Conclusion

Advancements in storage technology allow you to choose from a variety of storage solutions, each with

unique capacity, performance, and endurance characteristics. HP has industry-leading storage technologies

to meet all types of storage requirements. We test our storage products rigorously and certify them for their

targeted applications.

When considering which technology to choose for your storage needs, consider all factors that contribute to

the solution.

Drives perform best when matched to the application environment. HDDs can satisfy capacity, performance,

and cost goals. However, for the highest performance and data availability when endurance limits and cost

are justified, SSDs are a better choice.
