Product Information

Full details

The HPE P19913-H21 800GB Mixed Use (MU) SAS SSD is designed for enterprise environments, such as database management, big data analytics, and cloud computing, where high random read and write IOPS are essential. It provides a significant performance upgrade over traditional SATA SSDs by utilizing a 12 Gb/s SAS interface, offering double the IOPS for transactional workloads. While it delivers excellent reliability and endurance, users should ensure their server infrastructure supports 12 Gb/s SAS interfaces to fully realize these performance gains.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this drive in a SATA-only server?

No, this drive requires a SAS interface and will not function in a server that only supports SATA drives.

What is the primary difference between MU and RI drives?

MU (Mixed Use) drives are designed for environments with a balanced mix of read and write tasks, offering higher endurance than RI (Read Intensive) drives.

Does this drive support hardware encryption?

No, this specific model does not include hardware-level encryption.

Is this drive hot-pluggable?

Yes, it is designed with an HPE Smart Carrier specifically for safe hot-plug installation and removal.

How do I monitor the health of the drive?

You can monitor the drive's health and remaining lifespan using the HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge via your server management console.

Troubleshooting

Drive not detected by server BIOS/OS

Verify that the SAS controller is correctly configured and the drive is fully seated in the hot-plug bay.

Drive status LED shows error

Use HPE management tools to pull the drive SMART logs and check for specific hardware failure indicators.

Performance lower than expected

Ensure the drive is connected to a 12 Gb/s SAS controller port rather than a 6 Gb/s or SATA port.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly higher IOPS performance than SATA-based drives
  • Enhanced reliability with 3.35 million hours of testing
  • Supports Hot-Plug for easier maintenance
  • Firmware security via digital signatures
  • Proactive monitoring with SmartSSD Wear Gauge

Cons

  • Requires SAS-compatible backplane or controller
  • Not compatible with standard SATA-only drive bays
  • Higher initial cost compared to entry-level SATA SSDs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the P19913-H21 is straightforward due to the HPE Smart Carrier, which fits into standard SFF (2.5-inch) drive bays found in HPE ProLiant servers.

  1. Compatibility: Ensure your server is equipped with a 12 Gb/s SAS-capable backplane. While SAS is backward compatible with 6 Gb/s, using an older controller may throttle the speed.
  2. Installation: With Hot-Plug support, you can slide the drive into an available bay while the server is powered. The Smart Carrier locks into place, and status icons will illuminate to confirm active engagement.
  3. Care: Avoid exposing the drive to static electricity during handling. Monitor the SSD lifespan regularly through your server management software (like iLO or OneView) using the SmartSSD Wear Gauge to plan for eventual retirement before failures occur.
