Feasibility of Attaching M.2 SSDs to Poweredge R330

Hello Astroblast, thanks for choosing Dell.

As you can see from the link above, I don't see NVME support here, I'm afraid.

Let us know if you have any further questions. It is always best that you send us your service tag by DM ‎Direct Messaging | DELL Technologies for better support.

Respectfully,

Hi thank you for the response. If I were to use a SATA M.2 SSD that should work right? If I did that do you know if there are slots on the motherboard to install that? If not what kind of riser would I need to be able to install those.

Thanks

Hello,

From the specification sheet Young provided I believe she was letting you see that we do not have any M.2 drives validated for the R330.

I wouldn't be able to provide you adapter or riser to use one because we do not have any in the parts database for the R330 to use M.2 drives.

Maybe someone in the community that has tried it can share their experience.

We do have quite a few SATA SSD drives available. Sales would be able to take your specification and provide you a quote for purchase.

Oh that makes sense. Thank you.

In that case what SATA SSDs would you recommend? I don't need a ton of storage so I was looking for something in the 250 GB - 500 GB range and I'm planning on setting it up in a RAID 1 configuration.

Thanks
