FAQs

Q: Which HPE MSA arrays is the S4M81A SSD compatible with?
A: The HPE MSA 1.92TB FIPS Encrypted SSD (S4M81A) is compatible with HPE MSA 1060, MSA 2060, and MSA Gen7 storage arrays. It ships in a Second Generation MSA Carrier for direct, tool-less installation into supported enclosures.

Q: What does FIPS encryption mean for this SSD, and who needs it?
A: FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) encryption means this drive's cryptographic module has been independently certified by NIST and CSE to Level 2 security requirements. It is required by organisations in government, defence, finance, and healthcare sectors that must meet strict data-at-rest compliance mandates.

Q: Is this drive suitable for mixed read/write workloads?
A: This drive is optimised for Read Intensive workloads — environments where the majority of I/O operations are reads, such as web serving, content delivery, database queries, and virtualisation. For balanced or write-heavy workloads, HPE offers Mixed Use or Write Intensive MSA SSD variants.

Q: Does the S4M81A support hot-plug installation?
A: Yes. The Second Generation MSA Carrier included with the drive supports tool-less, hot-plug installation, allowing the drive to be inserted or replaced without powering down the storage array — minimising disruption to live environments.
