DELL 405-AAMX PERC H740P RAID Controller 12Gb/s SAS 8GB cache

Dell PERC H740P 12Gb/s SAS RAID Card

The Dell PERC H740P is a 12Gb/s SAS RAID controller designed for server storage management. It connects through a PCI Express 3.1 x8 host interface and provides 8GB of cache memory to accelerate read and write operations. The card supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 for flexible data protection and performance configurations.

Administrators needing internal SAS connectivity

This controller suits administrators who require eight internal SAS ports using two SFF-8643 connectors for direct-attached storage arrays. The 8GB cache and broad RAID level support fit database, virtualisation, and general-purpose server workloads. Builders requiring external ports, a different host interface width, or a different connector type should look at other models.

8GB cache memory capacity

The 8GB cache memory is the specification that most directly influences sustained write throughput and rebuild performance on this card. It works with the 12Gb/s SAS interface and eight internal ports to determine the maximum effective bandwidth available to the attached drives. Verify that the server platform accepts a PCI Express 3.1 x8 plug-in card before purchase.
