Samsung PM1725a NVMe 1.6 TB 5DWPD PCIe3.0 x8 LP Adapter (FC EKSQ)

Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) EKSQ adapter.

Overview

The Samsung PM1725a NVMe 1.6 TB 5DWPD PCIe3.0 x8 LP Adapter is a PCI Express (PCIe) generation 3 (Gen3) x8 adapter. The adapter can be used in either a x8 or x16 PCIe slot in the system. The adapter utilizes Samsung V-NAND flash memory, which features a unique design that stacks 48 layers on top of another. It also employs cost-effective TLC (triple-level cell) flash memory, which delivers higher reliability than MLC (multi-level cell) planar NAND flash memory SSDs.
