Cisco UCS-NVMEG4-M3840 | 3.8TB 2.5" U.3 NVMe SSD, PCIe 4.0 x4, 15mm

Q: Which Cisco UCS servers support this drive?
A: This U.3 NVMe drive is compatible with Cisco UCS servers that feature U.3 NVMe bays, including C220 M7, C225 M8, C240 M7 series rack servers and X210c M6 compute nodes. Verify your specific chassis supports U.3 NVMe drives as it will not operate in SATA-only bays.

Q: What is the difference between high performance and medium endurance?
A: High performance indicates optimized IOPS and throughput for demanding workloads, while medium endurance (mixed-use) means the drive is rated for balanced read/write operations typical in enterprise applications, databases, and virtualized environments rather than write-intensive or read-only scenarios.

Q: Does this drive require a specific carrier or caddy?
A: Yes, use the appropriate Cisco UCS 2.5-inch drive carrier if your chassis requires a sled for U.3 drives. Contact your Cisco representative or reseller to confirm the correct caddy part number for your specific server model.

Q: Can I mix this NVMe drive with SATA drives in the same system?
A: While you may be able to mix media types per chassis configuration rules, each bay and controller must match the required interface. U.3 NVMe drives will not operate in SATA-only bays, and vice versa. Consult your server documentation for supported drive configurations.

Q: What workloads is this drive best suited for?
A: This drive excels in mixed read/write workloads including virtualized environments (VMware, Hyper-V), database servers (SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL), cloud infrastructure, application servers, and general-purpose enterprise storage where both high IOPS and consistent low latency are required.
