In this video we'll share some valuable info about the Precision T7920 NVMe Flex Bay Adapter. Initially we couldn't recognize our add-on NVMe M.2 SSD with the adapter. We dug deeper in to the issue, and found out why it wasn't working.

Thanks, this video helped us confirm we could take these apart without messing anything up for putting it back together!

Thanks for this valuable video! Does one also need Intel VROC key to make this work or to enable SAS / Raid functionality?

Thanks, very useful video! I have a 5820 and am trying to replace the NVME/SAS backplane with a regular SATA backplane. Can you tell me the part number of the standard SATA backplane? BTW, even though there is a 3.5" drive cage above the NVME cage, it will not accommodate a SATA drive. It appears that both backplane connectors are NVME/SAS.

So I have an NVME backplane and adapters, but I've moved my NVME's to an PCIE adapter. Can you run SAS or SATA drives on those slots?

Nice video! Question I have a 5820. Whenever I put a regular 3.5" HDD in any of the 4 slots, it's spinning but my system is not recognizing any drive in any of the slots. Do I need an extra component to activate? I've been searching online for months and finally came across you guys and you guys are the closest help to possibly resolving this for me. Not really looking for using the slots for a NVMe drive, I just want the extra storage room with my regular drives. Thanks in advance!

@GreenPCGamerscom Жыл бұрын

Were all 4 of your slots originally configured for NVMe? You can check by looking at the backplanes and cabling to the system board.

Check the BIOS settings for the onboard SAS controller. You'll have no SATA from any of the onboard ports with it disabled.@@riyanalmaiman

We've tried installing regular ssd's/mechanical drives in the NVMe slots in the past and they haven't been recognized by the systems. However, we still need to do more testing with this issue because it seems silly that it doesn't work with both NVMe SSDs and regular drives.

What's the max speed i can get over the dell flexbay nvme adapter? For example, i can use these new gen 4 ssds nvme and get over 5000 mb/s on this way of connection? Thank's

@GreenPCGamerscom 3 жыл бұрын

Independently they will cap out at around 3gb read/write speeds. This is assuming you are using nvme ssds capable of running at those speeds. If you put them in a raid configuration, 5gb + is achievable.

The 5820 has a permanent side panel with rivets, no clue how to remove without drilling them. Thanks a bunch Dell.

You can replace the T5820/T7820 nvme backplanes by removing the standard removable side panel. www.serverworlds.com/dell-nkn20-precision-t5820-t7820-nvme-ssd-cage/

Is the entire backplane different for all 4 drives? Im looking for a machine with 4 sas and no nvme and it seems like one backplane is 4xsas/sata and one is 2xsas/sata + 2 nvme.

You could swap out the nvme backplane for another sas backplane.

So does this mean that I can’t install an M.2 on my 5820 that didn’t originally come with an M.2.

@GreenPCGamerscom 3 жыл бұрын

Correct, your T5820 will most likely require the upgrade backplane to work with NVMe M.2 SSDs. An alternative solution would be to use PCIe NVMe Adapter. Check out our T5820 Gaming Computer video for more details.

@@GreenPCGamerscom So once you change out to the Back plane both hot swap bays will need to have m.2 drives correct? Having pulled out the previous SAS /SATA cable system that was in there I have noticed that the two bays (4 hot Swap) have combined cables and connectors. Do you have the part numbers from your Second T7920 system for the regular bay that will support standard HD and SSD's. Thanks!

Hello, What's needed to use the NVME/SAS backplane with NVME drives and a MegaRaid 9440-8i? I want to run two NVME drives in a RAID 1 but I don't want to buy the Intel VROC dongle. I have tried to make this work but have run into an issue in which the MegaRaid will not see the NVME drives. If I switch to SATA drives the MegaRAID sees the drives. Thanks!

No way to do "hardware" raid on nvme without vroc, because nvme interface directly go to CPU pci-e bus lanes. But you can always make software raid with windows and linux standard utilities.
