Storage configuration for Dell PowerEdge R650

I'm buying a Dell PowerEdge R650 for use of Ceph storage. Is it available with 10 x NVME U.3/U.2 and 2 x SATA config? Did I need a specific storage controller (or not) for this config? I'm not in need of RAID capable card if possible. I'm just going to do software RAID in the OS. Thanks.

Hello,

If there is no hardware PERC then it cames S150 PERC software controller. You can check specifications of S150 PERC S150 specifications

 

If these features are not enough, you can take a look at the PERC H840, H740P/ H745, H345, H755, H355 RAID controls.

 

NVMe support Yes

 

NVMe specifications for PERC S150
Specification PERC S150
NOTE:On systems running Windows, if there is no NSID=1 present on the NVMe drive, the drive is not accessible and is marked offline. Firmware upgrades run on the NVMe drive are successful, however.
NVMe connectors PCIe/slimline
NOTE:Only Dell-compliant NVMe PCIe SSD 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF), or NVMe PCIe SSD adapter cards are supported.
Dell-compliant NVMe compatibility Yes
Communication with end devices PCIe
Software-based RAID for NVMe PCIe SSDs Windows RAID: Volume, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10
Linux RAID: RAID 1
NOTE:After the operating system is installed on a RAID 1 disk, you can create non-boot virtual disks of any RAID level supported by the installed Linux operating system using native Linux RAID utilities.
Pass-through NVMe PCIe SSD support Yes
NOTE: Installation of OS on Volume VD through LC UI is not supported.

Hope that helps!
