Installing an SSD
The media bay supports a 7-mm slim-type SATA 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.
