HPE NS204i-u Gen11 NVMe Hot Plug Boot Optimized Storage Device (2x480GB M.2 NVMe SSDs)HPE NS204i-u Gen11 NVMe Hot Plug Boot Optimized Storage DeviceHPE NS204i OS Boot Devices come in different form factors and are a dedicated hardware RAID 1 solution for those that wish to separate their data plane from their OS plane. The NS204i meets the certification requirements of VMware and Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct. Reference the included server compatibility matrix for each of the different form factors. Server platforms support a single NS204i OS Boot Device. This RAID optimized SSD flash based solution utilizes the Windows, Linux, or VMware NVMe inbox drivers for easy set up and reliability. The NS204i OS Boot Device does not consume any drive bay, thus making all of the bays available for data storage. The HPE NS204i-u is a universal installation hot plug OS Boot Device that includes two 480GB M.2 NVMe SSDs. This device no longer takes up a PCIe slot, and auto-creates RAID1 volume. The HPE NS204i-p and the NS204i-d (SY480 Gen10 Plus) OS Boot Devices includes two 480GB M.2 NVMe SSDs. Two 22110 M.2 NVMe SSDs must be added to the NS204i-r riser and the NS204i-t Boot Controller. The NS204i boot device enables customers to mirror their OS through dedicated RAID 1. HPE NS204i presents itself to your management interface as a single directly connected NVMe drive, not a RAID controller. As the NS204i is a hardware OS boot device, only RAID 1 mode is supported and it will not operate in any other RAID mode. HPE NS204i is qqq1qqq1plug-and-playqqq1qqq1 with no need to configure or manage the device. Always ensure you are running the latest iLO version and update server BIOS, FW and drivers when they become available. Notes: In some documentation and GUIs, the NS204i may be referred to as a controller or a device.Key FeaturesAutomatic RAID 1 creationHardware RAID 1 with automatic drive rebuild(2) 480 GB NVMe M.2 SSDs included with the NS204i-p and NS204i-d (SY480 Gen10 Plus option) controllers(2) On-board M.2 drive baysUtilizes native OS NVMe drivers - no custom driver neededFull HPE iLO integration for Redfish, Alerts, GUISupports Intel Gen10 and Intel and AMD Gen10 Plus platforms (see support matrix for details)ModelsHPE NS204i-u Gen11 NVMe Hot Plug Boot Optimized Storage DeviceP48183-B21HPE NS204i-p x2 Lanes NVMe PCIe3 x8 OS Boot DeviceP12965-B21HPE NS204i-d Gen10 Plus NVMe PCIe3 x4 M.2 OS Boot DeviceP21410-B21HPE ProLiant DL36X Gen10 Plus x16/x8 PCIe M.2 NS204i-r Riser KitP26463-B21HPE NS204i-t Gen10 Plus x2 Lanes NVMe PCIe 3 x8 Boot ControllerP20292-B21 M.2 Drive - Required for NS204i-r RiserHPE 480GB NVMe Gen3 Mainstream Performance Read Intensive M.2 Multi Vendor SSDP40513-B21
