Captions: Hi, welcome to Bytestock and our series of videos regarding NVMe drives. Previously we've looked at such servers as the R630 and R640 and discussed some differences between the two servers and generations. So, here today, I've got an R740XD. This is the 24-bay version; this is the one that will allow us to have NVMe drives.

So, as we've looked at before, the first thing is, can the server actually take it? Yes, it can; NVMe drives will work on an R740XD. We also know that we have to have the right components. So, here are a couple of features that I've got here, we've got one of the NVMe extender cards, and we've also got one of the cables here.

Just removing the lid, I've also released a couple of other parts already so that you can see we don't have any fans here. The extender will plug into our riser at the back, and the cable will run from the back to the front. What this is going to do it's actually going to enable us to have 4 NVMe drives.

So we'd have 20 drives working with our PERC controller, so that's just the H330 or the H740p, and then we'll have the 4 drives available to us for NVMe. The R740XD can take up to 24; however, once again, we've discussed whether my server can do it? Whilst it can take up to 24 drives, it is a different configuration; it requires a different backplane and cables. So, if you are considering upgrading and you currently have an R740XD, chances are you probably won't be able to utilise all 24 bays; however, you could use up to 12 bays.

Once again, with more cards and more cables. For more information, speak to your account manager or call us, and we'll be happy to run through all the options available.
