Hello everyone,
I have a Dell PowerEdge R730xd. Installed an HBA330 and two SATA drives for the boot pool. TruNAS installed without a problem.
However, I have 12 NVMe drives for the main storage pool in front slots 2-13 and iDrac, TruNas, etc do not see the drives.
Unsure if I have a setting incorrect, need to buy more hardware, etc.
I searched the forum and saw R730xd / NVMe drives come up, but these are in 2.5" format and loaded into the front slots, so I am not sure the recommended PCIe card solution would work.
More relevant info:
TruNAS Version: TrueNAS-13.0-U4
Server: PowerEdge R730xd
BIOS Version: 2.16.0
Firmware Version: 2.84.84.84
Controller: Dell HBA330 Mini (Embedded)
Firmware: 16.17.01.00
Boot drives: 256GB SATA SSD x 2 (slot 0, 1)
Storage drives: 4 TB WD Ultrastar DC SN630 NVMe SSD x 12 (slot 2-13)
I can provide screenshots or any other information required.
Thank you for your help!

- All NVMe drives' status lights just keep flashing in unison on the server
- iDrac doesn't show the bays as containing drives or as empty, just skips over those bay #s when looking at storage section
- Booting into HBA util doesn't see NVMe drives
- HBA seems to be in IT mode
- I updated Dell firmware, reseated drives, all the normal baseline stuff
