Construction is probably the strongest feature credited to the entire solid state product segment, allowing HP to stand behind the quality of their product with a five-year warranty. SSDs are by nature immune to most abuses, but add a hard metal shell and the chance for failure is reduced to internal component defects. If there are ever any problems with a HP SSD M700 unit during the warranty period, end-users may utilize their first-class local support.
As of December 2017, the 240GB HP SSD M700 tested for this review has a MSRP of $99.99. This price puts the M700 on par with the average cost for budget solid state storage at similar capacity, by comparison.
In conclusion, the HP SSD M700 delivered impressive transfer speeds with benchmark results occasionally reaching into performance storage territory. HP’s SSD M700 is marketed to budget mainstream users looking to upgrade their laptop computer or desktop PC, which means the rather low operational IOPS performance would still meet the needs of most users and their basic everyday tasks.
