Enterprise SSD for server storage

This HP 717969-B21 is a 2.5 inch 240GB SATA 6 Gb/s solid-state drive built with MLC flash for enterprise workloads. It delivers up to 64000 random read IOPS and 8000 random write IOPS with a seek time of .1 ms. The drive fits standard hot-plug bays using a Smart Carrier tray.

Suits read-heavy applications and boot volumes

The MLC endurance and high read throughput suit database logging, virtualization hosts and operating-system boots where consistent latency matters. Write-intensive caches or heavy video ingest will exceed the 250 MBps sustained write rate. Buyers needing larger capacities or higher write endurance should evaluate other drives.

SATA 6 Gb/s interface with Smart Carrier

The drive connects via a single SATA 6 Gb/s port and includes the HP Smart Carrier for tool-less installation in compatible Gen8 and Gen9 ProLiant servers. Verify that your backplane and controller support 2.5 inch SATA SSDs before purchase.

Questions about this item

How long before the MLC NAND reaches its write endurance limit?

The MLC memory is rated for enterprise workloads; monitor SMART attributes for remaining life and replace when the wear indicator approaches zero.

Which limit appears first during sustained writes — the 8,000 IOPS ceiling or the 250 MB/s throughput ceiling?

Sequential streams hit the 250 MB/s write throughput limit before random traffic reaches the 8,000 IOPS ceiling.

How much heat does the 2.5" drive add inside a server running 24/7?

Operating temperature ranges from 32 °F to 140 °F; the drive has no moving parts so acoustic noise is negligible.
