Cisco UCSX-NVE13T2K1P | 3.2TB E3.S NVMe SSD, PCIe Gen5, High Endurance, 3X DWPD

Q: What systems is the UCSX-NVE13T2K1P compatible with?
A: This drive is compatible with Cisco UCS X-Series modular compute nodes including X210c M8, X215c M8, and XE130c M8, as well as UCS C220 M8 and C240 M8 rack servers that support E3.S form factor storage.

Q: What does 3X DWPD endurance mean for this drive?
A: 3X DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) means this high-endurance drive can sustain the equivalent of writing its full 3.2TB capacity three times per day over its operational lifespan, making it ideal for write-intensive workloads such as databases, virtualization platforms, and transactional applications.

Q: What is the E3.S form factor?
A: E3.S is an EDSFF (Enterprise and Data Center SSD Form Factor) standard designed for modern server architectures. The compact design enables higher storage density and improved cooling efficiency compared to traditional 2.5-inch U.2 drives, while supporting PCIe Gen5 speeds.

Q: Does this drive support encryption?
A: Yes, the UCSX-NVE13T2K1P includes SIE SCEF (Self-Encrypting Drive) technology, providing hardware-based encryption to protect data at rest without impacting system performance.

Q: What are typical use cases for this drive?
A: This drive is optimized for high-performance, write-intensive enterprise applications including virtualized infrastructure (VMware, Hyper-V), database servers (Oracle, SQL Server), cloud computing platforms, big data analytics, and AI/ML workloads requiring fast, reliable storage with high endurance.
