Hi folks, I=E2=80=99ve been looking at mailing list archives, talking to my server = vendor, looking at the official forums and I=E2=80=99m not finding lots = of folks talking about NVMe drives. My forum query on hot-swap got a = total of one response (and not from a NVMe user). I=E2=80=99m looking at new servers and we really tend to use them until = they drop, and it seems not too crazy to think that SATA and SAS SSDs = will start growing scarce in 5-8 years (or at least get more expensive = than NVMe when it=E2=80=99s mainstream). It seems like laptops and even = many desktops are now using NVMe drives in the m.2 format. IOW, it=E2=80=99= s the future. So can anyone comment on using NVMe in production, specifically the = =E2=80=9Cu.2=E2=80=9D format that gives you a nice 2.5=E2=80=9D drive = with hot swap capability? And more specifically, can you comment on how = well (if at all) hot swap works? Really open to any feedback before I = commit to buying a few servers based on NVMe drives. Thanks, Charles=
