Each M.2 socket can accommodate an NVMe type SSD module, with a PCI Express® x4 Gen3 interface for superior data transfer rates. When used as main mass storage devices in a system, the NVMe SSDs can speed up the overall system performance dramatically.

For optimum SE4-TEMPO performance, a PCI Express® Gen3 x8 enabled backplane slot is recommended (CompactPCI® Serial fat pipe slot).
