Dell PERC H730 1GB NV Cache RAID Controller — V9W58

The PERC H730 is a RAID controller with 1GB of non-volatile cache, sold under Dell part number V9W58.

Drives connect through the server’s backplane, so the controller has to suit the backplane it is cabled to. Disk and array health show up in the server’s hardware management logs. Look-alike parts can differ in revision, and the Dell part number is what tells them apart. With RAID handled on the card, the host sees plain volumes and spends no processor time on parity. Because the cache is non-volatile, cached writes are designed to survive a power cut, so write-back mode can stay on. Virtual disks are built in the controller’s set-up utility at boot, or from management tools once the operating system is running. As a Dell PERC it is intended for PowerEdge servers; check your server’s supported controller list. Matching the Dell part number V9W58 against your system's parts list is the surest way to confirm the controller fits.

As a certified refurbished part, it is inspected, bench-tested and function-checked by our Johannesburg team before release.
