HPE Boot Device Options

HPE Boot Device Options 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 480 GB M.2 NVMe SSDs. This device no longer takes up a PCIe slot, and auto-creates RAID1 volume. The HPE NS204i-u Gen11 is compatible with Gen11 platforms, and the NS204i-u V2 is compatible with DL365, DL385 Gen11 and Gen12 Platforms.
