NVMe is tested natively through an M.2 to PCIe adapter card. We measure SATA performance through a Dell H730P RAID card inside this server, although we set the card in HBA mode only to disable the impact of the RAID card cache. The test platform leveraged in these tests is a Dell PowerEdge R740xd server.
