Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this drive in a standard desktop computer?

No. This drive is designed specifically for HPE servers and workstations utilizing SAS controllers; it will not function in standard SATA desktop ports.

What does 'Mixed Use' mean for this SSD?

Mixed Use refers to the drive's endurance rating, indicating it is optimized for workloads that involve a balanced mix of read and write operations rather than purely read-intensive tasks.

Does this drive support hardware encryption?

No, this specific model (P19913-B21) does not feature hardware-based encryption.

Is this drive hot-swappable?

Yes, this drive supports Hot-Plug functionality, allowing you to replace or install it while the server is running, provided the backplane and controller support this feature.

How do I monitor the lifespan of the SSD?

You can monitor the drive's lifespan using the HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge, which provides data on the remaining endurance of the drive.

What is the primary difference between this and a SATA SSD?

This SAS SSD offers double the IOPS performance of SATA drives and supports a 12 Gb/s interface, making it significantly faster for transactional workloads.

Troubleshooting

Drive status LED shows error or is not illuminated.

Ensure the drive is properly seated in the bay. Check if the backplane is receiving power and if the RAID controller detects the new hardware.

Lower than expected performance speeds.

Verify that the drive is connected to a 12 Gb/s SAS-capable controller port, as connection to a slower port or interface will limit performance.

Drive not recognized by the operating system.

Access the server's BIOS or RAID configuration utility to initialize the drive and ensure the appropriate SAS drivers are installed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly higher IOPS performance compared to SATA SSDs
  • Full data-path error detection for improved data accuracy
  • Hot-Plug support for easy maintenance without server downtime
  • High endurance TLC memory designed for enterprise environments

Cons

  • Requires specific HPE server hardware compatibility
  • Higher initial cost compared to standard consumer SATA drives
  • Not compatible with NVMe-only interface slots

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the P19913-B21 is straightforward thanks to the HPE Smart Carrier design, which allows for quick insertion into compatible HPE server drive bays with Hot-Plug support.

  1. Ensure the server is powered on and the backplane is accessible.
  2. Align the drive with the drive bay rails.
  3. Slide the drive in until the latch engages. The status icons will indicate if the drive is recognized and active.

Compatibility is limited to HPE servers and workstations that support SAS 12 Gb/s interfaces. Always verify your specific server model documentation for drive bay compatibility. To maintain the health of the drive, avoid extreme temperature fluctuations and ensure the server chassis airflow is unobstructed. Use the HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge software to perform routine checks on the drive's endurance status, ensuring you replace the unit before it reaches its wear-out limit.
