FAQs

Q: What does 1X endurance mean?
A: It indicates a read-intensive endurance profile suitable for workloads with relatively lower write activity.

Q: Is the encryption always on?
A: SED capabilities are hardware-based; enable and manage encryption via your platform’s security and key management tools.

Q: Can I mix SED and non-SED drives?
A: Mixing is not recommended within the same storage pool; standardize on either SED or non-SED per pool.

Q: Is this drive supported in Cisco HyperFlex clusters?
A: Yes, when the cluster BOM/HCL specifies EV SATA 3.8TB SED drives.

Q: Does this require a specific caddy?
A: Use the UCS/HyperFlex caddy model listed for your chassis drive bay.

Q: Can I use it as a cache tier?
A: EV drives are optimized for capacity/read tasks; use performance-tier SSDs for cache/write-intensive roles.
