Frequently asked questions
What are the key performance metrics of the HPE MO0400FCTRP?
The MO0400FCTRP delivers 46,200 IOPS for 4KB random reads and 9,800 IOPS for random writes. Sequential read throughput reaches 370 MBps internally with 150 MBps write performance. External data transfer rate is 6 Gbps via SAS interface. These metrics position it as a mainstream endurance drive suitable for general enterprise workloads rather than extreme-performance or write-intensive applications.
Which HPE server models are compatible with this SSD?
The MO0400FCTRP is compatible with HPE ProLiant BL series (BL420c, BL460c, BL465c, BL660c Gen8/Gen9), DL series (DL20, DL60, DL80, DL120, DL160, DL180, DL320e Gen8/Gen9), ML series, and SL series servers. It also works with HPE StoreVirtual VSA platforms (4130, 4330, 4530, 4630, 4730 models) and Synergy D3940 storage modules.
What is the advantage of the smart carrier design?
The smart carrier provides system status LED indicators, spinning activity rings for write-process visibility, and a remotely-activated blue LED for drive location identification. A do-not-remove warning icon prevents accidental drive removal during active data operations. This design reduces operational errors and improves data center management efficiency compared to standard carriers.
How does the MLC NAND technology affect drive endurance and cost?
Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND stores multiple bits per cell, reducing cost-per-gigabyte compared to SLC while maintaining adequate endurance for mainstream workloads. MLC is optimized for mixed read/write patterns typical in enterprise environments. This technology balances performance, reliability, and affordability for general-purpose server storage rather than extreme write-intensive or ultra-high-endurance applications.
What power efficiency benefits does this drive provide?
At 9 watts operational power consumption, the MO0400FCTRP significantly reduces power draw compared to 2.5-inch SAS HDDs (typically 8-12 watts) and 3.5-inch enterprise drives (15-20 watts). Lower power consumption directly reduces cooling requirements in data centers, lowering operational costs and improving overall system efficiency in dense server deployments.
Is this drive suitable for high-transaction database environments?
The MO0400FCTRP is classified as mainstream endurance, making it suitable for general database workloads with mixed I/O patterns. With 46,200 IOPS read capability, it handles typical transactional databases well. However, for extreme write-intensive OLTP or data warehouse environments requiring sustained high IOPS, enterprise-class SSDs with higher endurance ratings would be more appropriate.
What is the form factor and how does it fit in server infrastructure?
The 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF) with 15mm height fits standard 2.5-inch SFF drive bays in HPE ProLiant servers. This compact form factor enables higher drive density in blade servers and 1U/2U rack systems compared to 3.5-inch drives, optimizing storage capacity per server while maintaining thermal management and airflow efficiency.
