Are Supermicro M11SDV-8c-LN4F motherboards compatible with SSD7000/SSD7500SSD6540 Series NVMe RAID Controllers and Enclosures?

Compatibility Status: Compatible (Boot & Data RAID)

Link to Compatibility Report:  

Note: The compatibility reports we provide are based on the target platform/motherboard research, using the manufacturer’s official specifications and product documentation.

Summary: The Supermicro M11SDV-8c-LN4F motherboard is capable of supporting HighPoint SSD7000 series NVMe RAID controllers. SSD7500 series controllers can also be used with this platform but will be unable to operate at full speed, as the systems only provide PCIe 3.0 connectivity. The SSD6540 series NVMe RAID enclosures utilize a PCIe Gen3 x16 NVMe HBA for external connectivity, which appears to be compatible with this platform. The motherboard utilizes the AMD EPYC 3000 Chipset (SoC). The motherboard’s BIOS provides UEFI support and provides option ROM settings for UEFI and legacy devices.
