756611-B21 HPE 960GB SATA 6GBPS Light Endurance 2.5 Inch Internal Solid State Drive

Light Endurance 960 GB SATA SSD – Enterprise‑Ready Storage

Engineered for continuous, mission‑critical workloads, the 756611‑B21 delivers a robust 960 GB storage capacity in a compact 2.5‑inch form. Designed for enterprise environments, it blends performance, durability, and reliability with HPE’s Light Endurance (LE) rating—ideal for consistent, moderate‑write applications.

Read/Write Throughput & IOPS Capabilities

This SSD sustains responsive, consistent performance:

• Sequential read speeds up to ~470 MB/s
• Sequential write throughput approaching ~455 MB/s
• Random 4 KB IOPS: read up to ~58,800; write up to ~13,200 IOPS :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Reliability, Protection & Compatibility

Robust Lifetime & Data Safeguards

• Mean time between failures (MTBF) exceeding 2 million hours ensures dependable longevity :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}.
• Power‑Loss Protection (PLP) preserves data integrity in case of unexpected outages :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}.
• Digitally-signed firmware supports secure updates and tamper‑resistant operation.

Comprehensive HPE Platform Compatibility

Certified across an extensive range of HPE ProLiant systems—rack, tower, blade, and Synergy modules—across Generations 8 and 9 (and G10/Gen10 variants), ensuring seamless clustering with legacy and modern configurations :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}.

Deployment Versatility & Integration

Hot‑Swap Flexibility & Carrier

• Hot‑pluggable design supports uninterrupted maintenance and swapping within active systems.
• Bundled with HPE Smart Carrier (SC) for easier installation and compatibility with HPE caddy systems :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}.

Thermal & Environmental Resilience

• Rated for operation between 0 °C to ~60 °C; non‑operational range spans at least from −40 °C to +70 °C :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}.
• MLC NAND flash construction provides balanced endurance and thermal efficiency, reducing heat generation relative to spinning drives.

Common Use Cases & Scenarios

• Virtualization hosts managing numerous VMs where moderate writes and high read throughput are common.
• Database read‑intensive workloads—OLTP, analytics, or caching servers—benefiting from rapid access.
• Boot/system volumes, logging repositories, and edge‑deployment storage, where write volumes are contained.

Firmware Considerations & System Health

HPE SSDs often integrate with HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge and management utilities to monitor drive wear levels and implement appropriate firmware updates. Staying current with firmware ensures reliability, especially near high-wear thresholds. (Note: users have reported drive failure risks when firmware is outdated—always follow HPE guidance for maintenance.) :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
