For retrofitting the R440 to support NVMe drives, it's advisable to refer to the user manual for accurate cabling instructions. A PCIe extender card may be necessary if utilizing the SAS drive slots, and ensure that the SAS cables are of adequate length to connect to the HBA card. [community thread]
The PCI1318 error on a T440 server may indicate an issue with the Broadcom network interface cards when using kernel versions greater than 6.5. Disabling these network cards in the system BIOS can allow the server to boot without errors. Alternatively, replacing the network card with a compatible one can also resolve the issue.

To identify the failed drive, collect a Technical Support Report (TSR) that includes storage logs, which can provide insights into the drive's status. If the drive rebuild process is unsuccessful, you can replace the drive by following the hot-swapping procedure, ensuring to verify the correct drive using the server management interface.

Ensure that the server's BIOS, iDrac, and H730 RAID controller firmware are all updated to the latest versions, as outdated components may interfere with the SSD firmware update process. If the issue persists, consider reaching out to support for further assistance. [community thread]
You have two main options for adding the new SATA hard disk: integrate it into the existing RAID-1 array or create a new virtual disk. If you choose to add it to the RAID-1, you will need to bring the disk online and consider converting to RAID-5 or RAID-10, as RAID-1 requires an even number of disks. Alternatively, you can keep the existing RAID-1 intact and set up the new disk as a separate virtual disk for additional storage. [community thread]
