What are the key specifications of the HPE QR503A SSD?

The HPE QR503A features 200GB capacity, SAS 6Gb/s interface, 2.5-inch SFF form factor, and Single-Level Cell SLC NAND flash. It supports surveillance-optimized workloads with high endurance for enterprise servers and 3PAR arrays, providing sustained performance under heavy read/write demands.

Is the QR503A suitable for HPE ProLiant servers?

Yes, the QR503A is compatible with HPE ProLiant DX, DL, ML, SL, BL, XL, and CL series servers. Its 2.5-inch SFF design with Smart Carrier integrates into standard hot-swap bays for easy deployment in rack-mounted data center environments.

What makes this SSD surveillance-optimized?

Surveillance optimization stems from SLC NAND's superior write endurance and low latency, ideal for continuous video streams. The 6Gb/s SAS interface handles high sequential writes without bottlenecks, outperforming consumer SSDs in 24/7 enterprise recording systems.

Does it work with HPE 3PAR storage?

Yes, the QR503A is designed for HPE 3PAR 7000 series arrays as a high-performance tier-1 drive. Alternate part numbers like 697392-001 confirm integration for caching and primary storage in these all-flash or hybrid systems.

What is the form factor and interface type?

2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) with SAS 6Gb/s interface. This ensures compatibility with dense server chassis and backplanes, supporting dual-port configurations for redundancy in mission-critical setups.

How does SLC NAND benefit enterprise use?

SLC stores one bit per cell, doubling endurance over MLC and reducing error rates. This translates to longer lifespan under intensive workloads like surveillance, minimizing downtime and replacement costs in data centers.
