Disco SSD HPE 240 GB 2,5 polegadas SATA MLC P18420-B21

The HPE P18420-B21 is a 240 GB 2.5" SATA MLC SSD designed for servers and workstations that need improved responsiveness for data-intensive applications. With a 6 Gbit/s interface and read/write speeds up to 505/255 MB/s, this internal SSD provides higher IOPS and enhanced endurance compared with standard consumer drives, making it suitable for mixed-use and read-intensive workloads in enterprise environments.

Advantages

HPE mixed-use SSDs deliver higher random read/write IOPS and greater endurance, backed by extensive testing and qualification. Value SAS models offer roughly twice the IOPS of SATA SSDs for improved transactional database performance, while HPE features such as digitally signed firmware, Smart Carrier icons, a "do not remove" button, and the SmartSSD Wear Gauge support drive security and lifecycle monitoring.

Suitable for

• Database and transactional workloads
• Big data analytics and data warehousing
• Virtualization and cloud server environments
• Active archiving and read-intensive applications

How to use

Install the 2.5" SSD into a compatible server or workstation drive bay supporting SATA 6 Gbit/s. Use the server vendorʼs procedures to secure the drive and update firmware where applicable. After physical installation, initialize and format the drive within your operating system or storage management utility and integrate it into the desired storage pool or volume for application use.

Recommendations

For optimal longevity and performance, monitor drive wear with HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge, ensure firmware is kept up to date with HPE digitally signed firmware, and select Value SAS models when higher IOPS or consolidated transactional workloads are required.
