DELL - 0VCV6T - Dell PERC 11 H355i x8 PCI-e Full Height RAID Controller

The DELL 0VCV6T PERC 11 H355i is an internal hardware RAID controller designed for Dell server platforms, delivered as a full-height PCIe add-in card with an x8 interface. It helps centralise disk management and improve availability by offloading RAID functions from the host CPU, making it a practical choice for virtualisation hosts, file servers, and general-purpose data centre workloads.

This controller is typically deployed to build resilient internal storage sets using enterprise drives, whether you standardise on SSD for fast IOPS or HDD for cost-effective capacity. It’s also a common upgrade or replacement part when maintaining existing Dell fleets and extending lifecycle in production environments.
