HP S700 500GB SATA 3 2.5" SSD

• Storage Capacity: 500GB - Offers a moderate amount of storage space suitable for a variety of applications, including operating system files, software, and user data like documents, photos, and videos.

• Interface: SATA 3 (SATA III) - Utilizes the SATA III interface, which provides a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of 6Gbps. This interface is backward compatible with SATA II, though the performance will be limited to SATA II speeds if used with older hardware.

• Form Factor: 2.5-inch - The standard form factor for SSDs and traditional hard drives, making it compatible with most laptops and desktop computers that support 2.5-inch drives. It is also commonly used as a replacement for older mechanical hard drives.

• Performance:

  • Sequential Read Speed: Up to 550MB/s - Provides fast data access for improved system boot times and application loading.
  • Sequential Write Speed: Up to 500MB/s - Ensures quick data writing, which is beneficial for tasks such as file transfers and program installations.

• Type of NAND Flash: Typically uses TLC (Triple-Level Cell) NAND flash, which balances performance, endurance, and cost. However, specifics may vary, so checking the exact specifications from HP or the product details is recommended.

• Durability and Reliability:

  • MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): Often rated for high reliability and long operational life, with a typical MTBF of 1.5 million hours or more.
  • TRIM Support: Supports the TRIM command, which helps maintain the SSD's performance over time by enabling the operating system to inform the SSD which blocks of data are no longer in use and can be wiped internally.

• Data Security: Often includes features like ECC (Error-Correcting Code) to ensure data integrity and reliability, protecting against data corruption.

• Software: May come with management software from HP that allows users to monitor the drive’s health, firmware updates, and performance metrics.

• Design: Compact and lightweight, fitting seamlessly into devices with 2.5-inch drive bays. Its form factor makes it suitable for both laptops and desktops, as well as for use in external enclosures.
