Will there be ever a Video discussing NVME u.2 SSDs? I would definitely need it! :) Some special cables are needed and apparently also other serial types of the cables.

[@cloudninjas]

Yes great question. I need to circle back to a bunch of NVMe videos. Hit up our sales team and they can help you. Must be 10 Bay. Must have cables needed. We have in stock and running 2 x R640 specials right now.

Do these ssd's need to be "dell" or can they be off the shelf drives?

[@cloudninjas]

This is a great, albeit tough question. Yes you can use plenty of off the shelf SSDs. However not all are compatible. We've run into issues with certain off the shelf models. We keep it to certain ones we know will work. Happy Holidays!
