Dell PERC H730P 2GB NV Cache 12Gb/s SAS RAID Controller Card (98MV9)

The Dell PowerEdge PERC H730P 12Gb/s SAS / 6Gb/s SATA PCIe 3.0 8-Port Hardware RAID Controller (Dell Part Numbers: 98MV9 / 098MV9 / Cross-Reference Part: 71C2D / Option Part: 405-AAEF) is an enterprise-class storage controller engineered to optimize data throughput, guard against drive failures, and accelerate storage operations across Dell PowerEdge server platforms. Powered by the high-performance LSI SAS3108 dual-core ROC (RAID on Chip) processor and equipped with 2GB of NVRAM non-volatile cache memory, this controller card delivers reliable, low-latency performance for demanding data center workloads.

Operating over a high-bandwidth PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface, the PERC H730P Adapter supports hardware RAID configurations (RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60) across up to 32 physical SAS or SATA hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs). Its 2GB non-volatile flash-backed cache module actively buffers write requests, while integrated flash protection safeguards unwritten cache contents during server power outages without requiring battery replacement cycles.

Available from DataDive, your trusted Server Parts Distributor in Qatar, this high-performance PERC H730P RAID adapter is available in our Server components collection, ideal for upgrading storage controller throughput, replacing faulty RAID cards, setting up redundant storage volumes, and boosting I/O performance across Dell PowerEdge 13th and 14th Generation rack and tower servers.
