Dell-PERC H730 PowerEdge RAID Controller
The Dell PERC H730 is a high-performance hardware RAID controller designed for Dell PowerEdge servers. It provides reliable storage management, hardware-based RAID processing, cache-backed performance, and support for multiple RAID levels, making it suitable for enterprise storage, virtualization, databases, and business-critical server applications.
Description
The Dell PERC H730 is an enterprise-class PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) designed to provide advanced storage management and hardware RAID functionality for compatible Dell PowerEdge server platforms.
The controller features a dedicated RAID processing architecture and 1GB of NV cache, helping improve storage performance while providing protection for data being written to the storage subsystem. The H730 supports both SAS and SATA drives, allowing organizations to build flexible storage configurations using compatible hard disk drives and solid-state drives.
The PERC H730 supports multiple RAID configurations, including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, RAID 50, and RAID 60. This enables administrators to select the appropriate balance between performance, storage capacity, and fault tolerance for different workloads.
Designed for enterprise environments, the H730 supports hot-swappable drives, online capacity expansion, RAID migration, background initialization, patrol read, and other storage-management capabilities. It can therefore be used to maintain and manage large server storage arrays with minimal disruption.
The controller is particularly well suited to Dell PowerEdge servers used for virtualization, database hosting, file and application services, enterprise software, and other workloads requiring dependable storage performance and redundancy.
