HP Solid State Drives (SSDs) for Workstations

Introduction

Solid State Drives (SSDs) are fast becoming a real force with respect to storage in the computer industry. With no moving parts,

storage is no longer bound by mechanical barriers to higher performance. HP SSDs for workstations offer overall performance

significantly beyond that of SAS 15k rpm HDDs (Hard Disk Drives).

SSDs should be considered for most workstations since the number of processor cores and overall processing power can be

limited by the I/O performance of the storage subsystem. For applications where 15k rpm HDDs deliver a performance

improvement over standard SATA HDDs, an HP SSD will likely deliver even better performance.

Solid State Drives measure Access Time in microseconds (65 to 85) as opposed to the best HDDs (15k rpm) being measured in

milliseconds (~6ms); the SSD is about 70 times faster. In addition, the extremely high average sustained read performance (up to

560MB/s) is considerably higher than the average sustained read performance of 15k rpm HDDs available today (180MB/s to

250MB/s*). The result is a much higher performance potential. Random IOPs (I/O Operations per second) are in a class of their

own, up to 20X faster than 15k rpm HDDs. This obviously helps with database operations but it also helps with OS and application

performance. Users experience faster boot and data load times, faster application loading and snappier system response. This is

especially true where the workflow has a large percentage of random reads and writes.

SSDs help lower the acoustical emissions of the workstation. No moving parts means SSDs inherently have no acoustic emissions,

e.g. noise. Furthermore, they consume much less power than Workstation class HDDs so less air is needed for cooling. The result is

lower system fan speeds and therefore, lower acoustics.

SSDs tend to be more rugged than hard drives with respect to shock and vibration because SSDs have no moving parts.

Performance

HP 128GB SATA 6Gb/s SSD:

(includes 2.5" and mSATA form factors)

Up to 560MB/s sustained reads and up to 400MB/s sustained writes.

Up to 90K IOPS (Random Read) and up to 88K IOPS (Random Writes).

Power Consumption (typical):

Active: 150mW

Idle: 70mW

Endurance (TBW): 100TB

Mean time to failure (MTTF): 1.5 million hours

HP 256GB SATA 6Gb/s SSD:(SED and non-SED version)

(includes 2.5" and mSATA form factors)

Up to 560MB/s sustained reads and up to 510MB/s sustained writes.

Up to 100K IOPS (Random Read) and up to 88K IOPS (Random Writes).Power Consumption (typical):

Active: 150mW

Idle: 70mW

Endurance (TBW): 200TB

Mean time to failure (MTTF): 1.5 million hours

The 256GB Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) version has similar performance to the standard 256GB SSD. It is also available in Opal 1.0

and Opal 2.0 versions.

QuickSpecs HP Solid State Drives (SSDs) for Workstations Overview Form Factor These SSDs are 7mm SFF (Small Form Factor, 2.5") drives, which are mounted in a removable 3.5" Frame. The SSD can be mounted in either a standard 3.5" bay or in a SFF, 2.5" bay by removing the 3.5" frame. Intelligent System Maintenance SSDs emulate HDDs such that the operating system thinks it is talking to a hard drive. However the physical data mapping is quite different.
