Server 2019 not officially supported, but all components look good. Has 2 NVMe bays connected to the motherboard so you can run very fast u.2 ssds (optane 905) or m.2 ssds. Why do official "servers" not have this or charge obscene amounts for NVMe? EBay Dell 7820 Xeon gold Larry Solo IM Midwest

Windows 10 is getting close to End Of Life. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-10-home-and-pro JamesNT James Summerlin My personal site: http://www.dataintegrationsolutions.net james@dataintegrationsolutions.net
