Product Information

Full details

The HPE 817080-001 is a 960 GB internal solid state drive designed for IT professionals and system administrators who require reliable, high-speed storage for server or workstation environments. Featuring a standard 2.5-inch form factor and a Serial ATA III interface, it provides a balance of capacity and data throughput for enterprise applications. While it offers excellent compatibility with existing SATA-based hardware, users should verify their specific server drive cage requirements to ensure proper fitment and thermal management.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this drive hot-swappable?

Yes, provided your server backplane and controller support hot-swapping functionality.

Can I use this in a desktop PC?

Yes, it is compatible with any standard desktop PC that has a 2.5-inch drive bay and a SATA III interface.

What is the interface speed?

The drive utilizes a Serial ATA III interface with a maximum data transfer rate of 6 Gbit/s.

Does this drive include a caddy?

The drive unit generally ships as a bare drive; you may need to purchase an HPE-compatible 2.5-inch drive carrier specific to your server model.

What is the primary use case for this SSD?

This drive is optimized for server and workstation environments, particularly for applications requiring reliable, constant data access.

Troubleshooting

Drive not detected by BIOS or OS

Verify the SATA cable connection and ensure the drive is properly seated in the backplane; check if the port is enabled in the BIOS settings.

Slow read/write speeds

Check the RAID controller settings to ensure the port supports 6 Gbit/s (SATA III) and that no bottlenecks exist in the controller configuration.

Drive indicator light remains amber

Consult your server's service manual to interpret the specific fault code, as this often indicates a predictive failure or a mismatch in the drive caddy/controller communication.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable enterprise-grade performance
  • Standard SATA III interface for broad compatibility
  • Efficient 2.5-inch form factor saves space
  • Consistent read/write speeds for server workloads

Cons

  • SATA III speed is slower than NVMe alternatives
  • Requires specific caddy for some server drive bays
  • 960 GB capacity may be limiting for massive datasets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this drive, ensure your server or workstation is powered down and disconnected from the power supply. Mount the 817080-001 into a compatible 2.5-inch drive carrier or caddy before inserting it into the drive bay. The Serial ATA III interface is backwards compatible with SATA II, though speeds will be throttled if the backplane does not support 6 Gbit/s. To maintain the health of the drive, ensure your server room maintains proper ambient temperatures to prevent thermal throttling, and ensure your RAID controller firmware is updated to the latest version to maintain full feature compatibility.
