The HPE P48183-B21 NS204i-u Gen11 NVMe Hot Plug Boot Optimized Storage Device is a dedicated boot storage solution for HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers. Designed to separate operating system storage from primary data drives, it supports two hot-pluggable M.2 NVMe SSDs with RAID 1 mirroring for improved boot reliability and simplified server management.

The NS204i-u provides dedicated storage for operating system installation, allowing primary drive bays to remain available for application and data storage while simplifying server deployment and maintenance.
Support for RAID 1 mirroring across two M.2 NVMe SSDs helps maintain operating system availability by providing redundancy in the event of a drive failure.
Each M.2 slot supports PCIe Gen4 x2 NVMe SSDs, delivering significantly faster boot and operating system performance compared to traditional SATA boot devices.
Engineered specifically for compatible HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers, the NS204i-u integrates seamlessly into enterprise server environments while supporting hot-plug drive replacement for simplified servicing.
