Installing and Removing SATADOM

The 64 GB Serial ATA Disk on Module (SATADOM) Single-level cell (SLC) is available for the PowerEdge R630/R730/R730xd systems as

a factory installed, internal solid state boot drive.

NOTE: BIOS needs to be configured to ensure that the SATADOM is the first boot device.

This high-write endurance SATADOM has been validated for use in Software Defined Storage (SDS) solutions such as EMC ScaleIO.

This drive can be utilized for solutions that require a high-write endurance.

This drive is configured as a boot device on a dedicated controller that is separate from the main data drives.

NOTE: SATADOM is not recommended as a general purpose boot device.
