HPE 400GB NVMe PCIe 2.5inch SSD

The HPE 400GB NVMe PCIe 2.5inch SSD Server Hard Drive ( part number 764891-001 ), is a high performance solid state drive for HPE servers. This solid state memory improves the communication between the server and the disk by using the NVMe PCIe interface and increases system performance. In this article, we will review and criticize this SSD hard server.

SSD or HDD?

The main differences between HDDs (Hard Disk Drives) and SSDs (Solid State Drives) lie in their technology, performance, reliability, and physical characteristics:

1. Technology:
   • HDD: HDDs use spinning magnetic disks (platters) coated with magnetic material and read/write heads that move over the platters to access data.
   • SSD: SSDs use flash memory chips (NAND flash) to store data electronically. They have no moving parts.
2. Performance:
   • HDD: Typically slower in data access speeds and latency due to mechanical components and spinning disks. They are measured in RPM (revolutions per minute).
   • SSD: Much faster in data access speeds and latency because there are no moving parts. Data access is almost instantaneous.
3. Reliability:
   • HDD: More prone to mechanical failure and data loss due to moving parts and wear over time. Susceptible to shocks and vibrations.
   • SSD: Generally more reliable and durable because they have no moving parts. Less susceptible to shocks and vibrations.
4. Noise and Power Consumption:
   • HDD: Audible mechanical noise due to spinning disks and moving parts. Consumes more power compared to SSDs.
   • SSD: Completely silent operation as there are no moving parts. Consumes less power, leading to lower energy usage and heat generation.
5. Capacity and Cost:
   • HDD: Typically offers larger storage capacities at lower costs per gigabyte compared to SSDs.
   • SSD: Generally has higher cost per gigabyte and offers smaller storage capacities in comparison to HDDs, although prices have been decreasing.
6. Form Factor:
   • HDD: Usually available in 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch form factors for desktops and laptops respectively, and larger for enterprise servers.
   • SSD: Available in various form factors including 2.5-inch, M.2, and PCIe add-in cards. Compact and lightweight.

In conclusion, HDDs are conventional storage systems that have mechanical read/write heads and spinning disks. They are more expensive but have slower performance and are more prone to physical damage. However, SSDs are more expensive per gigabyte and usually have smaller capacity than SSDs. SSDs, on the other hand, use flash memory for faster speed, increased reliability, lower power consumption, and silent operation. The decision between HDD and SSD is influenced by a number of variables, including budget, performance needs, and particular use cases (such as long-term storage in desktop computers or high-speed data access in servers).
