosure supporting 2.5-inch SFF drives, and verify the interface (12 Gb/s SAS or 6 Gb/s SATA) is supported by your host. Use the HPE Smart Carrier indicators to confirm drive status and avoid accidental removal with the "do not remove" mechanism. Monitor drive health and remaining endurance with HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge and integrate drives into your storage management and backup procedures to maintain data integrity.
Recommendations
For transactional databases and mixed-use applications prioritize Value SAS SSDs (12 Gb/s) to gain higher IOPS and better consolidation of workloads. For immediate availability and extended SKU support on SATA models, consider multi-vendor SSDs that meet HPE's published minimum performance requirements. Regularly monitor SSD wear and maintain backups to reduce risk of data loss.
