Express Flash drives
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" hot-plug form
factor, which 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 R730xd has an option to support up to four hot-plug Express Flash PCIe SSDs in the
2.5" chassis. The R730 does not support Express Flash drives.
