The Dell 12th Gen Dual SD Card Reader Module IDSDM (6YFN5) is designed to provide a redundant boot solution for hypervisors by utilizing two SD cards in a mirrored configuration. This setup ensures that if one SD card fails, the other can seamlessly take over, minimizing downtime.
While the IDSDM offers a compact and efficient solution for hosting hypervisors, it's important to note that it operates over a USB 2.0 interface, which may result in slower performance compared to other storage options. Additionally, users have reported challenges when using SD cards larger than 16GB in mirrored mode, leading to potential synchronization issues. Therefore, it's recommended to use identical SD cards of 16GB or smaller capacity for optimal reliability.
