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 affordable prices and low power consumption with the Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) H330. Ideal for file, web, database and email servers, the PERC H330 delivers trusted Dell PERC reliability with minimal maintenance effort.

The PERC H330 entry-level controller card offers a straightforward solution that includes essential RAID levels and support for non-RAID (passthrough) configuration 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, unconfigured and configured drives. Dell’s entry-level RAID controllers cover

the spectrum of tiered storage requirements for cost-sensitive applications that require robust data protection.

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.

iDRAC incorporates Dell OpenManage Storage Services to provide the tools to efficiently 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 configure, monitor and manage RAID and JBOD volumes locally or over the LAN network.

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 OpenManageEssentials 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.
