FAQs
What does 'Mixed Use' mean for an SSD?
Mixed Use refers to a drive's endurance rating, specifically designed to handle a balanced workload of frequent read and write operations common in database and virtualization environments.
Is this drive hot-swappable?
Yes, when installed in a compatible HPE server bay, the Smart Carrier design supports hot-swapping.
Does this drive work with standard consumer PCs?
This drive is specifically designed for HPE enterprise servers and uses an HPE Smart Carrier; it may not fit or function correctly in standard desktop SATA bays.
What is Digitally Signed Firmware?
It is a security feature that ensures the firmware running on the drive is verified by HPE, preventing unauthorized or malicious firmware updates.
Can I mix this SSD with HDDs in the same array?
It is generally recommended to keep SSDs and HDDs in separate logical drives or arrays to prevent performance bottlenecks and management issues.
What is the form factor of this drive?
This is a 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) drive.
Troubleshooting
Drive not detected by server BIOS
Ensure the drive is fully seated in the backplane and check that the server backplane supports SATA connections.
Indicator lights not showing status
Check that the Smart Carrier is properly aligned and that the server's RAID controller firmware is up to date.
Performance degradation during heavy load
Verify that your RAID controller is configured for 'Mixed Use' profiles and ensure the cache settings are optimized for SSD throughput.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a compatible HPE server chassis with 2.5-inch drive bays supporting the Smart Carrier (SC) system. To install, ensure the server is powered down or configured for hot-plug operations according to your server manual. Slide the drive into the bay until the latch clicks securely. Once installed, verify the drive is recognized in the server's Smart Storage Administrator (SSA) tool. To ensure maximum lifespan, avoid abrupt power loss and maintain server room temperatures within the manufacturer's specified operational range. Regularly update your firmware via the HPE service pack to ensure optimal compatibility with your RAID controllers.
