I want to confirm as to how NVME RAID will work. NVME is attached via PCIe (directly to the CPU). This means a hardware RAID card is being bypassed and therefore not necessary (I suppose it could be used for an OS drive?). So is software based NVME RAID the only possibility? I don't see an AMD equivalent for VROC.
Specifically, I chatted with Dell about the PowerEdge 7415. Apparently there is some discrepancy on how many NVME drives are supported (configuration tool says 12; product page says 24). The support person said they'd email me back with an answer. Realistically, 24x NVME (x4) seems a stretch, but 24x NVME (x2) is more than possible.
