Capacity Specifications The following table lists system capacity and configuration details. NOTE: NOTE: SSDs have a limited number of writes that can occur before reaching the SSD's write endurance limit. This limit is generally high enough so wear out will not occur during the expected service life of an HP 3PAR StoreServ under the great majority of configurations, IO patterns, and workloads. HP 3PAR StoreServ tracks all writes to SSDs and can report the percent of the total write endurance limit that has been used. This allows any SSD approaching the write endurance limit to be proactively replaced before they are automatically spared out. An SSD has reached the maximum usage limit once it exceeds its write endurance limit. Following the product warranty period, SSDs that have exceeded the maximum usage limit will not be repaired or replaced under HP support contracts.
