These SSDs feature several significant advances from the non-hot plug first-generation SSDs that were introduced for selected ProLiant BladeSystem servers in 2008:  Increased capacities of 60 GB and 120 GB  SFF and LFF hot plug supported across most of the ML, DL, and BL G5 and G6 ProLiant servers  Advances in controller technology that provide significant improvements in read and write performance In addition to these improvements, the new SSDs retain the original ruggedness that made them well suited for environments where traditional disk drives cannot operate. HP 3G SATA SSDs can tolerate significantly higher shock and vibration levels than traditional disk drives, as well as temperatures up to 60° C. Figure 1.
