U.2 NVMe SSDs

Key takeaways

• 1,494 listings match this collection right now.
• U.2 drives use the same SFF-8639 connector as SAS and SATA, so a drive can seat in a bay with no NVMe lanes wired and simply not appear.
• U.2 drives can be a 15mm z-height, thicker than the 7mm or 9.5mm of a standard drive, and a bay built for the thin size will not close around it.
• U.2 drives built for dual-port NVMe split the four PCIe lanes into two independent x2 paths for multipath redundancy, a capability the backplane wiring has to support to use.
