Dell PowerEdge R630 Server | NVMe SSDs Overview | Install Tips | How to Configure | M.2 | U.2 | PCIe

Thank you for the great video. Do you know "Supermicro PCIe to M.2 adapter" approach will work with Ubuntu / KVM? Also ... Do we have to use supermicro card or some similar adapter from amazon will be okay (like EYI Quad NVMe PCIe 4.0 Expansion Card , Dual M.2 PCIE Adapter for SATA , etc. )?

I have a question is it possible to install OS like ProxMox on the Supermicro + M.2 solution and use it as boot drive ?

Is the setup the same when using a R640 with those NVMe cables?

Hi I’m curious if you use the super micro nvme expander, I guess it recognize the two drives, but can u boot ur system from those two drives? Like esxi or truenas scale? Any follow up? Thanks

Thank you out of the 3 which one has the fastest read write speed?

Those gloves you are wearing, where can I buy them? what are they called?

Which NVMe form factor (M.2, U.2 or PCIe gen xx ?) should I use to create a Ceph HA cluster for creating VM/CT on Proxmox hypervisor.
Proxmox node cluster is running on local 2x SAS SSDs connected to RAID/perc?

I have R640 with NVMe cables from backplane to motherboard. In this video you have a card in riser to Backplane. Do you hvae this card for R460? and can I configure RAID 1 on 2 NVMe drives???

This video is a reference for M.2 Dell 13 gen installation

You have to have vmware to see m.2 on the power edge? Or do you mean the os cant boot from them but a hypervisor can use them?

Are you sure that only a PCIe NVMe SSD with Dell Firmware will work? I don't see any reason why, since in the OS it should just show up as an additional PCIe device, no?

I used the M.2 on Hyper-V using storage spaces, proxmox, Truenas, Linux, in general, using ZFS... for storing VMs. As for booting, I have to use the SD add-in card to run clover boot and boot from NVME but as far as general storage you can use any SDS solution

Good day, what adapter will work in DELL R540?

does it able to boot from nvme on pcie?

have you guys try using asus hyper x m2 on the pcie riser? does it fit?

There are rumors the u.2 nvme via expander is much slower only reading about 1GB/sec. Have you guys experienced this?

For the U.2 using dell pcie expander kit does the nvme ssd must be Dell? With Dell firmware?

can you install os such as Proxmox on PCIe slot? I have a 8 bay R630, I can configure RAID and install my OS on those front panel SATA/SAS SSDs, but I want install OS and boot from a M.2 PCIe.

Have a link to the super micro m.2 card?

What?
