Frequently Asked Questions

What is cMLC and how does it compare to eMLC for enterprise SSDs?

cMLC (consumer MLC) uses standard MLC NAND with consumer-grade endurance ratings — lower write endurance than eMLC (enterprise MLC) but higher capacity per cell at lower cost. cMLC is suitable for read-dominant and archive workloads where write cycles are limited. For heavy write workloads, eMLC or TLC enterprise-grade SSDs are preferred.

What is the difference between 834598-001 (SAS 6Gb/s) and 879397-001 (SAS 12Gb/s)?

834598-001 uses a SAS 6Gb/s interface for legacy HPE storage platforms, while 879397-001 uses SAS 12Gb/s for HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000. SAS 12Gb/s offers double the interface bandwidth of SAS 6Gb/s. Ensure your storage controller matches the drive's SAS generation before ordering.

Does FIPS validation differ between SAS 6Gb/s and SAS 12Gb/s FIPS SSDs?

FIPS 140-2 validation covers the cryptographic module independent of the interface speed. Both 834598-001 and 879397-001 are FIPS 140-2 validated — the difference is interface speed and target platform compatibility, not the level of cryptographic certification.
