HP Z Turbo Drive G2 256GB PCIe SSD
The HP Z Turbo Drive G2 is a 256GB PCIe-connected solid state drive engineered for HP Z Workstations, offering sequential read and write speeds roughly twice as fast as a comparable SATA SSD when used as a boot or data device.Overview
Storage built on NAND media has outgrown the bandwidth limits of the SATA bus, so the HP Z Turbo Drive G2 connects directly to the PCIe bus instead. This 256GB drive is designed for HP Z Workstation desktop platforms and can be configured as either a boot device or a data device.
