Dell PERC H330 User Manual
Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller H330
Eight-port 12Gbps PCI Express RAID controller supporting 3Gbps, 6Gbps and 12Gbps
SAS, and 3Gbps and 6Gb/s SATA hard-disk or solid-state drives.
Small to medium business owners can enjoy the
latest RAID technology at aordable prices and low
power consumption with the Dell PowerEdge RAID
Controller (PERC) H330. Ideal for le, web, database
and email servers, the PERC H330 delivers trusted
Dell PERC reliability with minimal maintenance eort.
The PERC H330 entry-level controller card oers a
straightforward solution that includes essential
RAID levels and support for non-RAID (passthrough) conguration options. In addition, the
card connects to SATA and SAS hard disk drives,
and solid state drives, allowing for tiered storage
that optimizes cost and performance. Physical disk
power management (Dimmer Switch™) technology
provides additional cost savings by managing power
consumption for idle, uncongured and congured
drives. Dell’s entry-level RAID controllers cover
the spectrum of tiered storage requirements for
cost-sensitive applications that require robust data
protection.
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 signicant 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 congure, 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.
Benets include:
• iDRAC automatically creates and executes jobs for
each storage conguration 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.
iDRAC incorporates Dell OpenManage Storage
Services to provide the tools to eciently
manage PERC products, including a pre-boot
setup utility and a full spectrum of online RAID
management utilities. This suite of applications
allows administrators to adjust SAS or SATA topology
views from the system host down to the logical
and physical drive level. Extending to enterprise
deployments, these tools can scale to easily
congure, monitor and manage RAID and JBOD
volumes locally or over the LAN network.
