Dear Friends,
We planned to buy one dell power edge server. In the quote of the server i seen this perc controller.
I don't know what is perc controller, and why it need to configure raid. Please share your knowledge guys.

Thanks,

Hi


Dell Servers often have a simple raid controller included and optional RAID controllers available

you have to give exact model of perc controller to know what it is capable of

I have not used one for years they were for SCSI Raid 5 with hot swap and hot spare

I expect modern ones support SAS + SATA drives
