Configuring R730 with NVMe and PCIE SSD's
I am trying to configure an R730 as a Hyper-V host. Is it possible to configure an R730 with a raid 1 of two NVMe 2.5" drives to support the OS and then have a secondary raid 5 for data storage with basic 2.5" SATA SSD drives used for data backup and then run a PCIE Fusion card to host the virtual machines. Then I will back up the virtual machines to the SATA raid when the virtual machines are not in use and also use that raid for non intensive VM's. I am looking for maximum drive speed for the virtual machines and I will only be hosting roughly 15 machines, 8 of which will be CAD users.
Thanks

Timbo126,
The server does support the use of NVMe and the PCIe SATA SSD's as well as the use of the Fusion IO card, which can be found here. <ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell> It also appears that according to Microsoft the Fusion card would also be supported within the Hyper-V environment.
Let me know if this helps answer your questions.

I have an r730xd. I am trying to use the PCIE NVME SSD.
Question 1
Samsung 950PRO This product is available and can be used as a bootable disc, or can not boot, but is it usable?
Question 2
Samsung SM961 Is it possible to use this product but it is not bootable?
Question 3
I would appreciate it if you have any available NVME devices, even if they are not bootable.
Answers I'll wait. Thank you very much for your reply ^^

Thank you so much ~
Let me ask you one more thing.
Do you know if there are any products that can run nvme pcie other than pro950 / sm961? It does not matter if you can not boot.

What kind of adapter did you use? Does it support Samsung 960 pro?
Do you know if "Mailiya M.2 PCIe to PCIe 3.0 x4 Adapter - Support M.2 PCIe 2280, 2260, 2242, 2230" is supported?

Hi, Chris,
Is a R730xd with 24 drive slots compatible with Micron 9300 Max SSD ?
Thanks!

Try to confirm that your model R730 has a sas/sata backplane, and if its configured to support nvme drives. I also suggest updating the bios, idrac and storage controllers in the system to latest versions to see if that will help. Non-Dell drives can be problematic if the latest firmware versions arent installed.
