FAQs

Q: Do I need a specific controller for NVMe on this backplane?
A: Yes. A compatible U.3 tri-mode controller is required to enable NVMe.

Q: Can I use U.2 NVMe drives?
A: Yes. U.2 drives are supported through the U.3 interface with appropriate cabling and controller.

Q: Can I mix SAS/SATA and NVMe drives in the same cage?
A: Often yes, but mixing rules and lane mapping depend on the controller and cabling.

Q: Is the drive cage included?
A: No. This is the backplane; cages, carriers, cables, and controllers are sold separately.
