U.3 NVMe Tri-Mode 2.5-inch Enterprise SSD

U.3 NVMe SSDs

Key takeaways

396 listings match this collection right now.
A tri-mode backplane needs a tri-mode HBA or RAID controller behind it too, since the backplane alone cannot present SAS, SATA and NVMe drives without matching controller support.
U.3 drives can rely on NVMe-MI enclosure signaling rather than the SES protocol a SAS drive uses, so bay LEDs and management tools depend on the backplane matching that protocol.
A U.3 bay auto-detects whether the inserted drive is SAS, SATA or NVMe through the backplane's side-band signaling, so the same physical bay can host any of the three without rewiring.

U.3 is the successor to U.2, built for tri-mode backplanes that accept SAS, SATA and NVMe drives in the same bay. A U.3 drive works in a U.2 bay, but a U.2 drive does not work in a U.3 bay wired for tri-mode, which is the ordering mistake to avoid.

How to choose solid state drives

Interface first: SATA drives work on a SAS backplane, SAS drives do not work on a SATA-only controller, and NVMe connects over PCIe lanes in U.2, U.3, M.2, E1.S or add-in-card form factors that are not interchangeable with each other. Then the endurance class the workload needs, stated as drive writes per day. Then whether the listing includes the hot-swap tray, which every listing name states.
