Dell PERC H730 1GB NV Cache Full-Height PCIe RAID Controller — 44GNF

The PERC H730 is a full height RAID controller with 1GB of non-volatile cache, sold under Dell part number 44GNF.

A hardware RAID controller handles striping, mirroring and parity itself, so the operating system sees simple volumes. Because the cache is non-volatile, cached writes are designed to survive a power cut, so write-back mode can stay on. It is the full-height PCIe card form of the controller. As a Dell PERC it is intended for PowerEdge servers; check your server’s supported controller list. Virtual disks are built in the controller’s set-up utility at boot, or from management tools once the operating system is running. Controllers of the same family can usually take over an existing array from its drives, but check firmware levels before swapping one for another. Matching the Dell part number 44GNF against your system's parts list is the surest way to confirm the controller fits.

It is supplied certified refurbished: inspected, bench-tested and function-checked in Johannesburg before release.
