Specifications

Compatibility and related parts

This is a U.2 drive, so it needs a server or workstation with a U.2 bay or a U.2-capable controller; it does not fit a standard M.2 slot. It runs at Gen5 speeds on a Gen5 host and works on Gen4 hosts at Gen4 speeds. For desktop builds, the PC builder checks compatibility, or compare motherboards and the full range of SSDs and storage.
