Description
730146-001 Technical Specification
HP 480GB MLC SATA 6Gbps Quick Release 2.5-inch Internal Solid State Drive with Tray
The HP 730146-001 is a 480GB Enterprise Value SATA Solid State Drive built for HPE ProLiant servers running mission-critical workloads. Unlike consumer-grade drives, it uses Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND flash, which stores two bits per cell — giving data centers a reliable middle ground between the raw speed of SLC drives and the lower cost of TLC/QLC drives, without sacrificing write endurance over long duty cycles.
Built in a 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) chassis with a 6Gb/s SATA III interface, this drive slots directly into HPE Smart Carrier trays for tool-less, hot-swappable installation. It’s commonly deployed as a boot drive, cache tier, or secondary storage layer in HPE ProLiant Gen8, Gen9, and Gen10 server generations.
Key Features
- Capacity: 480GB — suited for OS boot volumes, virtualization hosts, and application storage
- Interface: SATA 6Gbps (backward compatible with SATA 3Gbps/1.5Gbps systems)
- Flash Type: MLC NAND for higher write endurance vs. TLC drives
- Form Factor: 2.5-inch SFF with HPE Smart Carrier / Quick Release tray
- Use Case: Data centers, server virtualization, database hosting, backup tiers
- Compatibility: HPE ProLiant DL/ML/BL series servers (Gen8–Gen10)
Because this is an enterprise-tier drive rather than a consumer SSD, it’s rated for higher DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) endurance — making it a solid fit for environments with frequent read/write cycles such as virtual machines, hypervisor hosts, and transactional databases.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. What is the HP 730146-001?
It’s an HPE Enterprise Value SATA SSD with 480GB capacity, purpose-built for ProLiant servers. It combines a 6Gbps SATA interface with MLC flash storage in a 2.5-inch hot-swap form factor.
Q2. How much storage does the 730146-001 offer?
480GB — enough for operating systems, hypervisor images, application binaries, and moderate database workloads on enterprise servers.
Q3. Which interface does this drive support?
SATA III (6Gbps), giving fast, stable data transfer while remaining compatible with older SATA-based backplanes and controllers.
Q4. Is the 730146-001 an SSD or a traditional hard drive?
It’s a solid-state drive (SSD), meaning there are no moving parts — data is stored on flash memory chips instead of spinning magnetic platters, resulting in faster access times and better shock resistance.
Q5. What kind of NAND flash does it use?
MLC (Multi-Level Cell) NAND, which balances performance and endurance — a common choice for enterprise SSDs that need to handle sustained read/write activity over years of operation.
Q6. Which HPE servers is the 730146-001 compatible with?
It’s designed for use in HPE ProLiant DL, ML, and BL series servers across Gen8, Gen9, and Gen10 platforms, using the Smart Carrier tray for tool-less installation.
Q7. Is the 730146-001 hot-swappable?
Yes — when installed in a compatible HPE Smart Carrier tray, the drive supports hot-swap replacement without powering down the server.
