HP ProDesk 400 G5

A 9.5 mm Slim DVD-Writer is included for reading from and writing to a variety of CD and DVD media.

This ProDesk 400 G5 has one 3.5″ drive bay which is used for the 500GB hard drive, plus an empty 3.5″/2.5″ drive bay and an empty M.2 2280/2230 slot that uses PCIe x4 connectivity.

This ProDesk 400 G5 has one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots.

The system features four USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports (two front, two rear) and four USB 2.0 Type-A ports (rear), each of which will allow you to connect peripherals such as hard drives, printers, and memory card readers. At 5 Gb/s, USB 3.1 Gen 1 transfers data up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0, which operates at 480 Mb/s. USB 3.1 Gen 1’s high-speed transfer rate helps to significantly reduce data transfer times, meaning you spend less time waiting and more time focusing on the task at hand.

The system uses a Realtek RTL8111HSH-CG Gigabit Ethernet controller for internet access when connected to a router, modem, or network switch.

For those who wish to connect to their network wirelessly, there is an empty M.2 2230 PCIe x1 slot that supports separately sold Wi-Fi and Bluetooth cards.

The front headset connector supports CTIA style headsets. Headset connectors are retaskable to function as a line-In, microphone-in, line-out, or headphone-out port. Rear audio input ports are retaskable as a line-in or microphone-in port. External speakers must be powered externally.
