What server model are you looking at? What OS are you going to run on it? If you are using Dell validated SSDs you should not have a problem with that configuration. The controller supports TRIM and should work fine in RAID. If you are using consumer grade SSDs you may have issues.
Those OSes should work fine with the SSDs. I do not see any issues with yor configuration. The only times I have seen problems is with unsupported drives and distros that don't have a driver with HBA mode and no raid cache. With a validated OS and RAID1/10 it should run fine.

Thanks Josh. We are looking at using the R730 and Linux (Red Hat, CentOS, or Ubuntu. Haven't finalized the decision yet). Any issues with this setup?
