Description
Product overview
The HPE Alletra 6000 92TB (12×7.68TB) NVMe Flash Carrier Flash Field Upgrade (SKU: R7S91A) is a high-density capacity expansion option for HPE Alletra 6000 all‑flash arrays, providing 92 TB of raw NVMe storage in a single carrier. It is designed for organisations running business‑critical workloads that need to scale performance and capacity non‑disruptively while maintaining the Alletra 6000 cloud‑operational experience.
​
This field upgrade uses twelve 7.68 TB NVMe solid‑state drives in an HPE Alletra 6000 flash carrier, allowing you to grow your usable and effective capacity within the supported raw‑capacity limits of the platform. It is ideal for databases, virtualisation, analytics, and other latency‑sensitive applications that benefit from NVMe media and the Alletra 6000 architecture.
​
Key features
92 TB raw NVMe capacity in a single carrier, using 12 x 7.68 TB NVMe SSDs designed for HPE Alletra 6000 arrays.
​
Field upgrade option, allowing online expansion of existing Alletra 6000 systems when installed according to HPE guidelines and supported configurations.
​
Built on the HPE Alletra 6000 all‑flash architecture, which offers low latency, high availability and a cloud‑like operating experience managed through HPE GreenLake and HPE data services.
​
NVMe media optimised for mixed and business‑critical workloads, leveraging the Alletra 6000 data reduction and data services stack (subject to model and software configuration).
​
Integrates with the platform’s high‑availability design, including dual controllers, non‑disruptive upgrades and data‑at‑rest protection features provided by Alletra 6000 arrays.
​
Technical highlights
Because the detailed line for R7S91A is part of the Alletra 6000 configuration/QuickSpecs, and I cannot open that entry live, the following points reflect what is generally correct for a 92 TB (12×7.68 TB) NVMe flash carrier field upgrade in this family, without inventing missing details.
​
Product type: NVMe flash carrier field upgrade for HPE Alletra 6000 storage arrays (capacity expansion kit).
​
Raw capacity: 92 TB per carrier, implemented as 12 x 7.68 TB NVMe SSDs.
​
Platform: HPE Alletra Storage 6000 series (models such as 6010, 6030, 6050, 6070, 6090; exact support depends on configuration and QuickSpecs revision).
​
Media type: NVMe solid‑state drives in HPE Alletra 6000 flash carrier; designed for use within official HPE Alletra 6000 shelves and not as standalone drives.
​
Use case: Increasing on‑array capacity for business‑critical and latency‑sensitive workloads where Alletra 6000’s data services and performance characteristics are required.
​
For precise compatibility (array model, maximum supported raw capacity, required software/firmware levels and any slot‑population rules), you should refer directly to the latest HPE Alletra 6000 QuickSpecs (document a50002567enw or newer) and your distributor’s or HPE’s configuration tools.
​
Deployment and use cases
This 92 TB NVMe flash carrier field upgrade is suitable for customers who already own HPE Alletra 6000 systems and need to scale capacity for:
​
Virtual server and VDI environments.
Business‑critical databases and transactional systems.
Consolidated mixed workloads with stringent SLA requirements.
Analytics and reporting workloads that benefit from NVMe latency.
Because it is a field upgrade, it is intended to be added to existing arrays within supported raw‑capacity and enclosure limits, following HPE installation and service guidance. This helps you extend the lifespan and value of your current Alletra 6000 deployment without purchasing a new array chassis.
