Optimized for Write-Intensive & Enterprise Environments

This category of SSDs — including this refurbished 752668‑001 model — serves environments that repeatedly write and overwrite large datasets. With 10 DWPD endurance, it can sustain continuous write-heavy utilization without compromising reliability.

Suggested Deployment Scenarios

• High-performance database logging and transaction processing
• Virtual machine disk operations with frequent writes
• Large-scale caching or content delivery servers
• Mixed read/write enterprise workflows in data centers

Form Factor Versatility & Seamless Integration

Compact at 2.5″, this SSD aligns with both 2.5‑inch and some 3.5‑inch backplanes when paired with appropriate caddies. Its refurbishment guarantees it's ready for deployment without additional configuration or effort.

Deployment Benefits

• Fits standard server drive bays and trays
• Hot‑swap ready when used within compatible carrier systems
• Reliable integration into existing HPE ProLiant infrastructure

Comparative Overview Within the HPE SSD Family

Within the HPE ecosystem, SSDs are offered across various workload profiles—like Value Endurance (VE), Read‑Intensive (RI), Write‑Intensive (WI), and Mixed‑Use (MU). The 752668‑001 aligns most closely with enterprise‑value or write‑heavy classes, offering excellent DWPD at a competitive cost :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}.

Performance Comparison Highlights

• Read‑Intensive (RI): Lower DWPD, optimized for mostly read operations
• Value Endurance (VE): Balanced read/write lifespan at mid-range cost
• Write‑Intensive (WI): Highest endurance suitable for continuous writes
• Mixed‑Use (MU): Designed for balanced read/write workloads in versatile scenarios :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

A Note on Reliability

Users have noted firmware-related behavior affecting SSD longevity. Specifically, drives nearing 85 % wear may require firmware updates or power cycling to maintain stability — a reminder to stay current with firmware and monitoring practices :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}.

Energy Efficiency & Green Impact

Compared to spinning hard disks, the 2.5″ MLC SSD delivers substantial energy savings and quieter operation. Its refurbished design further contributes to sustainable use and reduced electronic waste — making it a smart, eco-conscious choice for enterprise environments :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}.

Operational Advantages

• Lower idle and active power consumption
• Reduced heat output—enhancing server cooling efficiency
• Extended lifespan due to fewer moving parts and solid-state design

Compatible Systems & IT Infrastructure

This SSD is well-suited for integration with HPE ProLiant servers (e.g. Gen8/Gen9 variants). While exact model-level compatibility should be confirmed per system, the standard 2.5″ SATA interface and enterprise-grade design make it widely adaptable.

Infrastructure Synergy

• Ready for rack, blade, tower, or modular storage frames
• Ideal fallback option in legacy SATA-based enterprise environments
• Cost-effective upgrade path from HDD to SSD in budget-conscious deployments

Benefits & Ideal Use Cases

The refurbished HPE 752668‑001 800 GB MLC SATA SSD delivers an exceptional blend of capacity, endurance, and cost savings. Its strong write-cycle capacity (10 DWPD), reliable SATA interface, and eco-friendly design make it a compelling choice for:

• High-transaction enterprise servers and databases
• Virtual machine hosts with elevated I/O activity
• Cache servers and content distribution systems
• Cost-conscious data center refresh projects
