The HP S700 Pro was a solid-state drive in the 2.5" form factor, launched in 2017, that is no longer in production. It was available in capacities ranging from 128 GB to 1 TB. This page reports specifications for the 256 GB variant. With the rest of the system, the HP S700 Pro interfaces using a SATA 6 Gbps connection. The SSD controller is the SM2258H from Silicon Motion, a DRAM cache chip is available. HP has installed 32-layer TLC NAND flash on the S700 Pro, the flash chips are made by Micron. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are absorbed more quickly. The S700 Pro is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 560 MB/s and 520 MB/s write; random IO reaches 70K IOPS for read and 90K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 170 USD. The warranty length is set to three years, which is above average, but shorter than the five years offered by many other vendors. HP guarantees an endurance rating of 165 TBW, a good value.

Notes

Drive:

This drive has 288 GiB of raw storage capacity because of it's 2 different Package types.
The drive itselft has 4 packages but with different capacities, such as:
2x Micron's FortisFlash L06B 32-Layers MT29F384G08EBCBBJ4-37:B (NW837 - 384Gb Single Die - 48GB)
2x Micron's FortisFlash L06B 32-Layers MT29F768G08EECBBJ4-37:B (NW838 - 768Gb DDP - 96GB)
