The Dell PERC 11 HBA350 MX 12Gb SAS Non-RAID Controller is designed for the PowerEdge MX infrastructure, offering non-RAID SAS/SATA connectivity for modular storage environments. Supporting PCI-e 4.0 and 1×8 external SAS, it ensures streamlined high-speed access to connected storage sleds. With support for up to 8 drives (platform limited), the HBA350 MX delivers reliable pass-through storage functionality without the complexity of RAID. Its ideal for clustered or modular configurations requiring flexible direct-attached storage within Dell MX environments. The Dell HBA350i SAS 12Gb Adapter FH is a high-speed internal host bus adapter designed for enterprise environments requiring reliable SAS/SATA connectivity without RAID overhead. With support for PCI-e 4.0 and dual 2×8 internal connectors, it ensures fast and efficient data transfer. Capable of managing up to 16 drives directly or up to 50 with a SAS expander, the HBA350i provides flexible, non-RAID storage scalability. Its ideal for businesses seeking high-performance internal storage infrastructure with maximum throughput and simplified architecture.Summary of RAID levelsSummary of RAID levels Following is a list of the RAID levels supported by the PERC 12 series of cards:

• RAID 0

  Uses disk striping to provide high data throughput, especially for large files in an environment that requires no data redundancy.

• RAID 1

  Uses disk mirroring so that data written to one physical disk is simultaneously written to another physical disk. RAID 1 is good for small databases or other applications that require small capacity and complete data redundancy.

• RAID 5

  Uses disk striping and parity data across all physical disks (distributed parity) to provide high data throughput and data redundancy, especially for small random access.

• RAID 6

  Is an extension of RAID 5 and uses an additional parity block. RAID 6 uses block-level striping with two parity blocks distributed across all member disks. RAID 6 provides protection against double disk failures, and failures while a single disk is rebuilding. If you are using only one array, deploying RAID 6 is more effective than deploying a hot spare disk.

• RAID 10

  Is a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 1, uses disk striping across mirrored disks. It provides high data throughput and complete data redundancy.

• RAID 50

  Is a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 5 where a RAID 0 array is striped across RAID 5 elements. RAID 50 requires at least six disks.

• RAID 60

  Is a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 6 where a RAID 0 array is striped across RAID 6 elements. RAID 60 requires at least eight disks.
