Solid State Drives (SSDs) are fast becoming a real force with respect to storage in the computer industry. With no moving parts, storage is no longer bound by mechanical barriers to higher performance. HP's Enterprise Class SLC (Single-Level Cell) SSD offers sustained performance beyond that of SAS 15k rpm HDDs (Hard Disk Drives).

• Higher overall performance than 15k HDDs based on random IOPs, sustained reads and sustained writes.


• Lower systems level acoustical emissions than systems with HDDs, especially 15k rpm HDDs


• More rugged than HDDs with respect to shock and vibration
