Enterprise RAID Controllers
Dell PERC, HP Smart Array, and Broadcom MegaRAID controllers for server storage
About RAID Controllers
Protect your server data with enterprise RAID controllers from Dell, HPE, and Broadcom/LSI. RAID controllers manage your drive arrays, providing redundancy, performance, and data protection that software RAID cannot match.
We stock controllers for every major server platform — from entry-level HBA mode cards to high-performance RAID controllers with battery-backed cache.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between RAID controller and HBA?
A RAID controller manages drive arrays with hardware-accelerated parity calculations and battery-backed cache for write protection. An HBA (Host Bus Adapter) passes drives directly to the OS without RAID processing — used with software RAID like ZFS. Use a RAID controller for Windows/VMware and an HBA for ZFS/TrueNAS.
Do I need a battery or capacitor for my RAID controller?
Yes, if you use write-back caching (which dramatically improves write performance). The battery/capacitor protects cached writes during a power failure. Without it, the controller falls back to write-through mode which is slower but safe.
Can I use a Dell PERC controller in an HP server?
Generally no. Dell PERC controllers use Dell-specific firmware and connector pinouts. HP Smart Array controllers are similarly HP-specific. For cross-platform compatibility, use Broadcom/LSI MegaRAID or HBA controllers which work in any server with standard PCIe slots.
