Thanks for the clarification. It is something that you can try but it is not supported and there is no guarantee that the SSD will be detected and that it will work fine. Try this cable of P/N GP700 [IMAGE]
Okay so to clarify before anything. This server is NOT being used in a business environment. Its literally being used as a home Media Server (yes, way overkill I know but i got it for free so whos complaining). Im currently using a PowerEdge 2950 as my home media server, I have just picked up its upgrade, a R710 Gen 2 and I would like to use all 6 bays at the front for hard drives that I can put media onto rather than 1 for the os and then all the rest for media. How would I go about installing an internal hard drive, preferably an SSD, inside the R710. I know it has a spare SATA Data port but I cant seem to see any spare power cables or molex cables like there is in the 2950 Gen 3 that I have. If it is not possible, thats totally fine but I would like to have installed an internal drive. I know there is a USB port but I am using Windows Server 2012 R2 (Probably soon to be Server 2016) but i am unsure if Windows Server can be installed to the internal USB. If you need specs, or the service tag i can give you that information! Any Help would be appreciated. Thanks, Arron
