Figure 69. PowerEdge R6615 CPU mapping with eight NVMe drives
This 1U PowerEdge R6615 configuration supports eight NVMe drives. All eight of these NVMe drives connect directly to the CPU. Although AMD single-socket backplanes only have support for PCIe Gen 4, this configuration still offers the low latency benefits of NVMe and direct connection to the CPU without any tradeoffs to the I/O.
