DELL PERC H700 SAS RAID controller XXFVX

DELL PERC H700 SAS RAID controller

This is a refurbished Dell-IMSourcing PERC H700 SAS controller on a plug-in card. It connects through a PCI Express 2.0 x8 host interface and provides hardware RAID support. Two internal SAS ports allow direct attachment of compatible drives inside a server chassis.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Server administrators replacing a failed PERC H700 or adding a second identical controller for a homogeneous RAID environment will find this card fits the existing slot and cabling. Builders who need more than two internal ports or a newer PCIe generation should consider other options.

PCI Express 2.0 x8 host interface

The card plugs into a PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot, which determines both bandwidth and physical compatibility with the target server. Verify that the system has an available x8 or larger slot before purchasing.
