The HPE 872374-B21 is a 400GB solid-state drive for server storage, with a 12G SAS interface and SFF 2.5-inch form factor. It fits server bays designed for compact hot-plug storage, making it possible to replace the drive without shutting down the system when the server supports that process. SSD storage provides persistent data access without a hard disk’s mechanical construction.
Classified as a Mixed Use SSD, this model is intended for workloads that combine reading and writing, such as server applications that both access and update stored data. It also has digitally signed firmware, as specified by HPE.
HPE lists the 872374-B21 as a drive option for ProLiant DL560 Gen9. For the system to use the intended transfer rate, HPE notes that the drive, controller or HBA, firmware and server backplane should operate at the same rate. Otherwise, system bandwidth may be negotiated down.
