Page 25 - Dell PowerEdge R620 Technical Guide

Express Flash drives use PCIe and SSD technologies to provide performance, scalability, and optimal
serviceability. Accelerated performance with high IOPs is made possible without requiring processor
resources or capturing DRAM. Also, Express Flash drives use a standardized 2.5-inch hot-plug form
factor that saves critical PCIe slot space by moving drives from the back to the front of the system
and allows a common management process for all drives.

The PowerEdge R620 has an option to support up to two 2.5-inch, hot-plug Express Flash drives
with capacities of 175GB or 350GB.

The R620 supports the external storage devices types listed in Table 13. For more information, see
