Dell PERC H730 1GB Cache RAID Controller

The Dell PERC H730 is a PCIe 3.0 x8 plug-in card that provides hardware RAID for internal SATA 6Gb/s and SAS 12Gb/s drives. It includes 1GB of cache memory and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and JBOD across eight internal ports using two SFF-8643 connectors.

Suited for servers needing hardware RAID

This card suits administrators who want hardware-accelerated RAID 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 on up to eight SATA or SAS drives connected internally. It is not for systems that lack a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot or for builds that require external drive connectivity.

PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface requirement

The controller installs in a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot and presents eight internal SAS ports via two SFF-8643 connectors. Verify the server has a compatible slot and the correct mini-SAS HD cables before ordering.

Questions about this item

Which RAID level should I select for this PERC H730 card?

The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and JBOD; choose based on the redundancy and capacity balance your workload requires.

What does the 1 GB cache deliver in a live server?

The 1 GB cache accelerates write operations and read-ahead for the attached drives, improving throughput for database and virtualisation workloads.

How does the PCIe 3.0 x8 interface limit real-world speed?

The x8 host link provides up to eight lanes of PCIe 3.0 bandwidth, which sets the ceiling for combined data flow between the controller and the motherboard.
