Chaps,
I need some assistance with adding more storage to s Dell Precision 5820 that I have. I used to be very IT savvy, but have recently fallen behind on the latest tech.
The machine I have has the following installed:
414-BBBT : Dell Ultra-Speed Drive Duo PC Ie SSD x8 Card,
403-BBRH : 1 x SATA/SAS HDD install in Fl ex bay with LSI controller, su pport 4pcs HDD
403-BBQV : MegaRAID SAS 9440-8i 12Gb/s PC Ie SATA/SAS controller - SW RA ID 0, 1,5,10
401-ABJS : M.2 256GB PCIe NVMe Class 40 Solid State Drive
400-AGXX : Internal PCIe SSD (Dell Ultra- Speed Drive)
Firstly, the 256GB that it currently has installed is too small. I'm hoping that it won't be too difficult to clone and replace that drive with a 1TD SSD.
However, I then want to add something like 2 x 1tb SSD's and then perhaps a couple of 4tb hard drives.
I'm unsure how best to do this (I don't really want/need RAID). How relevant are the "414-BBBT : Dell Ultra-Speed Drive Duo PC Ie SSD x8 Card," and "403-BBQV : MegaRAID SAS 9440-8i 12Gb/s PC Ie SATA/SAS controller - SW RA ID 0, 1,5,10" and "400-AGXX : Internal PCIe SSD (Dell Ultra- Speed Drive)" and what do they do?
I may need help with how to install my new proposed drives and also if someone could guide me through the possible drive configurations open to me, I would be most grateful.
