The HPE P10458-B21 is a high-performance 1.92TB SAS drive designed to meet the demands of enterprise storage solutions. With a 12Gbps SAS interface, this drive delivers superior speed, reliability, and scalability for mixed-use workloads. Its 3.5-inch Large Form Factor (LFF) design ensures compatibility with HPE servers, providing seamless integration for data-intensive applications.

Engineered for mixed-use applications, this drive is ideal for environments that require both high capacity and balanced performance. Whether it's transactional databases, virtualization platforms, or general-purpose storage, the HPE P10458-B21 offers consistent performance and exceptional endurance.

The HPE 12Gbps SAS Interface

The 12Gbps SAS interface provides high throughput for demanding applications. With improved bandwidth over previous generation 6Gbps SAS drives, it allows faster data transfer, lower latency, and better overall system performance. This is crucial for mixed-use workloads where both read and write operations are frequent.

Mixed-Use Drive

Mixed-use drives like the HPE P10458-B21 are designed for balanced performance, offering both capacity and speed. Unlike pure enterprise or read-intensive drives, mixed-use drives are optimized for workloads that involve a combination of random reads and writes. This makes them ideal for virtualization, medium-scale databases, and server environments with varying I/O demands.

Large Form Factor (3.5-inch LFF)

The 3.5-inch form factor is widely used in enterprise servers for its combination of storage capacity and ease of maintenance. LFF drives are easy to hot-swap, and their larger platters allow for higher capacities per drive compared to 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) drives. The HPE P10458-B21 leverages this to provide 1.92TB of storage, making it suitable for large-scale deployments.

HPE Smart Drive Technology

This drive includes HPE Smart Drive technology, which provides enhanced error detection and predictive failure analysis. Smart Drive features monitor the health of the drive continuously, ensuring early warning of potential failures. This increases uptime, reduces risk, and simplifies drive management in enterprise storage arrays.

High-Speed Data Transfer

With a maximum interface speed of 12Gbps, the HPE P10458-B21 supports rapid sequential and random read/write operations. This ensures that applications demanding high data throughput, such as databases and virtual machines, operate efficiently without bottlenecks.

Optimized for Mixed-Use Workloads

Unlike read-intensive drives, this mixed-use SAS drive maintains a balance between read and write operations. It supports higher I/O operations per second (IOPS), making it ideal for mixed transactional environments. For example, multi-user applications, email servers, and virtual desktop infrastructures benefit from consistent I/O performance.

Reliability and Endurance

Enterprise storage requires reliability, and the HPE P10458-B21 delivers with robust error correction, advanced bad-block management, and high Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF). The drive is engineered for continuous operation in demanding enterprise environments, ensuring data integrity and reducing downtime risks.

Hot-Swappable

Enterprise storage often requires high availability, and hot-swappable drives allow replacement without shutting down the server. The 3.5-inch LFF drive with LPC Smart Carrier can be removed and replaced in minutes, minimizing downtime and maintaining business continuity.

Mixed RAID

These drives are suitable for various RAID configurations, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. Mixed-use drives offer the flexibility to optimize storage performance and redundancy according to workload needs, making them ideal for medium to large-scale data centers.

Storage Capacity and Form Factor

The drive offers a total capacity of 1.92TB in a 3.5-inch LFF form factor, making it ideal for data centers requiring high-capacity storage. Large form factor drives are preferred in enterprise environments for their ease of installation, maintenance, and ability to store more data per drive.

High Performance Under Mixed Workloads

Mixed-use drives like the HPE P10458-B21 are engineered to handle varying read/write demands efficiently. This reduces latency, increases throughput, and ensures that applications requiring random I/O perform reliably without bottlenecks.

Enhanced Reliability and Reduced

HPE Smart Drive features and enterprise-grade design reduce the likelihood of drive failures. Predictive monitoring and error correction minimize the risk of data loss, while hot-swap capability ensures continuous availability. This combination of features maximizes uptime in mission-critical environments.

Comparing HPE P10458-B21 with Other SAS Drives

Mixed-Use vs. Enterprise-Read Intensive Drives

Mixed-use drives, such as the HPE P10458-B21, offer a balance between read and write performance, while enterprise-read intensive drives prioritize read operations. For workloads with balanced read/write requirements, mixed-use drives provide better overall performance and endurance.

Large Form Factor vs. Small Form Factor

While small form factor (SFF) drives offer higher density, LFF drives like the P10458-B21 deliver higher capacity per drive. This reduces the number of drives required for large storage arrays, simplifying management, cooling, and power requirements.

12Gbps SAS vs. 6Gbps SAS

The 12Gbps SAS interface doubles the bandwidth compared to 6Gbps drives, supporting faster data transfer rates and reduced latency. For mixed-use workloads that involve high IOPS, 12Gbps drives significantly improve overall server performance.

Enterprise-Grade Reliability

The HPE P10458-B21 1.92TB SAS 12Gbps mixed-use drive offers the reliability expected from HPE enterprise storage. Its Smart Drive technology, hot-swap design, and robust error correction ensure continuous operation in mission-critical environments.
