Enterprise SSD for ProLiant Servers
The HPE 797291-B21 is an 800GB solid-state drive built for HP ProLiant Gen9 and compatible server storage platforms. It uses a 3.5 inch large form factor and connects through a 12Gb/s SAS interface. The drive leverages NAND flash technology to deliver higher performance and lower latency than traditional rotating media while reducing power consumption.
Suited for high random read and write IOPS workloads
This drive targets customers who need exceptional performance and endurance for demanding applications on supported HPE server infrastructure. It supports HP SmartSSD Wear Gauge compatibility in management tools so administrators can monitor SSD life and prevent data loss. Buyers requiring a small form factor, non-hot-plug, or quick-release device should look at other models in the same product family.
Hot-plug capability and management integration
The large form factor hot-plug design allows installation or replacement without powering down the server, providing operational flexibility. HP SmartSSD Wear Gauge integration works with HPE management tools to report remaining drive life and help schedule proactive replacements. No additional accessories, cables, or software licences are included with the drive itself.
