Is the Dell Precision T7810 compatible with SSD7000/SSD7500 Series NVMe RAID Controllers?

Compatibility Status: Compatible

Link to Compatibility Report: LINK

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

Summary: Dell Precision T7810 workstation platforms are 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 provides PCIe 3.0 connectivity. The motherboards used by T7810 platforms are based on Intel 610 or 612 chipsets (Intel 600 based systems are known to be compatible with HighPoint NVME products). The motherboard’s BIOS provides UEFI support, and provides option ROM settings for UEFI devices.

1. PCIe Host Interface: Dell T7810 platforms supports PCIe Gen3 (PCIe 3.0), and provides 2 or more PCIe 3.0 x16 (x16 electrical) slots.

2. Boot RAID Support (NVMe arrays used to boot a system): Dell T7810 platforms support UEFI BIOS modes, provides Option ROM support, and appears to be able to support bootable NVMe RAID configurations.

3. Data RAID Support (NVMe arrays used for data storage): There are no apparent restrictions for data-only storage configurations

4. Recommended Controllers:

• Bootable Configurations: SSD7103, SSD7202, SSD7500 series (backwards compatibility with PCIe 3.0)
• Maximum Performance: We would recommend the SSD7101A-1. Cross-sync is possible for systems that provide multiple PCIe 3.0 x16 slots with x16 bandwidth. Note, some systems may be shipped with a Graphics Adapter installed into one of these slots.
• Maximum Storage Capacity: We would recommend the 8-port SSD7140 (M.2), though customers could also use the SSD7540 (backwards compatibility with PCIe 3.0).
