About This Product
Overview
The Dell PERC H710 RAID Controller is built for Dell PowerEdge environments that need dependable hardware-based storage management. As a PCIe 3.0 RAID controller with a 6Gb/s SAS interface, it is designed to work with both SAS and SATA drives, giving system builders and IT teams flexibility when configuring server storage. The controller is intended for use in compatible Dell PowerEdge servers and provides support for a range of RAID levels, making it suitable for common storage layouts used in business servers. With its hardware RAID design, the PERC H710 helps offload RAID processing from the host system, which can be beneficial in server setups where storage organization and controller-level management are important. The available cache options of 512MB or 1GB add another layer of configuration choice depending on the system design and workload requirements.
Performance & Scalability
For server storage environments, the Dell PERC H710 offers a practical balance of compatibility and RAID functionality. Its PCIe 3.0 connection and 6Gb/s SAS interface provide the foundation for managing multiple drives in a controlled and organized way, while support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 gives administrators options for different performance and redundancy goals. This makes it useful in systems where storage needs may vary from simple mirrored volumes to more complex arrays. Because it supports both SAS and SATA drives, the controller can be used in mixed-drive environments where flexibility is needed during upgrades or replacements. The hardware RAID architecture is especially valuable in server deployments that benefit from dedicated storage control rather than relying on software-based RAID alone.
Storage Flexibility
The PERC H710 is designed to support a variety of storage configurations, which can be helpful when building or maintaining Dell PowerEdge servers. Its compatibility with SAS and SATA drives allows IT teams to choose drive types based on capacity, performance, or existing infrastructure. The controller’s RAID level support also gives users the ability to match the array design to the needs of the server, whether the goal is redundancy, capacity, or a combination of both. With cache options available in 512MB and 1GB versions, the controller can fit different system requirements without changing the overall storage platform. This flexibility makes it a useful option for organizations that want a controller that can adapt to different server storage layouts.
Why Choose This Product?
The Dell PERC H710 RAID Controller is a straightforward choice for Dell PowerEdge systems that require a dedicated RAID solution with broad drive and RAID support. It offers the essential features needed for organized server storage, including hardware RAID processing, SAS and SATA compatibility, and multiple RAID levels for different deployment goals. For IT environments that already use Dell PowerEdge servers, this controller provides a compatible storage expansion and management option that fits within the existing platform. Its PCIe 3.0 interface and 6Gb/s SAS support make it a practical component for server builds, replacements, or upgrades where reliable RAID functionality is required.

Why Buy a Refurbished Products?
Refurbished enterprise servers offer enterprise-grade performance at a fraction of the new price.
Up to 70% Cost Savings
Refurbished R650xs units deliver identical hardware capability to new, at significantly lower upfront cost — freeing budget for CPUs, RAM, and storage.
Fully Tested & Verified
Every unit undergoes comprehensive hardware diagnostics before dispatch. POST tests, burn-in, memory checks, and power supply verification are standard.
Immediate Availability
Unlike new enterprise servers with lead times of weeks or months, refurbished stock is ready to ship within 24 hours of ordering.
Same Performance
The hardware inside the R650xs performs identically whether purchased new or refurbished. The 3rd Gen Xeon platform, PCIe Gen4, and iDRAC9 are unchanged.
