Your video was the only one that clearly explained the process and showed the exact steps to perform to install the drives for 7820. Your links also had the actual parts to purchase to make this work. It was impossible to find this information, dell website was next to useless. Thank you for the clear and extremely helpful info
I completely agree. Mine has the NVME backplane installed. I see that you can use the Gen 4 NVME drives but will you get the speed?
@@donmonteith775 No. These are Gen 3 systems
Yes this is such a useful resource channel.
@@donmonteith775Gen 4 ssds are backwards compatible in case you’re looking for future proofing. It will adjust to Gen 3 x 4 speeds with T7820.
Great Video. Very succint and to the point. You answered a lot of "What If?" Questions i had about the system. Thanks!
G'day mate! Thanks for this video. I really appreciate the effort. Just got my T5820 (XEON w-2255) two weeks ago and upgraded my graphics card from quadro P620 to Nvidia RTX 3090 today. It works really well. Though there were few challenges, like modifying the case but it was worth it. You can add 3090 in your website. Cheers!!
Thanks, great video, making the differences very clear. I think the Flexbay system is plagued with too many rules and limitations. Plus the 250 bucks you have to pay for the VROC module, just to unlock the full RAID potential of the processor, while only supporting 2 slots in the front.
Thanks for the video! I did have a question about the NVME drives. Can you add a second adapter tray with say a Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD 2TB NVMe M.2 card on the top left slot?
Hello, I'm considering getting a Dell T7920 with the quad adapter you discussed in this video. I'm wondering how to set the four m.2 drives in the quad adapter up both as a Windows boot drive and using RAID (e.g., 1 (stripping) or 10). I believe this is possible because when buying directly from Dell, they offer RAID configuration for the four drives in the adapter and as a bootable Windows drive.
Also, do you have size, model, and manufacturer recommendations for the m.2 drives in the quad adapter? I'm thinking about Samsung 2TB, but I am unsure of the model. Thank you.
How good are these Dells for 2024 to perform as image processing/video editing device?
System T5820: Hi I saw in your excelect video the model DPWC300 for two M.2. Installed a 980 Pro 1TB. Like in your video after installing the BIOS show on slot 4 the Mass Storage. During the Windows OS installation I can't slect these drive. Is there any trick to get it visible?
Is it possible to set up a RAID 0 with 4 NVMe SSDs on the Dell 7820 using the Dell Ultra SSD M.2 PCIe x4 Solid State Storage Adapter Card?
excellent videos I just bought a x99 motherboard with an i7 5820k and I'm very happy recommend me a xeon to get the most out of the motherboard supports up to xeon v3 and v4 processors
greetings from Costa Rica!
What would you do if you install several nvme in the right order but only the first one gets detected?
I had always a samsung evo 1tb as bootable on slot 0, now added another of the same and a 2tb pro, but non of them get detected. Might he because the slot 0 is bootable? Or what else can it be?
@GreenPCGamerscom I just came across this upgrade for PC's and Mac's. Its called the Sonnet McFiver card fron Sonnet. It has two NVMe's (update to 6600MB/sec), two USB-C and 1 10GbE (mutli-speed) RJ45 connection.
is it possible to boot from NVME disks in the DELL quad adapter without some kind of bios NVME boot option ? I am thinking of buying a DELL Precision 5820 and booting the OS from the DELL PCIE nvme adapter as it has plenty of slots but I don't want trouble looking for BIOS upgrade options rumored in Another video to make this work.
Is Samsung 980 PRO RAID compatible? i.e. what do you see in BIOS devides VROC section?
I wonder are the first two items also compatible with the Dell 5810's?
Also the dual and quad card work in T7810
Hi to all the guys here. Would like to make an important question in my case concerning these dell computers that come with raid as an active drive controller (intel rst active) and not ahci. The problem is that whenever i try to boot into these machines in a winpe environment with the Strelec package if you know that, in order to reset the admin password if i cannot log into it or just backup the data of a user into an external hdd before reinstalling windows if the precedent os is damaged and cannot be repaired, the internal hdd-s or ssd-s of just the os directories into the drives are invisible. I click on “This PC” and there’s only my usb visible and nothing else. I made a search on the internet and it seems it has something to do with the intel rst driver that abstracts the hdd from the os. Please help me, what should i do in this case in order to be able managing the pc even when the pc is unbootable or just the admin password is not recognized.
