A REFERENCE GUIDE FOR OPTIMIZING DELL™ SCSI SOLUTIONS
(SCSI) host adapter with RAID control capabilities. It provides reliable fault-tolerant disk
subsystem management and is an ideal RAID solution for internal storage in Dell's
PowerEdge enterprise systems. The RAID controller offers a cost-effective way to
implement RAID in a server.
Dell is currently offering its fourth generation of RAID controllers, the PERC 4e family,
supporting the industry standard Ultra320 SCSI storage interconnect. PERC 4e RAID
controllers support the PCI-Express host interconnects for maximum bandwidth
connectivity & expandability. The PERC 4e family of controllers includes the PERC 4e/SI
and PERC 4e/DI for RAID On Motherboard solutions and the PERC 4e/DC add-in HBA.
The following matrix describes the benefits of each solution.
Previous generations of PERC have included the PERC 2, PERC 3 and PERC 4 families.
The following PERC solutions support the PowerVault 220S and 221S External SCSI
Storage solution:

Speed
80 MB/s
160 MB/s
320 MB/s
SCSI Cabling
HBA and PERC controllers support a low-voltage differential (LVD) SCSI bus. LVD
enables cables up to 12 meters long. Throughput on each SCSI channel can be as high
as 320 MB/sec.
