    recommend ssd drives for old Dell T7500

    Great! Been exploring such an option after I wrote this , but am now WAY glad I sought some ideas here. Looks like I'll be using one of the pcie X8 slots which I'll make sure is wired for that. I get that sas ssd may be the way to go, but wasn't aware of sas/ssd. Sounds like fast and good! :)...

    Dell Poweredge R710
