HPE Mainstream Endurance Enterprise Mainstream H2

Higher performance and better latency

HPE SSDs enable rapid reads and writes of transactional data. On an HDD, random reads require constant repositioning of the read/write head to seek the exact location of data on the platter before the data transfer can begin. However, SSDs have no moving parts or rotating platters that can cause latency problems, and that results in faster access to data. Therefore, with faster seek times, the drives achieve high IOPS, producing quicker data access and better latency. The drives also pack the operating performance of several rotating HDDs into the same space as a single HDD, so you can get more performance out of your existing data center.

Lower power consumption

Steadily increasing storage requirements pose power and performance challenges to data centers. Solid state devices have a significantly better performance-to-power rating than traditional rotating HDDs. The lack of a motor greatly reduces an SSD's power consumption, so the drives draw less energy - less than two watts idle and less than nine watts maximum - for SSDs.

Environmental ruggedness

The inherent environmental ruggedness of SSDs makes them well suited for extreme environments where traditional drives cannot operate. The drives can tolerate significantly higher operating shock and vibration levels compared to traditional rotating HDDs. In fact, they virtually eliminate rotational vibration problems.

High reliability

Reliability is important for any storage medium, and it is essential when considering a storage device that can be used in servers. HPE Enterprise SSDs pass a rigorous HPE ProLiant qualification of 2.4 million test hours.

Investment protection

HPE Enterprise SSDs are a drop-in replacement for existing HDDs. They fit into existing HDD hot-plug bays and require no modification to operating system or infrastructure tools. The drives are recognized as standard SAS or SATA devices with no special changes in firmware or hardware. Although you cannot mix SSDs and HDDs in the same logical array, you can mix them within the system to provide a more effective use of both technologies.
