Frequently Asked Questions

Is M0T66A the recommended procurement SKU for new 3PAR StoreServ 8000 FIPS SSD builds?

Yes — M0T66A is the base option kit and the standard new-deployment procurement SKU. For field replacement, 879397-001 or P08724-001 spare designations are equivalent. M0T66B is the regional variant — choose based on your HPE regional procurement channel.

Is M0T66A interchangeable with M0T66B, 879397-001, and P08724-001?

Yes — all are HPE 3.84TB SAS 12Gb/s cMLC FIPS SSDs with identical hardware for 3PAR StoreServ 8000. M0T66A, M0T66B, 879397-001, P08724-001, and ARFX3840S5xnFTRI are fully interchangeable in validated 3PAR StoreServ 8000 drive bays.

What is cMLC NAND and is it suitable for 3PAR StoreServ 8000 workloads?

cMLC provides high capacity per cell at cost-effective densities, suited for read-dominant and moderate write workloads. 3PAR StoreServ 8000's tiered architecture manages NAND endurance at the array level, making cMLC appropriate for capacity-tier SSD workloads where write amplification is managed by 3PAR's RAID and thin provisioning algorithms.
