wikiM.2 and mSATA SSD Support of Thomas-Krenn Servers
M.2 SATA, M.2 PCIe NVME and mSATA SSDs are particularly suitable as boot devices for the installation of the operating system. The following table shows, which of these SSDs can be used in Thomas-Krenn servers and LES systems. This leaves conventional 2.5"/3.5" slots free in a server - these slots can then be used for other purposes (e.g. RAID for data storage).
