Questions about this item

Will this 2.5 inch 15mm drive fit my server bay?

The drive uses a standard 2.5 inch 15mm U.2/U.3 form factor. Verify your chassis accepts 15mm height and provides a U.2 or U.3 backplane connector.

What PCIe generation and lane width does the SSD require?

It runs on PCIe 4.0 with a x4 link (16 GT/s per lane). Your motherboard or backplane must supply a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot or U.2/U.3 port wired for x4.

How much daily write endurance does the 7.68TB model provide?

The drive is rated for 1 DWPD, meaning you can write the full 7.68TB capacity every day for the warranty period.
