HP have released a new NVMe M.2 SSD, the EX920 which uses Silcon Motion's SM2622 controller and a DDR3-1600 cache which scales directly with the size of the drive, the 256GB drive has a 256MB cache while the 2TB has 2GB. The drive uses four PCIe Gen 3 lanes, which offers some very impressive performance, Benchmark Reviews measured 3183/1776 MBps read/write in CrystalDiskMark. The only real drawback to this drive is the warranty; while most companies offer at least five years, this HP drive is only covered for three.
"HP suggests sustained sequential read speeds up to 3200 MB/s, and sustained sequential writes up to 1800 MB/s from their 1TB EX920 SSD, which utilizes 64-layer 3D NAND to deliver impressive storage density and reliability. Relative to solid state storage, one terabyte is an enormous amount of near-instant drive capacity. We’ll see if HP’s EX920 M.2 SSD is worth the money."

Looking at HP’s not so good
Looking at HP’s not so good Graphics Driver update history on it’s Raven Ridge Zen/With Vega Graphics based laptops should make any customer pause and consider if maybe HP is a poor all around choice for any HP Branded product.
Don’t support any makers branded products if that maker is also a Laptop OEM with poor Graphics Driver support.
That’s AMD retard
