27 PowerEdge R620 Technical GuideTable 16 lists the R620 backplane options for supported Dell PERC cards.Table 16. Hard-drive backplane optionsBackplane options Controller Drive types4 x 2.5”1 PERC S110, H310, H710, H710P SATA HDD/SSDSAS HDD/SSD8 x 2.5"1 PERC H310, H710, H710P SATA HDD/SSDSAS HDD/SSD10 x 2.5"2 PERC H310, H710, H710P SATA HDD/SSDSAS HDD/SSD4 x 2.5” + 2 PCIe SSDs3 PCIe SSD interface card + PERC H310, H710, H710P Express Flash PCIe SSD1Mini-type and adapter-type PERC available; adapter-type is available with the two-PCIe slot chassis and required whenconfiguring internal GPU or 3/4 length PCIe card.210-drive bay chassis supports only the mini-type PERC.3Express Flash PCIe SSD configurations support only the mini-type PERC.CacheCadeCacheCade provides automated storage tiering on SSDs with the PERC H810 and H710P. It works bydetecting the most often accessed data and copying it over time to the CacheCade SSD(s) wherethat cached data is accessed directly, instead of accessing the hard disk drives. This can dramaticallyincrease how your applications respond when they are under peak traffic times and how theyperform when response time is critical.CacheCade provides cost-effective performance scaling for database-type applications thatperform lots of random reads, and saves the cost of adding extra drives.Optical driveThe R620 supports one ultra-slim, 9.5mm, internal optical drive (4-, 6-, or 8-drive bay options) onthe system board embedded SATA. The R620 10-drive bay chassis, however, does not support aninternal optical drive due to space limitation; an external USB optical drive is an option for the10-drive bay chassis. The R620 supports DVD-ROM and DVD+/-RW. An optical drive cable isincluded.Tape driveThe R620 supports an external tape drive only through the SAS 6Gbps HBA. The R620 does notsupport internal tape drives.
