The best you can do is give the PERC 6 a shot (or even any cheap "LSI 6Gbps SAS" card that has a battery on board), and eat the return shipping cost + restocking fee if it doesn't work. This might even still be a risk with a PERC 6 card in a 12th generation Dell server. the risk being that you buy a card, and the server won't use it when the BIOS doesn't "like it". Anything that isn't on the support matrix (which I can't spot at the moment) could be a risk. I wouldn't expect 3rd party cards to function/cooperate in a Dell server unless they're manufactured by LSI. If your system has a backplane with hot-swappable drive carriers (as opposed to cables directly connected to drives), then I'm uncertain what behavior to expect from the backplane when connected to a PERC 6.Īre there any inexpensive third-party raid controllers that would do the job at least well enough to write at 25 MBps (as opposed to the 1-3 MBps I'm getting with the H310)? Thankfully all SAS6 hard drives should be able to auto-negotiate down to 3Gbps speeds. The newer cards and drives use 6Gbps SAS links, while the PERC 6 only supports up to 3Gbps. I believe that the H310/H710 SAS-8087 connector is also SAS8087 on the backplane side. On the PERC 6, I believe a SAS-8484 (controller side) to SAS-8087 (backplane side) connection is used, or SAS-8484 to four SAS connections (if connecting direct to drives). The cabling connector difference you see is SAS-8484 vs SAS-8087. Do I just need to change the cable/harness, or are the technologies just fundamentally incompatible?
#Dell perc h200 vs h310 install
What would it take to install a PERC 6i in the Dell R420? I see right off the bat that the PERC 6i uses a different kind of connector than the H310 and H710p. In principle, yes a PERC 6i would almost certainly perform faster than an H310 given the fact that it has write caching support. In principle, would a Dell PERC 6i be faster than the Dell PERC H310? My understanding is that the H310 has no write-cache, and that the 6i has some.

#Dell perc h200 vs h310 upgrade
I would like to repurpose the Dell R420, and to that end, I'd like to upgrade the raid controller for as low a cost as possible. We have since bought a new server (for other reasons), and the new one has a nice Dell PERC H710p raid controller in it.
This is much too slow for the work the machine is expected to do (especially when writing). Due to events beyond my control, a Dell R420 server my (non-profit) organization relies on as an applications server was built using a Dell PERC H310 raid controller.
