Description
RAID Support and Options
The Dell 07H4CN Perc H730p 8 Channel PCI-Express 3.0 SAS 12GBPS SATA 6GBPS Raid Controller supports the following RAID options:
- RAID 0 (Striping) – Data is split across multiple drives for increased performance.
- RAID 1 (Mirroring) – Data is mirrored across multiple drives for increased data protection.
- RAID 5 (Striping with Parity) – Data is striped across multiple drives with a parity drive for increased performance and data protection.
- RAID 6 (Double Parity) – Data is striped across multiple drives with double parity for increased data protection.
- RAID 10 (Mirrored Striping) – Data is mirrored and striped across multiple drives for increased performance and data protection.
- RAID 50 (Striped RAID 5 Sets) – Data is striped across multiple RAID 5 sets for increased performance and data protection.
- RAID 60 (Striped RAID 6 Sets) – Data is striped across multiple RAID 6 sets for increased performance and data protection.
The controller also supports Non-RAID and JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) options for using the connected drives as individual disks without any RAID configuration. Additionally, the controller also supports RAID 1E (RAID 1 Enhanced), RAID 5E (RAID 5 Enhanced) and RAID 5EE (RAID 5 Enhanced with Expanded Capacity) options.
Connectivity and Compatibility for PCI-Express Controller
The Dell 07H4CN Perc H730p 8 Channel PCI-Express 3.0 SAS 12GBPS SATA 6GBPS Raid Controller is compatible with a wide range of Dell servers and workstations that have a PCI-Express 3.0 slot available. It can connect to up to 8 SAS or SATA hard drives, and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60.
In terms of connectivity, the controller has two SFF-8643 connectors for connecting to SAS/SATA hard drives, and one mini-SAS HD connector for connecting to an external SAS expander. It also has a mini-USB connector for connecting to a USB key for firmware updates.
The controller also supports features such as Online Capacity Expansion, Global and Dedicated Hot Spare, Automatic Data Recovery, and Automatic RAID Level Migration, which helps to enhance the performance and data protection of the connected drives.
Additionally, it supports the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator, which allows for easy management and monitoring of the controller and connected drives.
