What workload type is the HPE P74824-B21 optimized for?

Mixed Use (MU) with approximately 3 DWPD endurance, ideal for balanced read/write workloads like virtualization clusters, transactional databases, and analytics platforms requiring higher write sustainability than Read Intensive drives.

Which servers support the P74824-B21 SSD?

Compatible with HPE ProLiant Gen10 and Gen10 Plus servers featuring NVMe U.3 backplanes or bays, including DL360, DL380, ML350 series. Use HPE server configuration tools to verify specific chassis support.

What are the key performance specifications?

Up to 880,000 random read IOPS and 75,000 random write IOPS (4KiB), with sequential speeds over 7GB/s reads and 5GB/s writes via PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe, providing low-latency storage for enterprise applications.

Does this drive support hot-plug replacement?

Yes, hot-plug capable in SFF form factor with HPE Smart Carrier, allowing drive replacement without server downtime in supported RAID/NVMe configurations and properly cabled backplanes.

What is the power consumption profile?

Average power draw of 14.6W under mixed workloads, with peak under 20W, enabling high-density deployments while maintaining thermal efficiency in 1U/2U rack servers.
