Good video! I just put together a T5820 that was bought on an auction site. I outfitted it with 4 x 480GB 2.5 SSDs, 1 PCI-E M.2 NVME (using a Dell branded adapter) and a 8TB spinning rust in the CD ROM/Flexbay using a Dell branded adapter to 3.5. It is running Ubuntu LTS 22.04 and has three Windows VMs. I found out that the Intel RST RAID does not work with Linux, but ended up using Linux Raid, which worked fine. Just my experience with this machine.
I think you forgot to mention to activate the button in the Front First you have to Unlock it from the inside by removing the side panel and clicking on the blue unlock button at the top
Hello Sir. Need some help. please assist. I have 2 T5820 towers. one xeon 2235 and 10900x. Only front Nvme drive works on both. Other 3 drive bays doesn't recognize 2.5 inch hard disk. Any idea? Many thanks
My 5820 did not come with nvme flex caddy. Can i just buy the nvme caddy and plug it into any of the 4 bays or does it need to be in a specific slot as well as needing a special back plane you mentioned ?
