The Z230 Series F1M18UT Small Form Factor Workstation from HP delivers powerful performance in a small form factor design and is geared towards professionals who require high reliability. With the capabilities to operate in immersive work environments and handle 24x7x365 workloads, the Z230 delivers processor and graphics technologies, as well as scalability to match your business needs.
This system is powered by a 3.6 GHz Intel Xeon E3-1271 v3 Quad-Core processor which will allow you to run multiple applications simultaneously. If you need more power, the system can be overclocked to 4.0 GHz using Intel's Turbo Boost technology. The 16GB of 1600 MHz PC3-12800 DDR3 SDRAM helps to ensure smooth multitasking and also allows the computer to quickly access frequently-used files and programs. While the current memory configuration is 2 x 8GB, there are four total memory slots that will allow the RAM to be upgraded to 32GB, using one 8GB chip in each of the four memory slots.
For long term storage of your files, a 1TB 7200 rpm SATA hard drive offers quick access to your data. There is also a 256GB SSD drive and while this SSD may not have the larger storage capacity of a traditional hard drive, it does not contain any moving parts and is more durable against any bumps or drops. In addition, since it has no moving parts, the drive will receive less wear and tear since it will never come into contact with read or write heads. While SSDs also allow for faster data transfer speeds than traditional hard drives, this SSD connects via one of the PCIe slots, allowing for enhanced performance when compared to a SSD drive that connects using a SATA port.
If you want to add external storage drives or other peripherals, the Z230 features 4 x USB 3.0 ports and 6 x USB 2.0 ports. For users who wish to add additional components to the drive bays, the Z230 has a total of four expansion bays - 1 x 5.25" external bay, 2 x 3.5" internal bays, and 1 x 2.5" internal bay. There are also a total of four PCIe expansion slots. The dedicated NVIDIA Quadro K620 graphics card has 2GB DDR3 RAM and is designed to deliver a sharp, clear picture while allowing for a wide range of monitors to be used from its DisplayPort and DVI-I port. Whether you are listening to music, watching a movie, or playing a game, the integrated Realtek HD ALC221 outputs high definition audio and delivers higher fidelity than standard audio controllers.
The Z230 Series F1M18UT Small Form Factor Workstation includes a USB keyboard, a USB mouse, and a power cord. While the installed operating system is Windows 7 Professional (64-bit), a Windows 8.1 Professional (64-bit) license and media is included.
