The demands on Workstations continue to increase, especially in segments like digital media or imaging, where resolutions and file sizes are increasing. SSD technology is enabling high bandwidth at low costs/GB. The most intense workflows require greater capacity and greater performance than individual M.2 modules can offer. Combining 2 modules into a card that occupies only one PCIe x8 slot is efficient and meets the requirements for performance and capacity.

HP Z Turbo Drive Dual Pro solutions HP Z Turbo Drive Dual Pro Carrier enables up to two M.2 PCIe SSD modules to be connected to one PCIe Slot. For full performance, the card must be installed in a PCIe slot which is Gen4 speed or higher and has a width of x8 or x16. This M.2 form factor device uses a PCIe Gen4 x4 connection to each drive, which enables sequential read performance levels greater than 6GB/s for each
module.

The devices can be set up with RAID for additional performance and redundancy using software RAID, or by using VROC technology from Intel.
