The Dell PERC H330 Mini Mono RAID Controller, GDJ3J, is the general-purpose entry card of the PERC 9 series. The H330 is built for internal storage and tape devices and comes as an adapter in low-profile and full-height forms, as a mini monolithic card and as a mini blade. This mini monolithic card is a flat card under a heat sink, without the battery carrier found on the H730 cards.
The H330 uses a Dell SAS RAID-on-Chip with eight ports and the LSI 3008 chipset. It has no cache and no battery backup unit. RAID levels are 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50; it has no RAID 6 or 60. The drive types are 3 Gbps SATA, 6 Gbps SATA and SAS, and 12 Gbps SAS, over a PCIe Gen 3 host link, with a queue depth of 895.
Capacity limits are lower than on the cached cards: 16 virtual disks per controller and 16 per disk group. The H330 has no hardware XOR engine, and because it has no caching, performance in RAID 5 and RAID 50 arrays is affected; caching is recommended for performance-sensitive solutions. RAID level migration is not supported, and the maximum and customized power-savings modes are unavailable.
Everyday features remain: hot-swap devices, dedicated and global hot spares, online capacity expansion, non-RAID pass-through mode, 4 KB sector drives, HBA mode for Windows Storage Spaces or VMware vSAN, and iDRAC Comprehensive Embedded Management.
