Product overview

The HPE 877827-B21 is a 3.2TB PCIe NVMe solid-state drive in HHHL (Half-Height/Half-Length) AIC (Add-In Card) form factor, designed for enterprise data center deployments in ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 servers. This mixed-use SSD delivers balanced performance across read and write operations with 18,000 random read IOPS and 160,000 random write IOPS, supporting sequential read speeds of 5,700 MB/s and sequential write speeds of 2,145 MB/s. The drive features digitally signed firmware for enhanced security and compatibility with HPE ProLiant infrastructure. MLC (Multi-Level Cell) flash technology provides reliable performance for mixed workload environments including database acceleration, virtualization, and general-purpose enterprise applications. The non-hot-plug design requires server restart for installation, making it suitable for stable production environments where drive replacement is infrequent. Ideal for organizations seeking to modernize legacy Gen9/Gen10 infrastructure with high-capacity NVMe storage without full server replacement.

Frequently asked questions

What are the performance specifications of the HPE 877827-B21?

The 877827-B21 delivers 18,000 random read IOPS and 160,000 random write IOPS with sequential read speeds of 5,700 MB/s and sequential write speeds of 2,145 MB/s. These metrics make it suitable for mixed-use enterprise workloads including database acceleration, virtualization, and general transactional processing on ProLiant Gen9/Gen10 servers.

Which HPE ProLiant servers support the 877827-B21 SSD?

The 877827-B21 is certified for HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 server families. It uses the HHHL AIC form factor and PCIe x8 interface, compatible with available PCIe slots in DL360, DL380, DL385, and other Gen9/Gen10 models. Consult your server's compatibility matrix to confirm available PCIe slots.

What is the difference between this SSD and SATA alternatives?

The 877827-B21 uses NVMe over PCIe x8, delivering 10-20x faster random I/O performance compared to SATA SSDs. PCIe NVMe provides sub-millisecond latency ideal for database indexing and virtualization, while SATA is better suited for sequential workloads and archival storage. The 3.2TB capacity also exceeds typical SATA SSD options.

Is the 877827-B21 hot-pluggable?

No, the 877827-B21 is non-hot-plug, requiring server shutdown and restart for installation or removal. This design is typical for AIC form factor drives and ensures stable operation in production environments where drive replacement is infrequent. Plan maintenance windows accordingly.

What firmware security features does this drive include?

The 877827-B21 features digitally signed firmware, which verifies firmware integrity during boot and prevents unauthorized firmware modifications. This meets enterprise security requirements for compliance frameworks like NIST and HIPAA, protecting against firmware-based attacks in regulated data center environments.

How does this SSD compare to newer NVMe drives for legacy server upgrades?

The 877827-B21 is optimized for ProLiant Gen9/Gen10 infrastructure, providing a cost-effective performance upgrade without full server replacement. While newer Gen11+ servers support faster PCIe 4.0/5.0 NVMe drives, the 877827-B21's PCIe 3.0 x8 performance (5,700 MB/s read) remains sufficient for most enterprise workloads and extends hardware lifecycle by 3-5 years.
