Name: Internal storage configuration: 8 x 2.5" (NVMe RAID)
Brand: Dell

Description

Base with NVMe cage

A chassis whose front bays are connected to PCIe lanes through a dedicated NVMe backplane and accept NVMe SSDs directly (Direct) or through an NVMe-capable RAID controller (the allowed controller type depends on the vendor and server model).

NVMe has the lowest latency and highest bandwidth of the storage interfaces and suits high-transaction databases and software-defined storage.

Removing the SAS/SATA layer and talking directly to the processor greatly increases IOPS and reduces latency.

This text is the general explanation of this category of part (not a claim about one specific model).
