I’m in need of a new host nvme drive that can scale up some sql performance, i read that the nvme 7450 MAX is great for this type of work, but i can’t find the nvme version anywhere where i live, they do however have the same version but inside a ssd enclosure as shown here : https://media-www.micron.com/-/media/client/global/images/image-gallery/products-and-technology/ssds/7450-ssd-with-nvme-product-line/7450-group-ordered-vertical-uhd-2000px-v02.jpg?la=en&rev=e83abc7415c849f08a4860e06fddec10&hash=896CAFBC7236F38B1775B396298361B2 (U.3 7mm and U.3 15mm)
Long shot but maybe someone knows, is this just a simple enclosure that can be opened and the nvme can be extracted from the inside or no? I don’t have any U.3 connections available on my super micro board and i need the regular m2 connector.
There are some Optane drives with m.2 interface like P1600X. Optane may not beat bandwidth records, but their low latency makes them ideal for when you have to do lots of smaller read/write operations like when using databases.
