View solutionsU.2 and U.3 SSD FAQ
What is the difference between U.2 and U.3?
Both use a serviceable 2.5-inch enterprise form factor. U.3 is designed around the SFF-TA-1001 specification and supports a tri-mode backplane architecture when the host platform is properly configured. Always confirm connector, backplane and host compatibility before selection.
Are industrial-temperature options available?
Commercial- and industrial-temperature options are available within AMP’s U.2 portfolio, depending on the product series and capacity. The AMP3U specifications shown on this page list a commercial temperature grade.
Can AMP support custom endurance or firmware requirements?
Select U.2 configurations can support performance-tuned firmware, over-provisioning, endurance options and thermal or mechanical enhancements. Availability depends on the controller, NAND, capacity and project requirements.
How do I request a configuration?
Select an available product and add the required option to your quote request, or contact AMP with your interface, capacity, endurance, temperature and workload requirements.