Thanks for the video. Quick Question: For T7920 NVMe M.2 PCIe adapter, I am planning to add thermal pad and heatsink to samsung 980 pro NVMe SSD. Will the dell plastic cover still be able to cover it up or fits after adding thermal pad and heatsink? Thanks
We've never tried that. However, you'll most likely be able to find a heatspreader that will fit underneath the plastic fan cover. Let us know if you are successful.
What will be the cost if I have a new 5820 to convert to gaming for my son..Thanks
I purchased a Gen-4 WD-Black SN770 - but it is showing to be running at Gen-3 speed only - am I am using a generic PCIe adapter. Is this the upper limit of T5820 regardless of how I connect this drive? Or would using a Dell PCIe adapter yield a higher performance?
The motherboard and cpu on t5820s only support gen3...
you need a gen4 slot to get gen4 speeds
Thanks very much for your T5820 videos! I'll looking at purchasing a used one and researching upgrade possibilities. Just to double check I understand what you did in this video correctly - you were able to have the M.2 drives in the FlexBay at the same time as the Quad M.2 PCI card? Unitil seeing this video I thought you could only do one or the other. Also - have you by chance looking into whether this setup works in Windows 11 (I'm wondering if the drivers for the Quad M.2 card work correctly with Windows 11). Would really appreciate any insight on these aspects, and thanks again for the great video.
Yes, you can install NVMe SSDs in the Flex Bay as well as the IO slots at the same time. Windows 11 does work on the T5820. However, we don't know if there are any NVMe drives issues yet.
Can this work with the dell tower 5810???
I have a couple of 5820s that I'm trying to install a couple of 970 Pro nvme drives in via the PCIe slot 4 using a Dell dual PCIe card with fan like you show. I can't get either to show up in F2 setup. I can see them if I do an f12 boot options but can't install Windows 10 to either since they don't show up on install of Win 10 pro. You showed in your video how they all showed up in F2 setup but not the 980 Pro 2TB drive which is how I installed mine. Any advice on how to make either of them visible? Thanks
Hi did you ever get this to work , I plan on buying a DELL Precision 5820 with DELL pcie nvme adapter and worry I cannot install OS to the drive without some expensive bios option not described in this video ?
@@BenBilesBB-box Having the same problem here with the boot drives & the NVMEs
It seems that the T7920s doesn't support third party quad-NVME adapters (booting, no. Seeing the actual drives via separate Win 11 OS on a SATA SSD in one of the flex bays, yes) so I've purchased an official dell dual-NVME pcie adapter. I only have two NVMEs on me at the time plus it was a good deal off of ebay.
I'm hoping that would be the easiest fix to my boot issue here with my recently purchased t7920
On a side note, I've also been having trouble with the 8 pin power cable clearance for my RTX 4060 OC graphics card in the top PCIE lanes. My quickest workaround with that is to have the side panel hanging via twist-ties & having the intrusion switch covered with tape to trip the switch. In the meantime, I've ordered a right angle 8 pin male to 8 pin female adapter to hopefully give just a bit more clearance to the side panel closing.
Has anyone else had any issues with RTX 40xx graphics cards in the T7920 and/or 3rd party 4x NVME pci-e adapters?
This is a GREAT video! I have been going round and round with Dell Pro Support trying to get them to find the complete FlexBay assembly for an SSD upgrade. I hadn't thought about a Quad adapter, so THANK YOU for that option! I have been trying to order the M.2 2280 NVME FLEXBAY MODULE, but they sent me just the empty metal frame - had to return it. I cannot locate ANY of the components you show here on Dell's website - and both the tech support and sales support are completely clueless. Twice now, a sales agent has promised to "research" my request and email me a quote... and twice now, nothing. It's insane. The shipping box you show in your video is exactly the same as the one they sent me with the wrong parts, so I am assuming you bought those directly from Dell.
*** For those three items you are showing, any chance to could share the Part Numbers and Descriptions from the invoice?? ***
I am at my wits end dealing with Dell, going on three months of back and forth.
BTW, Love this channel, new Subscriber!
We try to post most of the parts that we use on our upgrade guides:

Omg so you can can use U.2 and U.3 SSDs with the NVMe backplane and the standard flexbay cage that's awesome ! if only Dell would provide this option to not have to order some pieces separately...
Can you use larger drives with Dell ultra speed expansion board? Like 8TB nvme m.2 drives?
The largest capacity that we have tested is 2TB. Let us know if you try larger capacity.
