Storage; Internal Storage - Dell PowerEdge M620 Technical Manual

The Dell™ PowerEdge™ M620 provides comprehensive internal storage options, including several
drive types and storage controllers to choose from. The M620 supports up to 1.2TB of internal

storage.

Express Flash PCIe SSDs (available Q2 2012) are a new option that can provide vastly accelerated
performance over previous technologies. Dell Express Flash drives use PCIe lanes to connect
directly to the processor and chipset and are easily accessible by hot-plug drive bay.
The M620 is available in three different hard-drive backplane options. Table 10 lists the options for
backplanes, hard-drive controllers, and drive types for the M620.
