Enterprise 800 GB 2.5" drive

The HP 762261-B21 is a 2.5-inch enterprise solid-state drive with 800 GB capacity. It is built for HP ProLiant server platforms that demand high random read and write performance. The drive uses a Smart Carrier for hot-plug installation and includes HP SmartSSD Wear Gauge compatibility for life monitoring. It targets workloads from boot to mission-critical compute.

Suits read-heavy server workloads

This drive suits administrators running read-intensive applications such as web serving, virtual desktop infrastructure or boot volumes where 91,000 random read IOPS matter. Buyers who need higher write endurance for databases, logging or heavy transactional workloads should look at a drive with a greater write rating. The value endurance design is not intended for sustained heavy write cycles.

Steady read performance under load

Under sustained load the drive maintains up to 91,000 4 KB random read IOPS and up to 28,000 4 KB random write IOPS. Reduced power consumption compared with rotating media lowers cooling costs and improves IOPS per watt in the datacentre. The Smart Carrier and wear gauge let operators monitor health without service interruption.

Questions about this item

Does the HP 762261-B21 require a 2.5-inch drive bay and Smart Carrier support in the server?

Yes, this 2.5-inch SFF drive uses the HP Smart Carrier, so the server must provide a compatible 2.5-inch hot-plug bay that accepts the Smart Carrier form factor.

Can the 800GB drive operate in the same ProLiant chassis as older rotating-media drives?

Yes, it fits the same 2.5-inch hot-plug bays as traditional drives and delivers up to 91,000 random read IOPS and 28,000 random write IOPS with lower power draw.

How do I verify the HP 762261-B21 is healthy after installation?

Use HP management tools to read the SmartSSD Wear Gauge, which reports remaining endurance and lets you confirm the drive is operating as intended.
