.
● 2 x M.2 SSDs
– M.2 SSDs are supported for VROC (SATA RAID)
configuration when the server is configured with an
M.2 SSD adapter 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
/scratch

.
● Configure syslog. For details, see
kb.vmware.com/s/article/2003322
.
● The M.2 SSD cannot be used to store service 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.
● Hot-swappable SAS/SATA U.2 drives
● NVMe U.2 drives with support for orderly hot swap.
● Supports multiple types of RAID controller cards. For
details, see "OS and Parts Compatibility" in the
.
– The RAID controller card supports RAID
configuration, RAID level migration, and drive
roaming.
– The RAID controller card supports a
supercapacitor for power-off protection to ensure
user data security.
– The PCIe RAID controller card occupies one PCIe
slot.
For details about the RAID controller card, see the

NOTE
If the BIOS is in legacy mode, the 4K drive cannot be used as
the boot drive.
