Dell PERC H330 Full-Height PCIe RAID Controller — 4Y5H1

This PERC H330 is a full height RAID controller, identified by Dell part number 4Y5H1.

When replacing a controller, check firmware levels first; a controller of the same family can usually pick up the existing array from the drives. Set-up happens in the controller’s pre-boot utility, and arrays can be managed later from the operating system. As a Dell PERC it is intended for PowerEdge servers; check your server’s supported controller list. This is the full-height PCIe card version of the controller. A hardware RAID controller handles striping, mirroring and parity itself, so the operating system sees simple volumes. Look-alike parts can differ in revision, and the Dell part number is what tells them apart. Controller and disk health can be monitored from the server’s management console. The controller must match the backplane it connects to, as the backplane decides which drives it can see. Check 4Y5H1 against the service configuration of your Dell system before ordering.

Sold as certified refurbished, the part passes inspection and a bench test in Johannesburg before release.
