RAID & HBA
RAID controllers and host bus adapters
Manufacturers: Dell, HPE
Storage controllers divide into two jobs that are often confused on the purchase order: RAID controllers, which present logical volumes and generally carry cache, and host bus adapters, which present drives directly to the operating system for software-defined storage. Ordering one when the design requires the other is a common and expensive error. The controllers here cover the Dell PERC and HP Smart Array families fitted to the server generations listed in this catalogue.
