HP introduces a new line of SSDs, the S750, a 2.5-inch storage device in the 2.5-inch form factor with multiple capacities, and relatively high throughput.
This S750 SSD targets the consumer market. It has the shape of a classic 2.5-inch hard drive and uses a 6 Gbps SATA interface. The offer consists of three capacities with 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB.
Under the hood, the mechanics are based on 96-layer 3D NAND flash 3D chips, which are operated via an SMI controller.
This flash drive is dependent on the bandwidth offered by the 6 Gbps SATA interface. As a result, speeds are modest with this type of technology. Up to 560 Mb/s in sequential reading, and 520 Mb/s in sequential writing are announced. The IOPS results for 4K file processing for the 256GB variant are 55K and 79K for random reading and writing. They increase to 90K and 89K for the 512GB model and 74K and 80K for the 1TB model.
Finally, on the endurance side, we have corresponding values of 160TBW, 320TBW, and 650TBW. No price is mentioned in the HP press release.
