HP 512GB SATA Solid State Drive

Compatible with all Z-Workstations, the 512GB SATA Solid State Drive from HP is an SSD with a 512GB capacity, a 2.5″ form factor, a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, a sustained read speed of up to 500 MB/s, and a sustained write speed of up to 260 MB/s. It will help improve system performance and allow you to store and quickly access files such as movies, photos, music, documents, and more. Since SSDs have no moving parts, they do not need to spin up or mechanically seek files like a traditional hard drive. They are more resistant to damage from bumps and drops, receive less wear and tear due to the absence of read and write heads, and operate with faster data transfer speeds. This SSD also operates with reduced noise as compared to a spinning hard drive and its reduced cooling requirements allow the system it is installed in to maintain lower fan speeds. Included with this SSD is a 3.5″ mounting bracket, allowing it to be mounted in 3.5″ drive bays. It may also be mounted in optical bays through the use of separately sold brackets.
