Description
Product Description and Features
The HPE 872971-001 NVME Backplane 8SFF is a high-performance storage solution designed for use with HPE Proliant DL38x G10 servers. This backplane allows for the integration of NVME solid state drives (SSDs) into the server, providing faster data access and improved overall system performance. The backplane supports up to eight NVME SSDs, and can be used to expand the storage capacity of the server or to upgrade the system to NVME technology. This backplane is a great option for businesses and organizations that require high-speed data storage and processing.NVME Technology Explained
NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is a host controller interface and storage protocol that is designed for use with solid-state drives (SSDs) and other non-volatile memory devices. It is a newer technology than the older AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) protocol that was primarily used for storage devices connected to PCs and servers.
NVMe provides several benefits over AHCI, including faster data access, lower latency, and improved overall system performance. This is achieved by providing a direct connection between the host and the storage device, bypassing the AHCI software layer that can add latency. NVMe also supports multiple queues and commands, allowing for more efficient data transfer and higher performance.
The HPE NVME Backplane 8SFF utilizes NVMe technology to provide faster data access and improved performance for the connected NVME SSDs. By using NVMe, the backplane can achieve faster data transfer speeds, lower latency, and improved overall system performance compared to traditional storage solutions.
Using NVMe technology in the backplane is particularly beneficial for businesses and organizations that require high-speed data storage and processing, such as data centers, cloud providers, or companies that handle large amounts of data and need faster access to it.
Compatibility with Proliant DL38x G10 servers
The HPE 872971-001 NVME Backplane 8SFF is specifically designed for use with HPE Proliant DL38x G10 servers. This means that it is fully compatible with the server’s hardware and firmware, and can be easily integrated into the system. The backplane is designed to fit into the server’s internal storage bays, and can be connected to the server’s system board through the appropriate connectors.
It is important to note that the HPE NVME Backplane 8SFF is only compatible with the DL38x G10 server model, and will not be compatible with other server models or generations. Before purchasing the backplane, it is important to confirm that the server is a DL38x G10 model and that it has the necessary internal storage bays to accommodate the backplane.
