Product Positioning
XS-SSD-8118Z-M2 brings the xSONiC NVMe SSD family into compact M.2-2280 deployments. It is suited to systems where board space, low power, and PCIe Gen4 performance must fit within a smaller storage footprint.
Core Capabilities
- M.2-2280 form factor for compact server and appliance designs.
- PCIe Gen4 x4 and NVMe 1.4 for high-performance local storage.
- Capacity options from 0.48TB to 4TB.
- Up to 7.1 GB/s sequential read and 1,000K random read IOPS.
- Low-power operation below 8.0W.
Technical Notes
The M.2 model is intended for compact deployments that still require enterprise-style performance and operational visibility. It is useful for boot, metadata, cache, and application storage roles where U.2 serviceability is less important than board-level density.
Typical Deployment Scenarios
- Edge and appliance storage.
- Compact server boot or application storage.
- Metadata and cache tiers.
- High-density compute nodes with local NVMe requirements.
