An enduring data storage device using semiconductor technology to store and access data which is non-
volatile without the aid of an auxiliary power source.
Today's distributed enterprise is seeing larger, more complex applications, an increase of mission-critical
data moving to the server, increasing demand for transaction processing and critical server consolidation.
In this environment, storage has become a critical component of the information system, significantly
defining both the systems reliability and performance. This is why HP drives undergo an intense
qualification process that eliminates firmware and O/S incompatibilities. All drive firmware is specific to
our drives and is designed to maximize both functionality and compatibility. All of our drives are proven to
be reliable and tuned for optimum performance in the HP equipment for which they were designed.
Many issues customers have with third party drives are "simple" integration issues. When buying from
another supplier, there is no guarantee that a drive has been correctly set for proper operation with
ProLiant servers and storage systems. These incompatibilities can create problems in configuration, can
rob your system of performance, or at their worst, can cause you to lose data. HP drives are specifically
designed and tested for flawless operation in your HP equipment. The integration of solid state drives in
HP systems means that associated components are right for your ProLiant server.

NOTE: Non-hot plug devices are 15mm Z-height which restricts them to those servers that can accept a
15mm device
NAND Flash devices use semiconductor technology that has a finite number of data that can be written to
the device, defined as the Maximum Usage Limit, commonly called write endurance.
Write Endurance - Write endurance is measured while running 100% random 4KiB writes across the entire
SSD
Drive Writes Per Day - Workload environment is based on 100% random 4KiB writes for five (5) years
