HP PCIe Workload Accelerator Overview

The HP PCIe Workload Accelerator solid state drive (SSD) is a PCI Express® (PCIe) Gen

2-compatible drive that conforms to the PCIe Card Electromechanical (CEM) specification version 2.0, section 6.1 (low profile add-in card size). This is also called the half-height, half-length (HHHL) form factor. The HP PCIe Workload Accelerator HHHL drive is available in two capacities: 350GB and 700GB. Both options have the same HHHL form factor and support a x8 link width and PCIe Gen 2-compatible motherboard slot.

The HP PCIe Workload Accelerator HHHL card is shown in the following figures:
