AMD Ryzen processing and expandable ECC-capable memory
The AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B processor provides four cores, eight threads and a 2.2GHz clock speed. The system includes 8GB SODIMM DDR4 memory and supports up to 64GB.
- Two SODIMM DDR4 slots are provided.
- ECC memory is supported, but ECC and non-ECC memory cannot be used together.
- The pre-installed non-ECC memory must be removed before an ECC configuration is installed.
2.5GbE networking and flexible PCIe expansion
Two 2.5GbE ports support 2.5G, 1G and 100M speeds. Port Trunking can provide supplied combined transfer speeds up to 5Gbps.
- Two PCIe Gen 3 x4 slots support compatible 5GbE or 10GbE networking, SSD caching, USB, wireless, Fibre Channel and other supplied functions.
- Optional graphics processing, hardware transcoding and HDMI output are available through compatible PCIe hardware.
- GPU pass-through is supported.
M.2 NVMe storage and USB connectivity
Two built-in M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 3 x1 slots support compatible NVMe SSDs for SSD caching and Qtier Technology.
- M.2 SSDs are not included as standard.
- The supplied information recommends installing a heatsink on each M.2 SSD because operation can generate excessive heat.
- Three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports provide 10Gbps connectivity, and one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port provides 5Gbps.
QTS, QuTS hero and supplied switching requirements
QTS is described for cross-team file synchronisation and HDD-SSD hybrid storage. QuTS hero provides supplied ZFS data integrity, inline deduplication, compression and compaction.
- All drives must be removed before switching between QTS and QuTS hero because the operating systems use different file systems.
- QuTS hero requires at least 8GB memory. Inline deduplication requires at least 16GB, with at least 32GB recommended for optimal performance.
- An SSD RAID with at least two SSDs is recommended for the QuTS hero system drive.
2,356MB/s readSupplied SMB sequential result using dual 10GbE
1,524MB/s writeSupplied SMB sequential result using dual 10GbE
The performance figures require the stated optional 10GbE test configuration and may vary with the actual environment.
Important purchasing and deployment notes
- The supplied source does not state whether main SATA drives are included, so no diskless claim has been added.
- M.2 SSDs are not included as standard and are not hot-swappable in the built-in slots.
- ECC and non-ECC memory cannot be mixed; the pre-installed non-ECC memory must be removed for an ECC configuration.
- Switching from QTS to QuTS hero requires removing all drives, and supplied QuTS hero memory requirements should be reviewed before deployment.
