Dell has had two generations of servers with hotswap NVMe PCIe SSDs, so very much so yes it does. They occupy the same front access bays that normal SAS/SATA drives would, just different back end connectivity.

Valid question in general, but irrelevant in this case because this drive uses SATA M.2.

According to the PCI-SIG M.2 specs it's not intended for hot-plug! The M.2 connector contacts have an extremely small pitch, making hot-plug “impossible”. Ground pins are not extended, as on larger form factors.

Tom's hardware is operated by the same people as Tom's IT pro, which is an enterprise site and Tom's hardware is a consumer site.

So basically, there not promoting a different site.
