HP Z Turbo Quad Pro and Dual Pro
Overview
c04798669 — DA-15373 — Worldwide — Version 7 — February 4, 2020
HP Z Turbo Quad Pro and Dual Pro
The demands on Workstations continue to increase, especially in segments like digital media or imaging, where resolutions and
file sizes are increasing. SSD technology is improving to enable greater bandwidth at lower costs/GB. The most intense workflows
require greater capacity and greater performance than individual M.2 modules can offer. Combining 4 modules into a card that
occupies only one PCIe x16 slot is efficient and meets the requirements for performance and capacity.
HP Z Turbo Drive Quad Pro and Dual Pro solutions
The HP Z Turbo Drive Quad Pro enables up to four M.2 PCIe SSD modules to be connected to one PCIe Gen3 x16 slot. This M.2 form
factor device uses PCIe Gen3 x4 which enables sequential performance levels greater than 2GB/s for each module. HP Z Turbo
Drive Dual Pro enables up to two M.2 PCIe SSD modules to be connected to one PCIe Gen3 x8 slot.
The devices can be set up with RAID for additional performance and redundancy using software RAID, or by using VROC technology
from Intel.
Note: There are restrictions to using RAID with boot volumes when using software RAID. RAID volumes created by using VROC
technology can be enabled for boot, provided all M.2 devices are connected to the same PCIe root port.

Benefits of Z Turbo Drive Quad Pro
• Supports up to four PCIe M.2 SSD modules (NVMe) in one card, PCIe Gen3 x16 slot required.
• The HP Z Turbo Drive Quad Pro is equipped with Power Loss Protection circuitry that employs a bank of super caps to
provide the power to fully finish data storage operations in the event of a power loss condition.
• The active cooling solution ensures that the M.2 SSD modules will not throttle to low performance levels due to over-
heating.
• Support for single and double sided PCIe M.2 SSDs, up to 110mm in length.
• One of the M.2 SSD modules on the card can be used as a Boot device, and the other devices can be used as Data storage.
Alternatively, all of the M.2 SSD modules can be used as Data devices.
• Additional storage devices, e.g. HDDs, SATA SSDs, can be used in combination with the HP Z Turbo Drive Quad Pro.
• Multiple HP Z Turbo Drive Quad Pro cards can be installed into HP Z Workstations. A card with 3 or 4 M.2 SSD modules
requires a PCIe Gen3 x16 slot.

The HP Z Turbo Drive Quad Pro is supported on desktop platforms of HP Z Workstations, including Z4, Z6 and Z8 G4, Z440, Z640,
and Z840. It will support storage configurations as a Boot device and as a Data device. It also can be configured with other
storage components including SATA and SAS drives and controllers. Not all configurations are available from the factory.
NOTE: Not all models are available in all regions.

Recommended Slot Order
For all HP Workstation platforms the tested and approved slots for the HP Z Turbo Drive Quad Pro are as follows (in order of
preference):
Z6 G4: Slot #4, Slot #6 (requires 2nd CPU), Slot #3 (requires 2nd CPU)
Z840: Slot #6, #4 (requires 2nd CPU), and #2*
Z6 G4 and Z4 G4: Slot 5
Z4 G4 with Core Processors: i9 – Slot #3, i7 – Not Supported
Z640 and Z440: Slot #5 and #2*
* Use of Z Turbo Drive Quad Pro in Slot 2 will necessitate moving the primary graphics card to an x8 or x4 PCIe slot, which could
lead to reduced graphics performance.
For RAID support, there are some specific differences and thus restrictions as compared to SATA/SAS HDDs or SSDs, because
software RAID is used.
• Windows® RAID with Boot Configuration: Limited support for RAID 1*, No support for RAID 0, 5, 10
• Windows® RAID with Data Configuration: Support for RAID 0, 1; No support for RAID 5, 10
• Linux® RAID with Boot Configuration: Functional for RAID 0, 1*; No support for RAID 5, 10
• Linux® RAID with Data Configuration: Functional for RAID 0, 1, 5, 10**
On Z8 G4, Z6 G4, and Z4 G4, bootable RAID support can be configured via VROC. VROC is an Intel technology that allows NVMe
devices to be configured and included in RAID arrays.
There are two versions of VROC available to customers:
- Standard – This version enables RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 10. RAID volumes are bootable as long as the configured
devices are all on the same PCIe Root Port.
- Premium – This version enables all RAID levels available in the Standard version and adds RAID 5.
*RAID 1 can be set up, yet will not provide complete, redundant protection as the boot partition is not replicated on both drives. An
OS boot partition cannot be protected by software RAID 1.
** Limited testing has been done with Linux® to confirm RAID support and performance characteristics.
Note: When using more than one HP Z Turbo Drive Quad Pro in a system, please ensure that the card ID switches are set up
correctly. See installation guide for complete details.
The HP Z Turbo Drive Quad Pro has a one-year Limited Warranty or the remainder of the warranty of the HP supported product in
which it is installed. Technical support is available seven days a week, 24 hours a day, by phone, as well as online support forums.
Certain restrictions and exclusions apply.

Windows® 7, HP recommends using the Samsung NVMe driver, version 1.4.7.6, which will be available online. It is important to
note that Microsoft has also published a hotfix that provides an NVMe driver, yet this driver is not recommended by HP. Also note
that the new NVMe driver will not support the original HP Z Turbo Drive, which requires an AHCI driver.
Support for OPAL hardware encryption: No
Support for Secure Erase: Yes
Support in HP Performance Advisor: yes, with the exception that the wear gauge support is not available yet.
