PCI Express Solid-State Device

Support

This section gives an overview of the Storage Management (OMSM) device

management support for Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe)

Solid-State Drive (SSD) and its associated devices like the backplane and

extender card.

In OMSS, PCIe SSD appears under the storage management. OMSM reports

the PCIe SSD devices and its various properties.

NOTE: OMSM does not support RAID management or configuration on PCIe SSD

sub systems.

What is PCIe SSD

Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) solid state device (SSD)

is a high-performance storage device designed for solutions requiring low

latency, high Input Output Operations per Second (IOPS), and enterprise

class storage reliability and serviceability. The PCIe SSD is designed based on

Single Level Cell (SLC) NAND flash technology with a high-speed PCIe 2.0

compliant interface. The high-speed PCIe 2.0 compliant interface helps

improve performance for I/O bound solutions.

PCIe SSD Features

Following are the key features of PCIe SSD:

• Hot plug capability

• High-performance device

• Support for 2.5-inch HDD Form Factor
