Installing an SSD
About this task
The media bay supports a 7-mm slim-type SAT
A solid state drive option. SSDs have no moving parts.
Information is stored in microchips. Traditional hard disk drives use a mechanical arm with a read/write head
to move around and read information from the right location on a rotating storage platters. This lack of rotating
media in SSDs:
• Greatly reduces the SSD’s power consumption
• Enable SSDs to tolerate significantly higher operating shock and vibration levels
SSDs are suitable for server workloads with highly random data under a variety of write-workload
applications.
