19 rows The Dell™ PERC (PowerEdge™ RAID Controller) family of enterprise-class controllers is. Dec 04, 2016 I'm looking at picking up an old Dell PowerEdge FS12-NV7 and it has two PERC 6/i's to give you the option of hooking up 12 drives to the machine. I know that this is a RAID controller but I don't want to run it in RAID.

As Storage demands expand and processing loads grow, it becomes increasingly more difficult for administrators to achieve maximum performance from their applications. The newest line of Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) cards offer unmatched I/O performance for database applications, streaming digital media environments and storage intensive applications.

Key Features for the Series-10, 12Gb/s SAS PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC):

PCI-Express Gen3.0 support & 12Gb/s SAS (SAS 3.0) host interface
8GB NV Flash Backed Cache on the H740P & H840*
Significantly increased IOPs performance & throughput performance capability
Capable of RAID as well as Non-RAID (JBOD Mode) operations

*See Product datasheets for full details
