Dell Precision Tower 5820
When this workstation was order it was configured with no redundancy. I am tasked with adding a mirrored raid array. I was hoping to just get a HighPoint PCIE NVME Raid card with 1TB NVME drives and configure that to be my OS drive, but I thought I better make sure I can configure the workstation to boot from that Highpoint PCIe card. I looked and could not find any definitive answer that it is. It looks like the chipset is the C422 if that helps. I am pretty sure it is, but I am not sure if this Dell workstation can be configured for this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Broadcom MegaRAID SAS 9440-8i and 9460-16i are tested and validated RAID controllers for Precision 5820.
For low cost setup, use the integrated Intel RAID controller with SATA SSD for RAID 1 OS.

According to High Point, yes if it's the SSD7000 or SSD7500 series. Are Dell Precision 5820 workstations compatible with SSD7000/SSD7500 Series NVMe RAID Controllers?
