HPE 868818-B21, 480 GB, 2.5", 530 MB/s, 6 Gbit/s
HPE Server Mixed Use (MU) Solid State Drives (SSDs) deliver high performance and endurance while reducing power consumption for customers with applications requiring high random read and write IOPs performance. HPE MU SSDs offer the highest performance applications that need a balance of strong read and write and they typically have an endurance of between <1 and <10 drive writes per day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What primary workloads is the HPE 868818-B21 SSD optimized for? +
The HPE 868818-B21 is specifically engineered for read-intensive workloads. It is an ideal choice for applications such as boot drives, read caching, web servers, and social media analytics where data retrieval frequency significantly outweighs write operations, ensuring optimized I/O performance for your server environment.
Does the 868818-B21 SSD include digitally signed firmware? +
Yes, this drive features HPE digitally signed firmware. This critical security integration ensures that the drive firmware is authentic and has not been tampered with, protecting your server infrastructure against malicious firmware attacks and ensuring high data integrity within your storage subsystem.
What is the physical form factor and interface of this HPE SSD? +
This unit is a Small Form Factor (SFF) 2.5-inch drive designed for seamless integration into standard HPE server drive cages. It utilizes a SATA 6G interface, providing a reliable and efficient connection for mid-range enterprise server configurations requiring cost-effective, high-speed storage solutions.
Is this 480GB SSD compatible with standard HPE Smart Carriers? +
The 868818-B21 is a Smart Carrier (SC) drive, meaning it is designed to fit directly into the drive bays of compatible HPE ProLiant Gen10 and Gen10 Plus servers. The Smart Carrier provides real-time status indicators, allowing IT administrators to monitor drive health and activity directly from the server front panel.
Can I mix this read-intensive SSD with existing drives in my HPE array? +
Yes, this drive can be integrated into existing HPE server arrays, provided the drive controller supports SATA 6G interfaces. However, ensure that the RAID configuration is optimized for the drive's read-intensive performance profile to maintain consistent latency and throughput across your storage volumes.
What are the performance benefits of choosing this 6G SATA SSD over traditional HDDs? +
By transitioning to this 480GB SATA SSD, you significantly reduce input/output latency and increase IOPS compared to spinning mechanical hard drives. This upgrade results in faster application response times, quicker boot cycles, and improved overall server efficiency for read-heavy business-critical data sets.
How should I manage the firmware updates for the 868818-B21? +
Firmware management is best handled through the HPE Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) or the Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) management interface. Regularly updating your firmware ensures the drive maintains optimal compatibility, performance, and security patches as provided by HPE lifecycle management tools.
Is the 868818-B21 suitable for high-write endurance enterprise databases? +
As a read-intensive (RI) drive, the 868818-B21 is balanced for read-heavy environments. While it handles standard transactional data well, for write-intensive database applications that involve constant heavy logging and updates, you may want to consider HPE Mixed Use (MU) or Write Intensive (WI) solid-state drive alternatives.
