No RAID for NVMe
NVMe has no SAS stack and hence no RAID. You have a bunch of individual devices which are very very fast. Usual limitation is 10 per servers due to lack of PCIe lanes.
I need to take a closer look at this box and see how they upped the number of available lanes for a 2 socket system, if they didn’t it will be a world of pain.
This box needs a fast SDS layer to control all those individual devices, VSAN and Nutanix for example.
