⚫
Supports two M.2 SSDs.
−
M.2 SSDs are supported for RAID configuration
when the server is configured with an Avago
SAS3004iMR RAID controller card.
NOTE
⚫
The M.2 SSD is used only as a boot device for installing the
OS. Small-capacity (32 GB or 64 GB) M.2 SSDs do not
support logging due to poor endurance. If a small-capacity
M.2 SSD is used as the boot device, a dedicated log drive or
log server is required for logging. For example, you can dump
VMware logs in either of the following ways:
⚫
Redirect the
/scratch
. For details, see

⚫
Configure the
syslog
. For details, see
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2003322
⚫
The M.2 SSD cannot be used to store data due to poor
endurance. In write-intensive applications, the M.2 SSD will
wear out in a short time.
If you want to use SSDs or HDDs as data storage devices, use
enterprise-level SSDs or HDDs with high DWPD.
⚫
The M.2 SSD is not recommended for write-intensive service
software due to poor endurance.
⚫
Do not use M.2 SSDs for cache.
