FAQs

What does 'Mixed Use' mean for this SSD?

It means the drive is rated for a balance of write endurance and read performance, suitable for most enterprise workloads that are not exclusively write-heavy or read-heavy.

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

No, this is a SAS interface drive. It requires an SAS-compatible controller and backplane to function properly.

What is the purpose of the 'Smart Carrier'?

The Smart Carrier provides visual feedback on drive status, such as activity, identification, and fault alerts, directly through LED indicators on the drive tray.

Is this drive hot-swappable?

Yes, when installed in a server chassis that supports hot-swappable drive bays, you can replace the drive without shutting down the entire system.

What is the benefit of Digitally Signed Firmware?

It ensures that the firmware on the drive is authentic and has not been altered, protecting your server against malicious firmware-based attacks.

Does this drive come with the mounting tray included?

Yes, the Smart Carrier (SC) is included as part of the drive assembly.

Troubleshooting

Drive not detected by BIOS or Controller

Verify the drive is fully seated in the bay and check the SAS controller configuration to ensure the port is enabled.

Amber light flashing on the drive carrier

The Smart Carrier light indicates a drive fault. Use your HPE management software (like iLO) to view specific error codes or log entries.

Performance lower than expected

Check that the drive is connected to a 12Gb/s capable SAS controller port rather than a legacy 6Gb/s port.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable mixed-use endurance profile
  • High-speed 12Gb/s data throughput
  • Enhanced security via digitally signed firmware
  • Integrated Smart Carrier for easier management

Cons

  • Requires SAS-specific controller hardware
  • Not intended for extreme write-heavy write-intensive workloads
  • Physically limited to 2.5-inch SFF drive bays

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this drive, ensure your server is powered down and the chassis is accessible. The Smart Carrier mechanism is designed to slide directly into your HPE server drive bay. Once seated, the locking handle secures the drive and activates the connection.

Compatibility Requirements:

  • Ensure your server backplane supports SAS drives (SAS drives are generally backwards compatible with SATA controllers on some HPE systems, but an SAS controller is required for full performance).
  • Always check your server's QuickSpecs for drive bay support.

Care Instructions:

  • Handle the drive by its edges to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
  • Do not remove the drive while the system is under heavy load unless the system supports hot-swapping.
  • Keep the drive firmware updated through the HPE Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) to ensure continued compatibility and security.
