Some questions about NVMe in Dell poweredge R720

Hello all,

I recently got a used Dell Poweredge R720. I am looking to get a NVMe drive(s) for it.

I am looking at getting the PM 1725b. It is Dell brand. But just a couple of questions I have before I finalize the purchase:


1) This is the 1.6 TB AIC model. First, will the PowerEdge be able to boot from this model? Has anyone had any experience on this?


2) Is this just the rebrand of the Samsung PM1725b model? I believe that it is but I just want to check and be sure as I am comparing specs to some other NVMe drives.

Hi,

 

Unfortunately, R720 do not support NVMe drives. This is because the PERC controller that R720 supports, eg: S110 or H710 does not support NVMe drives. Hence, the server will not be able to detect the drives.
