What are the performance specifications of the HPE 690825-B21 SSD?

The HPE 690825-B21 delivers 370 MB/s sequential read, up to 46,200 4KB random read IOPS, and 9,800 4KB random write IOPS over SAS 6Gb/s interface. These metrics support high-throughput enterprise workloads like databases and virtualization on ProLiant Gen8 servers with low latency and consistent performance.

Which HPE servers is the 690825-B21 compatible with?

Designed for HPE ProLiant Gen8 servers including DL360/380 G8, with support extending to Gen9/Gen10 in 12G SAS ME hot-plug SFF bays. Features Smart Carrier for seamless hot-swap integration in enterprise storage configurations.

What endurance rating does this SSD provide?

Rated for mainstream enterprise endurance at 10 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day), using reliable MLC NAND suitable for mixed read/write workloads in datacenters, ensuring longevity under 24/7 operations without frequent replacements.

Is the 690825-B21 suitable for mission-critical applications?

Yes, as an Enterprise Mainstream SSD with power-loss protection, advanced ECC, and SAS reliability features, it excels in OLTP, virtualization, and analytics where data integrity and minimal downtime are essential.

What form factor and interface does it use?

2.5-inch SFF with SAS 6Gb/s interface and HPE Smart Carrier for hot-plug deployment. Compatible with standard ProLiant drive bays, enabling easy upgrades in rack servers.

How does it compare to SATA SSDs in performance?

SAS 6Gb/s provides superior random IOPS (46K read/9.8K write) over typical SATA III SSDs, with dual-port redundancy for failover, making it preferable for high-availability enterprise storage versus consumer-grade SATA options.
