HPE NS204I-P NVME PCIE3 OS-käynnistyslaite PL-SI RAID-ohjain

The HPE NS204i-p NVMe OS Boot Device is a pre-configured, self-contained PCIe card designed to provide a simple, reliable OS boot solution without requiring a GUI or manual setup. The card includes two 480 GB M.2 NVMe SSDs in a hardware RAID 1 configuration for mirrored OS storage, and uses a PCI Express interface for high-speed data transfer. With NVMe technology, it delivers significantly faster read performance compared to legacy SATA boot solutions and is compatible with HPE systems (model P12965-B21).

Advantages

This NVMe OS boot device offers plug-and-play operation with no user configuration required and hardware RAID 1 mirroring for OS redundancy. The PCIe host interface enables higher throughput and lower latency than SATA-based boot options, improving boot times and OS responsiveness. The compact, pre-configured form factor simplifies installation in enterprise servers and reduces deployment time.

Suitable for

• Enterprise servers requiring a dedicated, redundant OS boot solution
• HPE systems compatible with model P12965-B21
• Environments where faster OS read performance and reduced boot times are important
