- Is this drive compatible with a normal desktop PC?
- Only if the board or an adapter provides a U.2 (SFF-8639) connection. A plain M.2 slot will not take it without a U.2-to-M.2 or PCIe adapter.
- How does it compare with PCIe 4.0 enterprise SSDs?
- It gives up peak sequential speed because of its PCIe 3.1 x4 link. It makes up for that with low power draw and heat, which suits dense servers and older platforms.
- What workloads is the SN640 built for?
- Read-heavy server work such as caching, virtualization and general storage. Its endurance is not sized for constant heavy writing.
- Does it include encryption?
- Yes, it supports 256-bit AES encryption at the drive level.
- What is in the box?
- The drive itself. No cable, adapter, heatsink or mounting screws are included, so check your bay and cabling before installing.
