1. Not all features are available in all editions or versions of Windows. Systems may require upgraded and/or separately purchased hardware, drivers and/or software to take full
advantage of Windows functionality. See microsoft.com.
2. Thunderbolt™ 2 is available via an optional add-in card on Z1, Z230 SFF, Z230 Tower, Z440, Z640 and Z840 Workstations. It is standard on ZBook 15 and 17 Mobile Workstations.
Thunderbolt cable and Thunderbolt device (sold separately) must be compatible with Windows. To determine whether your device is Thunderbolt Certied for Windows, see
thunderbolttechnology.net/products.
3. DisplayPort connector support a DisplayPort display, a HDMI display with an DP-to-HDMI dongle, a VGA display with a DP-to-VGA dongle, or a DVI display with a DP-to-DVI dongle.
4. With AMD Graphics, up to any 5 combination of these displays may be active when at least two external DisplayPort displays are used.
5. Multiple displays may be connected to DP 1.2 Hub. DP 1.2 Hub is connected to a DisplayPort connector on the HP ZBook or Docking Station.
6. Dependent on PCIe slot used and the capabilities of the M.2 module.

Customer advantage
The HP Z Turbo Drive adds value to all targeted workstation customer segments. This oering
allows customers to realize performance gains due to improvements in storage performance.
Segments that have workows that use large data les and access the data sequentially will
see the most improvement in their performance.
These specic segments are:
• Product Dev/AEC
• Media & Entertainment
• Finance
• Oil and Gas
• G e o s p a t i a l
Summary
The transition from SATA to PCIe protocols for Solid State Devices enables customers to change
their use models and how they allocate their spending on workstation platforms. Continued
cost reductions in SSD devices will drive growth in usage. Additional growth is driven by the
performance improvement obtained with the move from SATA to PCIe protocol enabled by the
M.2 form factor. Utilizing the PCIe connection allows SSD devices to exceed 6 Gb/s performance.
The HP Z Turbo Drive oering on HP ZBook 15 G2 provides a huge performance gain over HDD,
enables large le/big data workows, and oers impressive price/performance for NAND
components. Integrating the HP Z Turbo Drive technology into HP platforms increases the
exibility of the storage subsystems and provides the user choice points around performance
and capacity that stand out in the industry.
