NVMe 400 GB mainstream solid-state drive (FC ES14)
Learn about the specications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) ES14
adapter.
Overview
The NVMe 400 GB mainstream solid-state drive (FC ES14) is formatted in 4096 byte sectors (4k). The
drive is mounted in the PCIe NVMe carrier card with two M.2 sockets (FC EC59). Driver Write per day
(DWPD) rating is 1 calculated over a 5 year period. Approximately 1,095 TB of data can be written over
the life of the drive, but depending on the nature of the workload might be larger. It is used for boot
support and non-intensive workloads.
Note: Usage beyond boot support and non-intensive workload could result in throttled performance and,
or high temperatures that lead to time-outs and critical thermal warnings. For more information about
mainstream drives, see Mainstream solid-state drives
