HPE Server Solid State Drives (SSDs) for mixed-use offer high performance and longevity for applications that require high IOPS performance for random read and write operations. All HPE (MU) SSDs have undergone more than 3.35 million hours of testing and qualification, making them reliable and robust drives for customers. HPE Value SAS SSDs provide a significant performance boost over SATA SSDs, with nearly double the IOPS, allowing you to optimize transactional database workloads. Digitally signed firmware from HPE prevents unauthorized access to your data by ensuring that the drive firmware comes from a trusted source. The indicators on the HPE Smart Carrier make the drive status easy to understand. The "Do Not Remove" button helps prevent data loss due to user error. The PE SmartSSD Wear Gauge can also be used to monitor SSD lifespan, allowing you to identify if drives are at risk of failure.
