Hello,
I picked up an older Dell Poweredge T410 server with the motherboard it came with. It is running Xpenology OS, which is essentially Synology's Disk Station Manager OS that has been ported over to work on non-synology hardware. I'm considering adding a PCIe to NVME drive card to add NVME drives. I don't know if this older motherboard will support this or not. Most likely the only one that will work is NVMe M.2 SSD to PCIe X16/X8/X4 Card. I believe the PCIe slots are only PCIe 2.0 and I don't think they support bifurcation. Will any of your PCIe adapters work on this motherboard? If so, which slots would support the adapter? And if so, would the limited speed of PCIe 2.0 make the NVME drives no better than just getting a SATA expansion card to add more drives as far as throughput is concerned? I am only looking to add 2 smaller drives hopefully in a RAID1 array using SHR (Synology Hybrid RAID) to act as a cache drive.
Thank you,
SpencerC
