SSDs for Dell PowerEdge 15G Servers

Key takeaways

• 1,108 listings match this collection right now.
• 15G's BOSS-N1 boot card takes NVMe M.2 modules only, unlike the SATA M.2 modules earlier BOSS-S1 and BOSS-S2 cards used, so a SATA M.2 module is the wrong boot part for 15G.
• Whether an NVMe drive on a 15G tri-mode backplane appears as a RAID-managed volume or a direct passthrough device depends on the controller's configured mode, a separate setting from the backplane wiring.
• 15G platforms run PCIe 4.0 to their CPUs, roughly double the per-lane bandwidth of the PCIe 3.0 lanes on 14G, so an NVMe SSD reaches its full rated throughput on this generation.
