Dell PERC H740P Description
The Dell PERC H740P 12Gb/s RAID Controller Card is designed to deliver enterprise-grade storage performance and protection for Dell PowerEdge servers such as R740, R740xd, R640, and R6515 series. It enables administrators to build highly reliable RAID arrays using SAS or SATA drives while improving both read/write speed and system redundancy.
With support for hardware RAID acceleration, the H740P offloads storage processing from the CPU, resulting in improved overall system performance. Its 8GB cache memory significantly enhances data throughput, especially in database operations, virtualization environments, and high-I/O workloads.
The controller supports advanced RAID features such as online capacity expansion, RAID level migration, hot-spare configuration, and cache protection, ensuring maximum uptime and data integrity in enterprise environments.
Its dual Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8643) connectors allow flexible drive connectivity, typically supporting up to 8 internal drives directly, with expansion possible through compatible backplanes and enclosures.
