PowerEdge RAID Controller H330 technical specifications

12Gbps SAS performance advantage 12Gbps SAS is designed for backward compatibility

with 6Gbps SAS and 6Gbps SATA hard drives.Regardless of drive speed, 12Gbps PowerEdge RAID controllers deliver significant performance improvements in both read and write applications compared to their 6Gbps predecessors.

Intuitive RAID management

Managing the PERC H330 is easy using the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller. Without having to deploy an agent, IT admins can configure, deploy, update and monitor the PERC H330 via the GUI or through Dell’s CLI (known as RACADM). Additionally, Dell’s one-to-many OpenManage™ Essentials console allows a user to perform storage operations across multiple servers, including RAID controllers as well as physical disks in the PowerEdge system and external enclosures.

Benefits include

• iDRAC automatically creates and executes jobs for each storage configuration operation

• Customer can reboot the host OS automatically or schedule reboot for a later date.

• PERC H330 supports real-time RAID monitoring and hardware inventory.
