DELL - 29X6T - Dell PERC H710P 6Gb/s SAS 1GB PCI-E

Overview

The DELL 29X6T (Dell PERC H710P) is a PCIe RAID controller designed to add dependable 6Gb/s SAS storage connectivity and hardware RAID acceleration to compatible Dell PowerEdge servers. With 1GB cache, it helps improve I/O consistency and supports data-protection-focused configurations for virtualisation hosts, database workloads, and general-purpose file/application servers.

For broader platform planning, you can align this controller with other Dell infrastructure components such as SYSTEM BOARD options, or compare storage connectivity approaches using HBA models when RAID offload is not required. If you are standardising across Dell parts and generations, explore additional refurbished DELL hardware categories for lifecycle extension and spares planning.

Key Features

Key technical characteristics of the Dell PERC H710P 29X6T for enterprise server storage deployments:

• 6Gb/s SAS interface support to connect Dell server backplanes and SAS drive shelves with proven enterprise signalling.
• 1GB on-board cache to help smooth bursty write activity and improve responsiveness under mixed workloads.
• PCI Express host interface to integrate as an internal add-in controller in supported PowerEdge platforms.
• Hardware RAID capability to offload parity and array management from the CPU for efficient storage processing.
• Support for common RAID levels to balance capacity, performance, and redundancy according to workload needs.
• Compatibility with SAS HDDs and many SAS/SATA drive scenarios (platform-dependent) to reuse existing media during upgrades.
• Designed for 24/7 server operation to support continuous services in data center and edge server rooms.
• Ideal for rebuilds and maintenance stock to keep older Dell server generations operational with consistent parts.

Refurbished Quality and Warranty

This unit is refurbished hardware, cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects. Refurbished controllers are a practical choice for extending the lifecycle of installed server environments, maintaining configuration consistency, and reducing electronic waste while controlling budget compared to buying new.

All refurbished hardware from Direct Hardware Supply includes a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (batteries, tape drives and tape libraries include a three-month warranty). Extended warranty options are available on request, and we ship worldwide from Denmark for fast B2B fulfilment.
