PCIe SSD In Slot Card Properties
The PCIe SSD in slot card is similar to a physical disk in Storage Management. This PCIe SSD card is directly attached to the PCIe SSD
subsystem, unlike a PCIe extender card which is attached to an enclosure or backplane. You can view information about the PCIe SSDs
and run PCIe SSD tasks on the PCIe SSD in slot card Properties page. To view the complete PCIe SSD in slot card properties, click Full
View on the top of the page. For more information, see PCIe SSD in Slot Card Tasks
The following table lists the PCIe SSD in slot card properties.
