Wow im glad i watched this video... You are 100% right CD drives are 100% obsolete.

[@jdaniels6830]

Thank you I learned a lot

[@geoffhalsey2184]

I've got a R620 in my homelab and there's also a SD card slot on the front, to the right of the two USB 2.0 slots. Don't know if you can boot off it, as I've never tried. I use the replacement tray option for booting, but you could get an adapter cable 13 pin sata to 22 pin sata if you want to use a external drive or a sata port multiplier for more drives.

I have this same server and want to add expansions for sound and GPU. I have windows and Linux running on it and use it as my PC

[@deanthomas6337]

Great content. How would I locate where the current OS is located. Thank you for your help

[@MohammedAbuabdou]

Thanks for the video. What is the size of the DVD caddy that you used for your R620 server?

[@danimoosakhan]

If I am just running VMware ESXi, does the speed matter between the Flash drive and SD card since ESXi loads up in memory?

[@reloader9114]

Thanks for the great idea. Didn't even know that a ssd DVD caddy was available like that. You should put a link to Amazon so that you might get an affiliate. Anyway thanks for the idea. I Subscribed and liked 👍

[@lonniepuryear4108]

can you add the instructions in configuring the SSD and USB drives?

[@curiouscorpse5450]

I will be doing an OS installation video. It will be a tutorial install. I recorded this OS install but there was just to much i had to cut out for security concerns and this needed to be up and running quickly.

Do you Know Cheap HDDs for Dell R620? Because they are 2,5 ?

[@curiouscorpse5450]

The drives are 2.5". That size is very common among SSDs and HDDs. I will be making a video on the drives I picked.

[@rxyzr]

@@curiouscorpse5450 The 2,5 HDDs are Not so cheap as HDDs

[@dlengelkes]

HI What drives are compatible with the Dell R620 server.

[@tivonh7075]

This depends mostly on your RAID controller in your system.
Generally speaking the backplane of the r620 is capable of running SAS and SATA drives.
SAS is a bit faster and more expensive
SATA works well (if you use SSDs especially)

[@dlengelkes]

@@tivonh7075 thank you. i had to use a megaraid controller in order to see my sas drives. the integrated perc 310 card did not see the drives.
