Product Information
Full details
The HPE P49746-001 is a high-performance 1.6TB solid-state drive designed for enterprise server environments requiring a balance of read and write endurance. It is an ideal solution for IT professionals and data center managers who need reliable, high-speed storage for mixed-use workloads. The primary caveat is that this drive uses a SAS interface, requiring compatible server backplanes and controllers rather than standard desktop SATA connections.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can I use this drive in a standard desktop PC?
No, this is a server-grade drive with a SAS interface, which requires a SAS host bus adapter (HBA) or a server-grade RAID controller.
What is the primary workload for this drive?
This is a Mixed Use (MU) drive, meaning it is optimized for scenarios involving both read and write intensive tasks.
Is this a hot-swappable drive?
Yes, provided it is installed in an HPE server chassis with a backplane that supports hot-swapping.
What is the data transfer rate of this drive?
The drive supports data transfer rates up to 12 Gbit/s via the SAS interface.
Does this drive come with a caddy/tray?
The SC (Smart Component) designation usually indicates it is intended for use with HPE Smart Carrier systems; however, confirm with your specific kit contents as the carrier tray may be sold separately or included depending on the source.
Troubleshooting
Drive not detected by the server BIOS or RAID controller
Verify that the drive is fully seated in the backplane and check that your controller supports 12G SAS drives.
Drive reporting health warnings in management software
Check the SMART attributes via the HPE management console and perform a firmware update if one is available.
Slow performance during write operations
Ensure that the RAID write-cache is enabled on your controller and check that the drive is not reaching its endurance limits.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-speed 12 Gbit/s data transfer rate
- Optimized for enterprise mixed-use (MU) workloads
- Reliable SAS interface for mission-critical tasks
- Compact 2.5-inch form factor for high-density arrays
Cons
- Requires a SAS-capable controller or backplane
- Not compatible with standard desktop SATA ports
- Higher power and thermal requirements than some low-end SSDs
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the P49746-001 should be performed while the server is powered down, unless the system supports hot-swapping. Ensure that the drive is inserted into a SAS-compatible drive bay. Once installed, use the HPE management software, such as Intelligent Provisioning, to initialize the drive and configure your RAID array. For care, keep the server environment within recommended temperature and humidity levels to prolong the SSD lifespan. Avoid physical vibrations and ensure proper airflow through the server chassis to prevent thermal throttling. Periodically check for firmware updates via the HPE support portal to maintain peak performance and compatibility.
