Cisco UCS-NVE11T6K1P | 1.6TB E3.S NVMe SSD, PCIe 5.0, High Endurance

Q: What servers is the UCS-NVE11T6K1P compatible with?
A: This drive is compatible with Cisco UCS M8 generation servers including C220 M8, C240 M8, XE130c M8, X210c M8, and X215c M8 systems that support E3.S 1T form factor storage bays. It requires appropriate E3.S cabling and backplane support.

Q: What does the 3X endurance rating mean?
A: The 3X endurance rating indicates this is a high-endurance drive designed for write-intensive workloads. It offers three times the write endurance of standard enterprise drives, making it ideal for databases, virtualization, and applications with frequent data writes.

Q: What is the E3.S form factor?
A: E3.S (Enterprise and Datacenter SSD Form Factor) is a modern storage standard designed to replace traditional 2.5-inch drives in enterprise servers. The 1T variant is approximately 112mm in length and offers improved thermal performance, higher density, and PCIe Gen5 support.

Q: Can this drive be hot-swapped during operation?
A: Yes, the UCS-NVE11T6K1P supports hot-plug functionality, allowing you to replace or add drives without powering down the server, minimizing downtime in mission-critical environments.

Q: What performance advantages does PCIe 5.0 provide?
A: PCIe 5.0 doubles the bandwidth of PCIe 4.0, delivering up to 32 GT/s data transfer rates. This enables significantly faster read/write speeds, reduced latency, and improved performance for data-intensive applications compared to previous generation interfaces.
