R760 with RAID from HDD and NVME
Hello,
I have a task. I need to buy R760 but I don't know which chassis to choose. I need a server with two BOSS disks with Raid 1 (for operating system) and also two separate raid arrays. First HDD array with 6 disks (raid 5), and second array with two NVME disks (raid 1). 2 CPU required.
Please help to choose the chassis.
Dell PowerEdge R760 Rack Server | Dell USA
I think i need this, but not sure:
2.5" Chassis up to 16 Drives (8 SAS/SATA + 8 NVMe HWRAID), Smart Flow, 2 PERC, Front PERC 12, 2 CPU
If my choice is correct. Should I choose one of this option?
NVMe and PCIe Storage Adapters
Please help to select the right R760 configuration.
Thank you!
Best regards,
Dimitry

Your selected chassis option look like the right one for me. The system will include two internal PERC Raid controller. Within the configurator the suggested internal controllers are based on the choosed raid level. Choose "unconfigured raid" when eber possibe and the wizzard should show you all options.
You second question have nothing todo with your requirements from the top. The HBAs with an "e" are all good for connecting EXTERNAL jbods, raid arrays, tapes based on the HBA type. The "DIB" means <forgotton>InBOX and the dell factory can place exactly onw boxed item as an extra into the server box. This part have to be assembled manually on the customer side later.
