What RAID options are available with the H330 controller?
The Dell H330 RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, and 50, allowing you to configure the eight drives for performance, redundancy, or a balance of both.
Does this server have redundant power supplies?
Yes, it comes with two 750W redundant power supplies, so if one fails the server continues operating without interruption.
