Frequently Asked Questions

What does the -003 suffix indicate on P26294-003?

The -003 suffix denotes a regional or revision variant of the P26294 part number family. The core hardware specifications — 3.2TB SAS 24Gb/s mixed-use digitally signed TLC SSD with Basic Carrier — are identical across variants. Verify interchangeability with your specific HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus/Gen11 configuration via HPE QuickSpecs.

What is the advantage of SAS 24Gb/s over SAS 12Gb/s for mixed-use SSDs?

SAS 24Gb/s doubles the interface bandwidth of SAS 12Gb/s — from ~1.2 GB/s to ~2.4 GB/s per port — providing higher throughput for intensive mixed read/write workloads. For 3.2TB mixed-use SSDs at high IOPS, SAS 24Gb/s ensures the interface does not bottleneck SSD performance, especially in dual-port redundant configurations.

Is TLC suitable for mixed-use workloads at 3.2TB?

Yes — HPE mixed-use TLC SSDs are rated at ~3 DWPD endurance, validated for balanced read/write workloads including databases, virtualization, and OLTP. The 3.2TB capacity ensures sufficient over-provisioning and write leveling to support ~3 DWPD enterprise mixed-use TLC endurance across the drive's lifecycle.
