HPE 800GB SAS 6Gb/s SFF (2.5-inch) Enterprise Mainstream (EM) MLC SmartDrive SSD Assembly P/N: 690811-003 | Spare P/N: 691027-001 | Option P/N: 690829-B21 | Model: MO0800FCTRQ The HPE 690811-003 is a highly resilient enterprise-grade solid-state drive built for mid-to-high level server transactional processing. Classified by HPE as a Mainstream Endurance (ME) or Enterprise Mainstream (EM) drive, it bridges the gap between lower-tier read-intensive drives and premium write-heavy logging drives. Built on premium MLC NAND flash and native 6Gb/s SAS dual-port circuitry, it delivers stable, predictable IOPS performance alongside the specialized monitoring safety tools expected in a modern high-availability server tray. 📊 Technical Specifications Capacity: 💾 800 GB Interface: ⚡ SAS 6Gb/s (Dual-Port / Multi-Path Capable) Form Factor: 📏 2.5-inch SFF (Small Form Factor) NAND Type: 🧠 Multi-Level Cell (MLC) Enterprise Flash Carrier Type: 🛒 SC (SmartDrive Carrier Hot-Plug Tray) Workload Application: 📁 Enterprise Mainstream (EM) / Mixed-Use (MU) Endurance Rating: 🛡️ Mainstream Endurance (Optimized for heavy daily mix write cycles)
✅ Product Overview HPE SmartDrive Carrier (SC) Tech: Housed natively in the Gen8 / Gen9 SmartDrive caddy framework. The specialized layout utilizes contextual status LEDs and activity counters to guide system admins during maintenance, preventing accidental drive extraction while data strips are rebuilding. Balanced Mainstream Endurance: Engineered specifically for business applications facing unpredictable reads and writes simultaneously. Its hardware layout handles rapid changes in write requests without introducing the "performance lag" common to standard read-only boot drives. Dual-Port SAS Subsystem: Provides comprehensive active-active pathways to the server's backplane. If an expansion loop, host bus adapter, or data line drops communication, the server maps traffic over the auxiliary port seamlessly. Integrated Wear Gauge Monitoring: Fully compatible with official HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge utilities, allowing your server dashboard to monitor real-time flash wear, write history metrics, and predictive failure telemetry.
📦 Compatibility & Use Case Target Systems: HPE ProLiant Gen8 & Gen9 Servers: Native fit for DL160, DL360, DL380, DL560, ML350, BL460c, and SL-series computing blades. HPE Storage Enclosures: Works across select HPE drive shelves configured for standard 2.5" Small Form Factor hot-plug trays.
Ideal Workloads: Virtual Machine Hosting: Excellent mid-tier node drive for balancing dense vSphere, Proxmox, or Hyper-V clustered environments. 💡 Condition Check: Your inventory marks this as REF (Refurbished). When staging this drive for shipping, ensure that the connection gold-fingers are fully cleaned and that the SmartDrive carrier lever latches securely into position. 💡 Backward & Forward Matching: While this tray is physically optimized for HPE ProLiant Gen8 and Gen9 server bays, it is backward and forward compatible with the underlying SAS controllers across multiple server architectures, provided the target system supports 2.5" SFF 6G hot-plug infrastructure. The HPE 690811-003 enterprise drive is a highly capable system component. Its mixture of multi-path SAS stability and robust enterprise mainstream endurance makes it a valuable asset for server arrays requiring reliable, balanced performance.
