EDSFF Guide

Handling And Monitoring EDSFF

Summary

This guide is meant for OEMs and integrators to use for their assembly.

See a brief intro to EDSFF on our SSD Attributes article.

Overview

  • EDSFF stands for "Enterprise and Datacenter Standard Form Factor" and is not only for SSDs.
    • Purposely built for integrated circuits (like NAND).
  • All EDSFF (as of this writing) use the same connector, interface and protocol.
    • This means any EDSFF can be switched with another, limited by the physical dimensions of the unit(s) and system.
  • Solidigm™ creates drives in a few EDSFF types:
    • E1.L
      • Stands for "EDSFF 1U Long".
      • Height is for a 1U server, length is 320mm, thickness varies.
      • Meant to maximize capacity in small footprint.
    • E1.S
      • Stands for "EDSFF 1U Short".
      • Height is for a 1U server, length is 110-120mm long, thickness varies.
      • Meant to replace M.2 110mm form factor.
    • E3.S
      • Stands for "EDSFF 3U Short".
      • Height is for a 3U server, length is 110-140mm long, thickness varies.
      • Meant to replace U.2 or 2.5-inch form factor.
