FAQs

Q: Which HPE servers is the P83344-B21 SSD compatible with?
A: The HPE PM7 1.6TB SAS SSD is certified for use with HPE ProLiant Gen11 and Gen12 servers. Use the HPE SSD Selector Tool at ssd.hpe.com to validate compatibility with your specific server model.

Q: What does FIPS 140-3 certification mean for this drive?
A: FIPS 140-3 is a US federal standard for cryptographic module security. This SED (Self-Encrypting Drive) has been independently validated to meet FIPS 140-3 requirements, making it suitable for government, defence, healthcare, and regulated enterprise environments where data-at-rest encryption compliance is mandatory.

Q: What is the difference between the Basic Carrier (BC) and Smart Carrier variants?
A: The Basic Carrier (BC) variant provides standard hot-plug functionality without the LED activity indicators and health status reporting available on the Smart Carrier (SC) variant. BC drives are typically used in deployments where the carrier management features of the Smart Carrier are not required, and they are generally more cost-effective.

Q: Is this SSD suitable for high-write workloads?
A: Yes. The PM7 SSD is rated for Mixed Use (MU) workloads at 3 Drive Writes Per Day (DWPD) with 8,760 TB total lifetime writes. This endurance profile makes it suitable for database applications, analytics, and virtualisation environments that involve a significant volume of write operations.

Q: Does this drive support hardware-level encryption without a separate controller?
A: Yes. The self-encrypting drive (SED) technology encrypts all data at the drive level using hardware-based AES encryption, independently of the host system or storage controller. This ensures always-on encryption with no performance overhead compared to software encryption solutions.
