Dell PERC H710P RAID controller for SAS arrays
This full-height PCIe 2.0 x8 card adds hardware RAID with 1 GB of non-volatile cache to Dell PowerEdge servers. It manages SAS drives at 6 Gb/s for databases, virtualisation hosts or backup targets that need protected write performance.
1 GB non-volatile cache preserves writes during
The onboard cache acknowledges write I/O before data reaches the drives, cutting latency for transactional workloads. Buyers who need more cache capacity or flash-backed options must select a different controller.

Questions about this item
Will the 1 GB NV cache on the PERC H710P controller require a battery replacement?
The 1 GB NV cache uses non-volatile memory that retains data without a battery, so no battery replacement is needed for cache protection.
At sustained loads, does the PCIe 2.0 x8 interface limit the PERC H710P before the 6 Gb/s SAS links do?
Yes, the PCIe 2.0 x8 link caps throughput at about 4 GB/s, which is lower than the combined 6 Gb/s SAS bandwidth, so the host bus becomes the first bottleneck.
