This 1U PowerEdge R6615 configuration supports six, eight or ten SAS/SATA drives with four universal slots which can be used for NVMe drives. With the SAS/SATA drives will go through PERC11 or PERC12. With the NVMe drives will 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.
