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.
About this RAID controller
Dell PERC H710 hardware RAID controller, a PCIe 3.0 6Gb/s SAS card with 512MB or 1GB cache and RAID 0 to 60 support, refurbished. Tested and stocked in Doha, delivered across Qatar within a day.
The PERC H710 is Dell's mainstream hardware RAID controller of the 12th generation PowerEdge: a PCIe 3.0 card with a 6Gb/s SAS interface for SAS and SATA drives, 512MB or 1GB of battery backed cache depending on the variant, and support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The cache is what makes it a real RAID controller, absorbing writes and rebuilding parity without stalling the drives. It is refurbished.
Buyers in Qatar use the H710 to replace a failed controller in an R620 class server, to upgrade a server from a cacheless controller, or to complete a barebone chassis of that generation. ServerDove keeps it in Doha stock.

The H710 came in three physical forms, a standard PCIe adapter, a Mini Mono for the system board slot and a Mini Blade; the cache size varies by form, with 512MB on most and 1GB on the P variant. Its battery backed cache allows write-back caching, which gives RAID 5 and RAID 6 arrays good write performance; the battery must be healthy or the controller falls back to write-through and slows. It handles eight internal ports over two SAS connectors and works with 12Gb/s drives at 6Gb/s.
For buyers keeping 12th generation servers in service, the H710 is the controller that makes them worthwhile: RAID 6 across eight drives with a cache means a backup or file server built on an old chassis performs well, and the controller's foreign import feature lets a set of drives move to a replacement server with its data intact.
Installation
Power the server down and unplug it. Fit the card in a PCIe slot, or in the Mini Mono slot for that form, connect the two SAS cables from the backplane, and secure the bracket. On boot, enter the controller BIOS or iDRAC, update firmware with Dell's tools, and check the cache battery status before creating virtual disks. Foreign configurations from a previous server can be imported if the drives came with the card.
