HP MM0500GBKAK 500GB 2.5-inch SATA Enterprise SSD (614829-002)
The HP MM0500GBKAK (P/N 614829-002) is a 500GB enterprise SATA solid-state drive in a 2.5-inch SFF form factor, operating over a SATA 6Gb/s (SATA III) interface. This is an HP-branded enterprise SSD designed for HP ProLiant server and storage array use — it is not a consumer SSD, not an NVMe drive, and not SAS. Maximum sequential throughput is limited to approximately 550 MB/s by the SATA III interface ceiling. Condition: Refurbished — Tested & Certified by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS.
Engineering Context
The MM0500GBKAK is an HP-branded enterprise SATA SSD using the standard SATA III (6Gb/s) interface, delivering up to approximately 550 MB/s sequential read throughput at the SATA III ceiling. The 2.5-inch SFF (Small Form Factor) form factor with hot-swap tray compatibility makes it a direct replacement for HP ProLiant server drive bays that accept 2.5-inch SATA or SAS/SATA drives. Enterprise SATA SSDs provide significantly higher IOPS and lower latency than spinning hard drives for boot, OS, and read-heavy workloads, while maintaining broad compatibility with existing SAS/SATA backplanes. At 500GB, this capacity serves server boot, operating system, light application storage, and read cache use cases.
Deployment & Use Cases
HP ProLiant Server Boot Drive: Drop-in SSD replacement for aging HDDs in HP ProLiant Gen8/Gen9/Gen10 server drive bays using HP SmartDrive trays.
Read-Intensive Workloads: Web serving, content delivery, and database read caches where SATA bandwidth (~550 MB/s) is sufficient.
Legacy Storage Refresh: Upgrading HDD-based HP server storage to SSD without changing the SAS/SATA backplane or storage controller.
VMware ESXi / Hyper-V Boot Volume: OS and hypervisor boot storage for virtualized HP ProLiant servers.

Compatibility & Hard Constraints
SATA Only: The HP 614829-002 (MM0500GBKAK) uses SATA 6Gb/s. It does not support NVMe or SAS protocols. It connects to standard SATA ports or SAS/SATA mixed backplanes.
Not NVMe: For workloads requiring higher throughput or lower latency than SATA III (~550 MB/s ceiling), NVMe SSDs over PCIe are required.
HP Tray Compatibility: This drive is designed for HP ProLiant server drive trays. Verify that the SFF drive tray/caddy matches your specific HP ProLiant server generation (Gen8, Gen9, Gen10). The drive itself uses a standard SATA connector and will work in any SATA-compatible 2.5-inch bay, but the HP tray may not fit non-HP servers.
Refurbished: Drive health should be verified using SMART data after installation. T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS tests each drive before shipment.
