Page 1: HP P 700 in the test: two-part external SSD with integrated connection cable

at the HP P 700 SSD with a capacity of 1 TB, it is a two-part external SSD, which with its unusual concept approaches the topic of external SSDs a little differently than usual. In addition to a clever way of storing the cable and a connection adapter, you also get a wealth of technical data on the SSD. Whether the HP P 700 their 1 . 000 MB / s maximum transfer rate and where the two-part concept can be improved can be found in our article experienced.

With the HP P 700 is an external SSD with a capacity of 1 TB. The P 700 is also available in 256 GB and 512 GB. Support the P type SSDs 700 the USB 3.2 Gen 2 standard and should both read and write 1. 000 Achieve MB / s as the maximum transfer rate. The fact that this is not a standard model is not only apparent at first glance. The two-part dark case is kept extremely simple and apart from the USB-C port on the lower side, there is only an HP logo on the front. If you split the two slightly form-fitting halves of the housing, you will find the USB Type-C to USB-Type-A cable and, quite curiously, a USB-A to Type-C adapter.

From their function here the HP P 700 so already from the average of external SSDs. A look at the data sheet shows us further special features. The exact information on the performance of the built-in SSD is unusual. In addition to the usual information on the maximum transfer rate, the maximum input-outputs per second for random reading and writing are also given with 4 KB data. In addition, the exact electrical power consumption is listed for each model. The reliability of the SSD is advertised not only with the mean-time-between-failure, but also with the daily write performance and the expected total write performance. In addition to a classic operating temperature, air humidity, the rate of temperature change and resistance to individual or permanently random vibrations are also named for the environmental variables. So you feel very reminiscent of the Seagate manuals from our hard drive articles.
