Dell PowerEdge 12GB/s SAS RAID Controller

The Dell 0J7TNV is a PowerEdge Perc HBA330+ 12 Gb/s SAS RAID controller that equips your server with direct access to SATA or SAS storage at full bandwidth. It mounts in a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and presents each drive to the operating system individually, making it a practical choice for administrators who rely on software defined storage or JBOD configurations instead of traditional hardware RAID.

Two internal miniSAS SFF-8643 ports provide four lanes each, allowing as many as eight drives to connect through a single card while sustaining up to 12 Gb/s per lane. This throughput keeps pace with modern solid-state media and high capacity enterprise hard drives used in data-intensive workloads.

The controller arrives with IT mode firmware, so disks pass straight through to the host without abstraction. This design helps when building storage pools for virtualization clusters, backup repositories, or any scenario where the operating system needs unfiltered control over every drive.

Both full height and low profile brackets are included, ensuring a secure fit in standard rack servers as well as compact chassis. Installation involves seating the card, attaching the miniSAS cables, and powering on, making storage expansion straightforward even in busy data centers.

Whether you are adding local disks to a PowerEdge tower, building a lab server for testing, or deploying a remote office backup node, the Dell 0J7TNV offers the speed, flexibility, and simplicity required for reliable direct-attached storage.
