The Dell PowerEdge M620 provides comprehensive internal storage options, including several drive types and storage controllers to choose from. The M620 supports up to 1.2TB of internal storage. Express Flash PCIe SSDs are a new option that can provide vastly accelerated performance over previous technologies. Dell Express Flash drives use PCIe lanes to connect directly to the processor and chipset and are easily accessible by hot-plug drive bay. The M620 is available in three different hard-drive backplane options. Table 10 lists the options for backplanes, hard-drive controllers, and drive types for the M620.
