31 PowerEdge R730 and R730xd Technical GuideThe base RAID controller in the R730 and R730xd is the miniPERC, which provides a base RAIDhardware controller without consuming a PCIe slot by using a small form factor and high-densityconnector to the base planar. The secondary RAID controller is limited to the H730P low-profilePCIe controller. In two-controller systems, both controllers must be the H730P.The R730 and R730xd support the PERC cards listed in Table 16. For more information about thelatest PERC offerings, see Dell.com/PERC.Table 16.
