Serving as an upgrade to the Z620, the HP Z640 Workstations is designed to give professionals who work with resource-heavy applications an extra boost in their productivity. The Z640 is also targeted to businesses that simply want to equip their employees with a high-performance workstation at a mid-range price. As you can see from its comprehensive set of options listed in the specifications below, the HP Z640 Workstations is a highly-customizable workstation that can be used for a wide range of use cases, allowing businesses to create a very specific build to accurately suit their needs. The HP workstation also offers a complete tool-less design that gives administrators easy access for quick component upgrades and maintenance.
The modular design of the HP Z640 Workstations allows the user to configure the workstation as a single or dual processor system. Adding a second processor module allows for a second CPU, as well as four additional memory slots (for a total of eight DIMM slots). This is pretty impressive for such a compact workstation.
One of the most important features of the Z640 workstation is its compatibility with HP’s Z Turbo Drive G2 (256GB, 512GB and 1TB capacities), as the NVMe drives provide some pretty significant performance gains over standard high-performing SSDs. This includes: faster boot up, calculation, and graphics response times. It also allows for ideal work conditions under resource-heavy applications, adding a ton of versatility and power to the Z640. HP has also upgraded the storage offering in the Z640, with the new Z Turbo Drive G2 offering maximum sequential read and write throughput up to 2.5GB/s and 1.55GB/s. Moreover, the HP Z640 Workstations supports up to 8 memory DIMMs with a maximum 256GB of DDR4 RAM, and can be equipped with two next generation Intel Xeon processors for up to 44 total processor cores in one system.
The HP Z640 Workstations also comes with four USB 3.0 ports (one of which is a charging port) and one Thunderbolt 2 port, allowing those who rely on huge amounts of data transfers to significantly boost their workflows. Users can also customize their Z640 with various SATA and SAS RAID configuration options, all of which support a wide-range of high-performance, high-capacity storage solutions.
