Frequently Asked Questions
Why all-NVMe instead of a hybrid configuration?
All-NVMe with 1:1 PCIe Gen5 connectivity gives consistent low latency and high IOPS for vSAN, VDI, and SDS, eliminating the variability of hybrid disk tiers.
Is this certified for VMware and major hypervisors?
The SR650 V3 platform is broadly certified across leading hypervisors and SDS stacks; we confirm certification for your exact OS and storage software before delivery.
Can I scale storage capacity later?
Yes. The 24 bays can be populated with higher-capacity NVMe SSDs and the platform supports rear and mid-bay options; we plan headroom into the initial spec.
