HP P700 512GB portable SSD

The HP P700 is a 512GB external solid-state drive using 64-layer 3D TLC NAND and a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C interface. It delivers sequential read and write speeds up to 1000 MBps with random performance up to 75000 read and 70000 write IOPS. The drive includes a Type-C to Type-A cable and a Type-A to Type-C adapter for broad host compatibility.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This drive suits users who need fast, portable storage that operates between 0°C and 60°C and survives 100G shock and 3.1 GRMS vibration. Buyers who require more than 512GB of capacity or an interface other than USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C should consider a different product.

Deciding specification

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C interface combined with up to 1000 MBps sequential throughput. If the host system lacks a compatible USB Type-C port or cannot use the included adapter, the drive will not reach its rated performance.

Questions about this item

What cables and adapters come in the box with the HP P700 512GB?

The drive includes a USB Type-C to Type-A cable and a USB Type-A to Type-C adapter, so it connects to both USB-C and USB-A ports without extra purchases.

How do I decide between the 512GB capacity and a larger size?

The 512GB model delivers up to 1000 MBps read and write with 75,000 random read IOPS and 70,000 random write IOPS; choose a larger drive only if you need more total space.

What does the 1000 MBps headline speed mean when I plug the drive into my laptop?

You can expect up to 1000 MBps sequential read and write on a USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10GB/s) Type-C port; speeds will be lower on older USB ports.
