Transmission advantages:
The synergistic advantage of GEN-Z and NVME protocols: Due to the
support of GEN-Z SSD being converted through this adapter card and
connected to the U.2 (SFF-8639) interface that supports NVME
protocol, the advantages of these two high-performance storage
protocols can be fully utilized. The GEN-Z protocol has outstanding
performance in high-speed data transmission, low latency, and
efficient communication between devices, while the NVME protocol
also has significant advantages in improving SSD read and write
performance, optimizing instruction processing, and other aspects.
The combination of the two enables extremely fast response speed
and efficient data transmission in practical applications, whether
it is large-scale database read and write operations, real-time
processing of high-definition video streams, or data interaction in
complex virtualization environments. This greatly shortens the
waiting time for data read and write, improves the overall
efficiency of the storage system, and meets the strict requirements
of modern data intensive applications for storage performance.
High quality transmission guarantee: With the help of the U.2
(SFF-8639) output interface and optimized circuit design inside the
adapter card, this product can achieve high-speed and stable data
transmission. It has a high theoretical transmission rate, which is
sufficient to cope with complex application scenarios such as
massive data concurrent read and write in data centers and
multitasking data processing in high-performance servers. At the
same time, by using high-quality signal transmission lines and
advanced signal conditioning technology, signal attenuation and
interference are effectively reduced, ensuring the integrity and
accuracy of data during transmission. Even in complex
electromagnetic environments, stable and reliable data transmission
can be guaranteed, avoiding system lag or data loss caused by data
transmission problems, and providing users with reliable and
efficient storage services.
Usage:
Inserting GEN-Z SSD: First, ensure that the device is turned off to ensure safe
operation and avoid damage to the GEN-Z SSD. Find the EDSFF E1. S
slot on the adapter card, carefully align the gold finger of the
GEN-Z SSD with the slot, pay attention to the markings on the SSD
and the corresponding features of the slot, and ensure that the
direction is correct. Then, smoothly insert the GEN-Z SSD into the
slot until the SSD is fully inserted and firmly secured by the
slot's fixing structure, avoiding damage to the SSD or slot caused
by forced insertion.
Connect the target device: After inserting the GEN-Z SSD into the slot, connect the U.2
(SFF-8639) output interface of the adapter card to the
corresponding interface on the target device (such as data center
servers, high-performance workstations, and other devices that
support the U.2 (SFF-8639) interface). When connecting, pay
attention to the correct direction of the interface. Gently insert
the interface of the adapter card into the target device interface,
and then press it evenly to ensure that the interface is fully
inserted and tightly fitted, to prevent poor contact. For some
interfaces that require additional fixation, screws or buckles
should be used to firmly fix the adapter card according to the
design requirements of the equipment, to ensure that it will not
loosen due to vibration during equipment operation.
System identification and configuration: After completing the hardware connection, start the target device.
The system will automatically recognize the connected SSD during
the boot process, and users can perform operations such as
recognition, partitioning, and formatting on the newly connected
SSD in the disk management tool of the operating system. Depending
on the operating system, the specific steps may vary, but generally
speaking, in Windows systems, users can perform corresponding
operations through the "Disk Management" tool; In Linux systems,
command-line tools such as "fdisk" and "mkfs" can be used to
partition and format hard drives. After completing these basic
configurations, users can store and read data on SSDs just like
using a regular hard drive, and begin to enjoy the convenience
brought by the expanded large capacity and high-speed storage.
