Dell PERC H740P 8GB NV Cache LSI SAS3508 PCIe RAID Controller Card – 01M71J 1M71J

The Dell PERC H740P is a high-performance enterprise hardware RAID controller designed for Dell PowerEdge server storage environments. Part of Dell's PERC 10 controller family, it features the LSI SAS3508 controller chipset and 8GB of DDR4 non-volatile cache memory for efficient storage operations and data protection.

Featuring PCIe 3.1 x8 host connectivity, the H740P supports 12Gb/s SAS and 6Gb/s SATA storage devices. Its two internal Mini-SAS HD SFF-8643 connectors provide connectivity to compatible server backplanes and internal storage configurations. The controller supports multiple hardware RAID levels, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60.

Designed for enterprise applications, virtualization environments, and data center storage systems, the Dell PERC H740P provides flexible RAID configuration, high-speed storage connectivity, and non-volatile cache protection.

Dell PowerEdge Server Compatibility

The PERC H740P is designed for compatible Dell PowerEdge server configurations. Published product references identify the following server models:

14th Generation PowerEdge Servers:

• Dell PowerEdge R440

• Dell PowerEdge R540

• Dell PowerEdge R640

• Dell PowerEdge R740

• Dell PowerEdge R740xd

• Dell PowerEdge R7425

• Dell PowerEdge R840

• Dell PowerEdge R940

• Dell PowerEdge T440

• Dell PowerEdge T640

Additional server references:

• Dell PowerEdge R730

• Dell PowerEdge R730xd

• Dell PowerEdge R730XL

• Dell PowerEdge T630

Compatibility with additional server generations and configurations must be confirmed before installation. The R730, R730xd, R730XL, and T630 references are reseller-listed compatibility claims and should not be treated as universal Dell-certified compatibility for every H740P configuration.

Important Compatibility Information

• Requires a compatible Dell PowerEdge system, PCIe slot, and supported storage configuration.

• Server backplane and internal SAS cabling must match the controller connectors.

• Low-profile and full-height bracket versions are configuration-dependent.

• Cache protection hardware and associated accessories must be verified separately.

• NVMe storage is not directly supported through the SAS/SATA controller interface.

• Check the server's system configuration and firmware requirements before installation.

Applications

• Enterprise server storage

• Data center storage environments

• Hardware RAID configurations

• Virtualization and database servers

• SAS and SATA drive arrays

• Enterprise HDD and SSD storage systems

Note: This is a SAS/SATA hardware RAID controller, not an NVMe RAID controller. Bracket, cables, battery, cache protection accessories, and other hardware are included only if specifically shown in the product photos or stated in the listing.
