P21123-002 HPE 1.6TB SAS-12GBPS SSD TLC Mixed Use SFF Hot-Plug

The HPE P21123-002 1.6TB SAS-12GBPS SSD TLC Mixed Use SSD

The HPE P21123-002 1.6TB SAS-12GBPS SSD is a high-performance solid-state drive designed to meet the demanding needs of modern data centers and enterprise environments. As a TLC (Triple-Level Cell) Mixed Use SSD, this drive offers a balanced blend of speed, endurance, and capacity, making it suitable for both read-intensive and write-intensive workloads. The small form factor (SFF) and hot-plug capabilities further enhance its usability in dynamic server environments where reliability and accessibility are crucial.

SAS-12GBPS Technology

Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is a high-speed interface used in enterprise storage solutions. With 12Gbps data transfer rates, the HPE P21123-002 ensures fast and consistent performance across large volumes of data. The 12Gbps interface allows for quick retrieval, backup, and migration of critical business data, reducing downtime and improving operational efficiency.

1.6TB Capacity for Modern Workloads

The 1.6TB storage capacity of the HPE P21123-002 is ideal for enterprises that require substantial on-device storage for applications, databases, and virtual environments. With this capacity, businesses can store a significant amount of operational data, reducing the need for frequent data offloading to secondary storage. Additionally, the drive's size supports scalable virtualization and cloud workloads, enabling seamless integration into modern IT infrastructures.

Small Form Factor (SFF) Advantages

The Small Form Factor (SFF) design allows for a compact footprint without compromising storage capacity. SFF drives are particularly advantageous in high-density server configurations, blade servers, and storage arrays where space is at a premium. By incorporating an SFF SSD, data centers can achieve higher storage density and energy efficiency, while maintaining excellent performance.

Hot-Plug Functionality for Enterprise

One of the standout features of the HPE P21123-002 is its hot-plug capability. This feature allows drives to be inserted or removed from a live system without disrupting operations. Hot-plug functionality is crucial in enterprise environments where uptime is essential, minimizing downtime during maintenance or upgrades.

TLC (Triple-Level Cell) NAND Technology

The HPE P21123-002 employs TLC NAND technology, storing three bits of data per memory cell. TLC NAND provides an optimal balance between cost, performance, and endurance, making it suitable for mixed-use scenarios. While TLC SSDs have slightly lower endurance than SLC or MLC NAND, they deliver excellent value for workloads with moderate to high write operations.

Read and Write Speeds

The drive delivers impressive sequential read speeds that allow rapid data retrieval from large files, while sequential write speeds ensure efficient data storage for continuous workloads. These capabilities are ideal for high-performance computing environments, content delivery networks, and large-scale database systems.

Random IOPS Performance

Random input/output operations per second (IOPS) measure a drive's ability to handle random access workloads. The HPE P21123-002 offers high IOPS, enabling quick response times for multiple simultaneous read/write requests, which is essential for virtualization, transactional databases, and online applications.

Integration with HPE Servers and Storage Arrays

HPE designs its SSDs to work seamlessly with its server and storage ecosystems. The P21123-002 is fully compatible with HPE ProLiant and Synergy servers, as well as HPE storage arrays, providing optimized performance and reliability. Tight integration with HPE management tools enables centralized monitoring, configuration, and health reporting.

SAS-12Gbps Mixed Use SSDs

These drives are optimized for mixed workloads, balancing read and write operations, and are ideal for transactional databases, virtualization, and mixed-use applications.

Read-Intensive SAS SSDs

Read-intensive drives are designed for applications with heavy read workloads, such as content delivery networks, backup solutions, and high-read databases.

Write-Intensive SAS SSDs

Write-intensive drives focus on high endurance for heavy transactional workloads, including data logging, high-frequency trading platforms, and large-scale database writes.
