SK Hynix 7.68TB NVMe U.3 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4 RI SFF 2.5" 15mm SSD for Dell PowerEdge Server PE8110 Series

---

Compatibility Note

The SK Hynix PE8110 Series U.3 NVMe SSD is compatible with Dell PowerEdge servers starting from 14th Generation and newer, provided the system is equipped with an NVMe-enabled backplane. Dell’s universal 2.5" SFF design allows use across multiple generations when properly configured.

Important Deployment Notes

• Drive Tray Requirement:
  Must be installed in a Dell 2.5" SFF hot-swap tray (commonly 0DXD9H / DXD9H or equivalent SFF carrier). The original HPE carrier is not compatible.
• Backplane Requirement:
  NVMe-capable Dell PowerEdge backplane is required. SAS/SATA-only backplanes will not detect this drive.
• Interface Compatibility:
  U.3 is backward compatible with U.2, but full functionality depends on NVMe wiring and system configuration.
• Performance Scaling:
  • 16G–17G: Full PCIe Gen4 performance
  • 15G: Full PCIe Gen4 performance
  • 14G: Limited to PCIe Gen3 speeds (~3,500 MB/s max)
• Management Behavior:
  Dell iDRAC may report the drive as “non-Dell certified” or “unknown vendor,” but functionality is typically unaffected if NVMe requirements are met.
