Dell NCHRW PERC H800 512MB 6G SAS/ SATA Controller

The Dell NCHRW is a PERC H800 RAID controller that gives a Dell PowerEdge server access to external storage that is both fast and reliable. It fits into an x8 PCIe 2.0 slot and communicates with 6 Gb/s SAS or SATA drives through its external SAS interface. An onboard cache of 512 MB reduces latency and helps the system keep pace during heavy read or write activity, which is critical for databases, virtual machines, and backup tasks.

The card supports a broad range of advanced RAID levels, allowing administrators to balance performance and redundancy according to the needs of each workload. When paired with Dell MD storage enclosures, it lets a single server manage large pools of drives while maintaining data protection and high availability. Because the controller is engineered for enterprise chassis, it is not intended for standard desktop computers.

This model is an efficient option for expanding capacity in an existing PowerEdge, building a new storage array for a branch office, or refreshing older hardware that still needs dependable external storage connectivity. It combines straightforward installation with features that enterprise IT teams rely on to keep critical services online.