Can you boot off the PCIe 4 x NVMe card or do you always need an SSD or some drive attached to the main backplane?
Yes, you can boot off the nvme io card without the nvme backplane installed.
@GreenPCGamerscom I know you linked a single slow nvme card from amazon, do you think the quad cards would work? That dell quad nvme card it hard to find in North America.
I work at a scrap yard and came across a brand new 7920 but have no computer knowledge. I want to set it up but can’t seem to find any videos setups and start ups. No hdmi and old school keyboard and mouse plug ins lol can you do an in depth review on the precision 7920? Thanks
Yes, when we get our hands on one.
Here is the guide:
www.greenpcgamers.com/mfg/dell/precision-tower-7920-gaming-computer-and-upgrade-guide/
Thanks, very useful video! I've an NVME adapter with 4 ports, like the one you have.
Do you know why I cannot read in the BIOS any information about the two disks I've insert? One of them is working for sure because has windows in it and I can indeed read it as C drive, but the second one it simply invisible! :/
Make sure you install the M.2 SSDs incrementally 0, 1, 2, 3.
@@GreenPCGamerscom thanks for your answer! I am placing them incrementally. The other M.2 though is the one with 2 notches, key M+B, maybe this is the reason?
I have one problem with that workstation, can u help me?
I'm trying to install Windows 10 on the m2, but the installer can't find it. The only storage showing up in the installer, is the HDD 2tb.
My m2, is similiar to the one that you installed on 4:12
Are you using the IO card or the 3.5" Tray and Adapter? Is the Bios boot settings set to UEFI?
Super valuable video for self-upgrade!
One question: Do you know why DELL still does not implement 3rd or 4th generation XEON processors in their Precision Workstation line?
All machines on their websites use 2 to 5 years old processors...
The sockets are different. Intel generally stays on the same socket for 2 years.
@@StarGuardian8180 Wow thank you for your answer!
I forgot about this comment. DELL already on April announced the new lineup of workstations with up to 56 cores CPUs and they are so powerful that actually no need for a second CPU on the system.
Something for a funny start to today - with these things that happened recently with the LTT, the comment sections have been more and more useful for quality, valuable, and most importantly Honest information about PC and IT at general topics and stuff! ;)
Thank you once again and now I will go and answer to on one programming question from other video to return the favour and help someone else :).
Hi, the Samsung 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVM is a 7000mb/s SSD.
So why it's showing just 33000mb/s on your benchmark if is correctly intalled on a PCI-e3x16 (16.000mb/s)?
There is a bottle neck that doesn't allow it to achieve 7000MBs in the T5820/T7820/T7920 workstations.
The drive is not installed in a PCIe3x16 slot. It's installed in an M.2 slot. M.2 slots are limited to 4 lanes.
So the drive is running at PCI-e3x4 (4000MB/s).
Installing 4 drives into the adapter and creating a raid 0 array would get the theoretical 16,000MB/s
It's a PCIe 4.0 drive. If you want 7000MB/s on a single drive you need a PCIe 4.0 slot.
Thanks for the great info. I am tech sup in an instution and we had bunch of these 5820 machines. By default it had 2 X SSD .We imaged win 10 enterprise to these machines. Couple of restart and shutdown during installation&updates we had encountered BSOD ( Blue Screen on Display) . The error is "Inaccessible boot device".
later , >F12>Recovery>Advanced options> Reset this PC solved the issue some time .We left the machines on thest and it happened again BSOD. We tried almost everything what was suggested in the forums, DELL's website etc..Do you happen to know this by chance?
Was the image created with Legacy or UEFI boot settings?
@@GreenPCGamerscom I'm having the same issue by the way. Weirdest thing; whenever I switch to a SATA SSD for the boot drive, it can eventually see my two NVME drives in the PCI-E adapters AND I can still access programs from them. However, when it comes to booting, I also encounter the "Inaccessible boot device" blue screen error.
I've ordered an official Del duo NVME Pci-e adapter, hopefully using Dell certified equipment might be the quickest fix rather than resorting to my third-party NVME pcie adapter.
Will these two pcie adaptors work in a dell 5810 pc??
yes
If I don’t have a backplane on my 5820, how can I verify that my PC is compatible for NVME?
If you don’t have the backplane you will have to use a pci-e slot card to install NVMe M.2 SSDs. All T5820’s support nvme in some form.
Why not show how to install an M.2 NVME drive to a M.2 backplane?
Support xeon e7????.
What model system do you have?
