Solid State Drives
HP 128 GB, 180 GB, and 256 GB Solid State Drives
The HP 128 GB and 180 GB Solid State Drives provide many performance and durability improvements over traditional Hard Disk Drive
(HDD) technology. With no moving parts, solid state drives do not need to spin up or mechanically seek files like conventional hard disk
drives do. These drive characteristics significantly improve boot-up, shut down, and application loading times as well as overall
application responsiveness.
The HP 256 GB SED Solid State Drive includes Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Opal-compliant self-encryption for enhanced data
security that adds a layer of authentication to your drive.
Key Benefits Store your data with a hard drive with no moving parts
Get faster transfer speeds and higher cell endurance with Multi Level Cell (MLC) NAND flash memory
Significantly improve boot up, shut down, and application loading times
Improved protocol for enhanced data integrity
Performance increase to up to 6 Gb/s maximum external (burst) data transfer rate
Native Command Queuing allows the drive to have several write or read commands outstanding at
the same time
