why does it cost 439 dollars when the average 512 gb SSD costs like 60 dollars; this is nowhere comparable to the average SSD in terms of price

Asked by: bob69420666
Thank you for your question! The HP Z Turbo Drive features the next-generation PCIe NVMe SSD. This M.2 form factor device uses PCIe Gen3 x4 which enables performance levels greater than 3GB/s, which is roughly 6x greater than SATA SSDs. The Random Read performance is significantly improved also, due to the NVMe controller technology used on the device. This performance is available at a price that is comparable to commercial SATA SSDs. The HP Z Turbo Drive will be supported on desktop platforms of HP Z Workstations including Z2 G4 SFF and tower, Z2 G4 Mini, Z4, Z6 and Z8 G4, Z240, Z440, Z640 and Z840. It will support storage configurations as a Boot device and as a Data device. It also can be configured with other storage components including SATA and SAS drives and controllers. Not all configurations are available from the factory. It is also supported by our current offering of Operating Systems, including Linux, and may require a separate driver, depending on OS. It does require a BIOS update for Z440, Z640, and Z840 systems shipped prior to the Z Turbo Drive launch, minimum BIOS is 1.53. Z2 G4, Z4 G4, Z6 G4, and Z8 G4 have been enabled for Z Turbo Drive prior to launch, and do not require a minimum BIOS revision. The HP Z Turbo Drive comes with a custom thermal solution to keep the device within full performance operating temperatures. This solution consists of a heat sink and thermal pads to make a solid thermal connection between the heatsink and the M.2 SSD. Without adequate cooling, PCIe NVMe SSDs will throttle down their performance significantly, until the device cools off, to get back in the acceptable operating temperature range. This NVMe SSD is designed for HP Z8 G4 Workstations. This is a commercial grade NVMe SSD.
