Cisco UCS-NVMEG4-M3200 | 3.2TB 2.5" U.3 NVMe SSD, Hot-Swap, High Endurance

Q: What Cisco UCS servers is this drive compatible with?
A: The UCS-NVMEG4-M3200 is compatible with Cisco UCS C220 M6/M7, C240 M6/M7 rack servers, and UCS X210c M6 compute nodes. It requires a server with U.3 NVMe drive bays and appropriate firmware support.

Q: What does the high endurance rating mean for this drive?
A: High endurance indicates a 3X drive writes per day (DWPD) rating, meaning this drive can handle approximately 9.6TB of writes per day over its lifespan. This makes it suitable for write-intensive workloads such as database servers, transactional applications, and virtualization environments.

Q: What is the difference between U.3 and U.2 interfaces?
A: U.3 is backward compatible with U.2 SSDs and also supports SATA and SAS devices through a single connector, providing greater flexibility. U.3 drives can be used in U.3-enabled bays, while U.2 drives require U.2-specific slots.

Q: Can this drive be used as a boot drive?
A: Yes, the UCS-NVMEG4-M3200 can serve as a boot drive when installed in compatible Cisco UCS servers. Its high performance characteristics make it excellent for both boot and data storage applications.

Q: Is hot-swap functionality supported?
A: Yes, this drive supports hot-swap capability when installed in compatible Cisco UCS server drive bays, allowing for replacement without powering down the system.
