NetApp Storage Compatibility

Designed for compatible NetApp enterprise storage platforms supporting the X4014A 15.36TB NVMe SSD.

Potential deployment environments include:

• NetApp AFF A-Series storage systems

• Compatible NetApp NVMe storage shelves, including supported NS224 configurations

• NetApp ONTAP storage environments supporting the appropriate drive model and firmware

Important: Compatibility depends on the exact NetApp system, ONTAP version, drive firmware, sector format, and storage configuration. Verify the NetApp Hardware Universe compatibility information before installation.

Important Compatibility and Security Notes

• This is a 15.36TB NVMe U.2 SSD, not a SATA or SAS drive.

• Requires a compatible U.2 NVMe backplane and storage controller.

• NetApp OEM firmware may use a 520-byte sector format. Standard server deployments may require a compatible namespace format such as 512-byte or 4096-byte sectors.

• Changing the sector format does not inherently remove the SSD's hardware encryption capabilities.

• SED authentication or locking may need to be reset before reuse if the drive was previously secured by another system.

• Verify the drive's security state, firmware, and namespace format before deployment.

• Drive tray or carrier is not included unless shown in the product photos.
