About This Product
Overview
The Dell PERC H740P 8GB NV Cache 12Gb/s SAS RAID Controller is an enterprise storage controller built for Dell PowerEdge 14G servers. Designed as a genuine Dell OEM component, it provides hardware RAID management for SAS and SATA storage environments while supporting both HDD and SSD configurations. With its 8GB DDR4 non-volatile cache and internal SAS architecture, this controller is intended to help organize server storage efficiently in compatible Dell systems such as the R640, R6415, R740, R740xd, R7515, and T640. It is a practical choice for IT teams looking to maintain or expand storage capabilities within supported PowerEdge platforms.
Performance & Scalability
Built on the Dell PERC Series 10 platform, the H740P supports a wide range of RAID levels including 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, giving administrators flexibility to match performance, redundancy, and capacity requirements. The 12Gb/s SAS interface and PCIe 3.1 connection provide a solid foundation for enterprise storage workloads, while support for write back and write through cache modes helps adapt the controller to different operational needs. Read ahead cache support, flash backed cache protection, and hot spare support further contribute to a storage setup that can be managed with reliability in mind. Online capacity expansion support also makes it easier to grow storage without redesigning the entire system, which is valuable in environments where uptime and scalability matter.
Storage Flexibility
This RAID controller supports both SAS and SATA hard drives and solid state drives, making it suitable for mixed storage deployments in Dell PowerEdge servers. That flexibility allows administrators to build arrays around performance-focused SSDs, high-capacity HDDs, or a combination of both depending on workload requirements. Non-RAID drive support adds another layer of versatility for configurations that need direct drive access. With dedicated and global hot spare support, the controller is also designed to help maintain array availability when drive replacement or recovery is needed. These features make the H740P a useful option for server storage environments that need adaptable drive support without sacrificing enterprise RAID functionality.
Why Choose This Product?
The Dell PERC H740P is a strong fit for organizations that need a dependable RAID controller for supported PowerEdge 14G servers. Its combination of 8GB NV cache, broad RAID support, and compatibility with multiple Dell server models makes it a versatile replacement or upgrade part for enterprise systems. As a genuine Dell OEM controller, it is designed to integrate with the intended hardware platform, helping simplify deployment in compatible environments. For IT buyers seeking a tested Dell storage controller with established compatibility and practical RAID features, the H740P offers a balanced mix of performance, flexibility, and server-focused design.
About this RAID controller
Dell PERC H740P RAID controller with 8GB non-volatile cache and 12Gb/s SAS, Dell parts 0878M, 57V8G, 4R84R and 05FMY4, for 14th generation PowerEdge servers. Tested and stocked in Doha, delivered across Qatar within a day.
The PERC H740P is the top RAID controller of Dell's 14th generation PowerEdge servers, a PERC Series 10 card with 8GB of DDR4 non-volatile cache, a 12Gb/s SAS interface with 6Gb/s SATA support and a PCIe 3.1 host interface, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dell supplied it under several part numbers, 0878M, 57V8G, 4R84R and 05FMY4, and it is named for the R640, R6415, R740, R740xd, R7515 and T640. It is a genuine Dell OEM controller, refurbished.
Buyers in Qatar fit the H740P to a barebone or to a server that arrived with the cacheless entry controller or the smaller cached one, gaining the large flash backed cache that makes RAID 5 and RAID 6 fast on both SSDs and hard drives. ServerDove keeps it in Doha stock alongside its R640 and R740 servers.

Eight gigabytes of cache is far more than earlier PERC cards carried, and it is non-volatile: on power loss the contents are written to flash on the card, protected by a small battery, so write-back caching is safe. Non-RAID drive support lets individual disks pass through to the operating system for software defined storage alongside RAID virtual disks on the same card. The controller drives sixteen bays through its two connectors and handles NVMe front bays on servers wired for them.

Installation
Power the server down and unplug it. The H740P fits either the dedicated storage slot or a PCIe slot depending on its form; seat it, connect the backplane SAS cables to its two ports and secure the bracket. Boot into the BIOS or iDRAC, update the controller firmware with Dell's tools, confirm the cache battery reports healthy, and create the virtual disks. A foreign configuration from drives that came with the card can be imported.
