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.
