HPE P26502-004 (PM1733) 15.36TB NVMe SSD Enterprise Solid State Drive Product Introduction

Product Overview

        HPE P26502-004 (disk model PM1733) is a masterpiece that represents the perfect combination of capacity, performance, and enterprise level reliability. As one of the highest capacity points of the PM1733 series, it integrates PCIe 4.0's ultra-high bandwidth, dual port high availability, and unprecedented 15.36TB storage capacity in a standard 2.5-inch form factor. It is designed specifically for capacity intensive critical task workloads in modern data centers, aiming to provide both massive and extremely fast storage resources for large databases, virtualized oceans, and data analytics lakes.

This hard drive must be used in conjunction with its dedicated NVMe hard drive adapter (such as P37832-001) to properly install into HPE Gen11 (such as ProLiant Gen11) and compatible storage systems that support PCIe 4.0 and NVMe.

1. Core features and specifications

        Capacity: 15.36 Terabytes (TB)

       High storage density has been achieved in the 2.5-inch specification, significantly increasing single rack capacity and effectively reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) and space occupancy.

        Interface and Protocol: NVMe over PCIe 4.0 x4 Lanes

        Fully utilize the double bandwidth of PCIe Gen4 to ensure extremely high sequential and random read/write speeds even under high capacity, avoiding becoming a         performance bottleneck.

        Form Factor: 2.5 inches U.3 (SFF-TA-1001)

        U. The 3-interface backplane is forward-looking and intelligently compatible with SAS, SATA, and NVMe hard drives, providing unparalleled deployment flexibility.              Attention: The server backplane needs to support U.3/NVMe.

         Performance indicators (typical values):

          Continuous reading speed: up to 6900 MB/s

         Continuous write speed: up to 4200 MB/s

          Random read IOPS (4K): up to 1300000

          Random write IOPS (4K): up to 250000

          Note: This is a typical performance under PCIe 4.0, and the specific values vary depending on server configuration and workload. Its writing performance is particularly impressive.

          Durability and reliability:

          DWPD (Daily Whole Disk Write Count): Typically 1.6 (within the 5-year warranty period). This means that during the 5-year warranty period, it can write 15.36TB  1.6=~24.6TB of data per day, demonstrating its amazing durability.

         TBW (maximum number of bytes that can be written): 44.9 Petabytes (PB)

Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF): 2500000 hours Advanced features:

          Dual Port NVMe: Core Enterprise Features! Provide two independent PCIe ports, support active active high availability configuration, completely eliminate single point of failure on storage paths, and provide continuity and redundancy guarantees for critical business.

         Enhanced Power Loss Protection (ePLP): Adopting a fully capacitive power-off protection scheme, it ensures that all cached data can be safely written to flash memory in the event of an unexpected power outage, ensuring absolute data integrity.

         HPE exclusive firmware and integration: Pre flashing HPE intelligent firmware, providing deep integration with management tools such as HPE iLO 6 (Gen11) and HPE InfoSight, enabling predictive analysis, health monitoring, and worry free operations.

2. Conversion rack: P37832-001

        Function: This is a dedicated NVMe hard drive conversion rack (or shelf) designed for specific HPE server platforms such as Gen11. Its internal circuitry is designed specifically for connecting PCIe 4.0 signals.

        Importance: It is strictly prohibited to mix with SAS, SATA, or older NVMe shelves. The use of the correct bracket is key to ensuring PCIe 4.0 link stability, achieving nominal performance, and optimal heat dissipation.

        Features: Includes hard drive activity/fault status indicator lights, drive positioning indicator lights (used to quickly locate specific hard drives in the chassis), and security lock holes.

3. Typical application scenarios

         This top of the line high-capacity NVMe SSD is designed specifically for the most demanding enterprise applications:

         Very Large Database (VLDB): accommodates the entire SAP HANA, Oracle, SQL Server database and provides extremely fast query and transaction processing speeds.

Virtualization Infrastructure (VDI&Virtualization): Supports thousands of virtual desktops (VDI) or a large number of virtual machines, providing a fast startup and runtime experience.

        Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) Data Lake: Storing and Quickly Processing Massive Unstructured Training Data.

       Software Defined Storage (SDS) Full Flash Array: As a high-performance and high-capacity main storage layer, build powerful SDS solutions.

        Real time data analysis and business intelligence (BI): perform rapid real-time analysis on large-scale datasets.

4. Compatibility

        Server Platform: Newer models of HPE servers that support PCIe 4.0 and U.3/NVMe backplanes are required.

        For example, the HPE ProLiant Gen11 series (such as DL380 Gen11, DL360 Gen11) is its main platform. It may also be compatible with some HPE Alollo and Synergy systems.
