Cisco UCSX-NVE115T3K1V | 15.3TB E3.S NVMe SSD, PCIe Gen5, Hot-Swap

Q: What systems are compatible with the UCSX-NVE115T3K1V?
A: This drive is compatible with Cisco UCS X-Series compute nodes including the X210c M8, X215c M8, and XE130c M8 models, as well as UCS C240 M8 rack servers and Cisco Compute Hyperconverged infrastructure nodes. It is designed specifically for the E3.S drive bays in these systems.

Q: Can I mix E3.S and U.3 NVMe drives in the same system?
A: No, E3.S NVMe drives and U.3 NVMe drives cannot be mixed in the same configuration. You must use either E3.S or U.3 drives consistently within a single compute node or server.

Q: How many of these drives can I install in a UCS compute node?
A: The number of drives depends on the specific compute node model. UCS X-Series compute nodes typically support three to nine E3.S NVMe capacity drives. Check your specific system's datasheet for exact capacity drive configurations.

Q: What is the difference between medium endurance and high endurance SSDs?
A: Medium endurance drives are optimized for read-intensive and mixed workloads with moderate write requirements, offering excellent balance of capacity, performance, and cost. High endurance drives support write-intensive applications with significantly higher drive writes per day ratings but typically at higher cost per terabyte.

Q: Does this drive support RAID configurations?
A: Yes, when used with compatible RAID controllers such as the UCSX-X10C-RAIDF-D, these drives can be configured in RAID arrays. A maximum of six NVMe drives can be used with the RAID controller in supported configurations.
