Let's jump right into NVMe! The Dell PowerEdge R730xd has three NVMe solutions: U.2, PCIe, M.2. For the R730, U.2 was not a solution, but with the R730xd, you’re able to use U.2. It will require a special kit that includes a card and a cable. This kit allows you to plug in a total of four, hotswap NVMe drives into the last four bays of the server. The card plugs into a PCIe slot and the cable runs from the card and plugs into the backplane. The U.2 drives can be viewed in iDRAC and in the BIOS. You can install an OS and make a virtual machine. In VMware, you can make the U.2 into a datastore. In terms of PCIe NVMe drives, the PowerEdge R730xd does support this. It is important to note that when using a PCIe NVMe drive, the drive must have Dell firmware. Even if you have a card with Dell firmware, it is still very limited. You cannot install an OS on it and cannot use it in a RAID configuration. It can only be used for extra storage. One thing that is important to be aware of, is making sure that the slot disablement setting in system setup is enabled. If not, the PCIe drive, as well as the U.2 card, and really any PCIe device for that matter, will not be read by the system. The last solution on the list is M.2 NVMe. The R730xd does not have a M.2 connection on the motherboard, so you must purchase a separate PCIe to M.2 adapter that plugs into a PCIe slot. In this video we are using a Supermicro card with two M.2 NVMe drives. Unfortunately, Dell 14th Generation Boss cards are not backwards compatible and will not work with the R730xd or any other 13th gen server. NVMe is ultra fast and offers major speed and performance gains. We stock R730xd U.2, PCIe, and M.2 NVMe solutions, so let us know if you are looking to upgrade or build out a PowerEdge R730xd server.
