G'day mate! Thanks for this video. I really appreciate the effort. Just got my T5820 (XEON w-2255) two weeks ago and upgraded my graphics card from quadro P620 to Nvidia RTX 3090 today. It works really well. Though there were few challenges, like modifying the case but it was worth it. You can add 3090 in your website. Cheers!!
Thanks, great video, making the differences very clear. I think the Flexbay system is plagued with too many rules and limitations. Plus the 250 bucks you have to pay for the VROC module, just to unlock the full RAID potential of the processor, while only supporting 2 slots in the front.
@GreenPCGamerscom I know you linked a single slow nvme card from amazon, do you think the quad cards would work? That dell quad nvme card it hard to find in North America.
Hello, I'm considering getting a Dell T7920 with the quad adapter you discussed in this video. I'm wondering how to set the four m.2 drives in the quad adapter up both as a Windows boot drive and using RAID (e.g., 1 (stripping) or 10). I believe this is possible because when buying directly from Dell, they offer RAID configuration for the four drives in the adapter and as a bootable Windows drive. Also, do you have size, model, and manufacturer recommendations for the m.2 drives in the quad adapter? I'm thinking about Samsung 2TB, but I am unsure of the model. Thank you.
Thanks for the video! I did have a question about the NVME drives. Can you add a second adapter tray with say a Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD 2TB NVMe M.2 card on the top left slot?
Thanks for the video. Quick Question: For T7920 NVMe M.2 PCIe adapter, I am planning to add thermal pad and heatsink to samsung 980 pro NVMe SSD. Will the dell plastic cover still be able to cover it up or fits after adding thermal pad and heatsink? Thanks

Hello, and thanks for the informative video! I am planning to completely replace the storage in my Dell Precision 7820 workstation. I currently have a 512 GB NVMe drive installed in a front slot, along with two hard drives of 2 TB each in the lower slots. I would like to get some advice on the best storage solution in terms of speed, considering that I want to achieve at least 20 TB of capacity and I have a large budget. I am thinking of installing four U.2 disks of 8 TB each in a RAID 5 configuration. Is this a feasible configuration? What additional components would I need to implement it? Would other options be better? Thank you in advance for your suggestions!
@GreenPCGamerscom I just came across this upgrade for PC's and Mac's. Its called the Sonnet McFiver card fron Sonnet. It has two NVMe's (update to 6600MB/sec), two USB-C and 1 10GbE (mutli-speed) RJ45 connection.
I have a couple of 5820s that I'm trying to install a couple of 970 Pro nvme drives in via the PCIe slot 4 using a Dell dual PCIe card with fan like you show. I can't get either to show up in F2 setup. I can see them if I do an f12 boot options but can't install Windows 10 to either since they don't show up on install of Win 10 pro. You showed in your video how they all showed up in F2 setup but not the 980 Pro 2TB drive which is how I installed mine. Any advice on how to make either of them visible? Thanks
Hi did you ever get this to work , I plan on buying a DELL Precision 5820 with DELL pcie nvme adapter and worry I cannot install OS to the drive without some expensive bios option not described in this video ?
It seems that the T7920s doesn't support third party quad-NVME adapters (booting, no. Seeing the actual drives via separate Win 11 OS on a SATA SSD in one of the flex bays, yes) so I've purchased an official dell dual-NVME pcie adapter. I only have two NVMEs on me at the time plus it was a good deal off of ebay. I'm hoping that would be the easiest fix to my boot issue here with my recently purchased t7920 On a side note, I've also been having trouble with the 8 pin power cable clearance for my RTX 4060 OC graphics card in the top PCIE lanes. My quickest workaround with that is to have the side panel hanging via twist-ties & having the intrusion switch covered with tape to trip the switch. In the meantime, I've ordered a right angle 8 pin male to 8 pin female adapter to hopefully give just a bit more clearance to the side panel closing. Has anyone else had any issues with RTX 40xx graphics cards in the T7920 and/or 3rd party 4x NVME pci-e adapters?

Hi, the Samsung 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVM is a 7000mb/s SSD. So why it's showing just 33000mb/s on your benchmark if is correctly intalled on a PCI-e3x16 (16.000mb/s)?
The drive is not installed in a PCIe3x16 slot. It's installed in an M.2 slot. M.2 slots are limited to 4 lanes. So the drive is running at PCI-e3x4 (4000MB/s). Installing 4 drives into the adapter and creating a raid 0 array would get the theoretical 16,000MB/s It's a PCIe 4.0 drive. If you want 7000MB/s on a single drive you need a PCIe 4.0 slot.

Hi, the Samsung 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVM is a 7000mb/s SSD.
So why it's showing just 33000mb/s on your benchmark if is correctly intalled on a PCI-e3x16 (16.000mb/s)?
There is a bottle neck that doesn't allow it to achieve 7000MBs in the T5820/T7820/T7920 workstations.
The drive is not installed in a PCIe3x16 slot. It's installed in an M.2 slot. M.2 slots are limited to 4 lanes.
So the drive is running at PCI-e3x4 (4000MB/s).
Installing 4 drives into the adapter and creating a raid 0 array would get the theoretical 16,000MB/s
It's a PCIe 4.0 drive. If you want 7000MB/s on a single drive you need a PCIe 4.0 slot.
