PowerEdge T430 NVME SSD ICY DOCK SAS CONVERSION
As the title says,
Would I be able to use the Icy Dock EZConvert 2.5" Hard Drive Enclosure to convert NVME M.2 SSDs into SAS to work with the current backplane? I'm aware that I may need a new RAID card in order to do this, but would the system at least boot in the meantime?

Hello,
Unfortunately I do not have guidance from Dell on this product. Dell has not validated it in any server.
That doesn't mean it won't work. You may try it or someone in the Community has tried it and can share their experience.
I will note I don't see any NVME drives validated by Dell for the T430

Thats a converter from M.2 to U.2 which are both native NVMe ports. Its not a Converter to SAS. So you need a U.2 or Universial Packplane which is unlikely for a T430.
