PERC H200

The H200 SAS HBA is an expansion card that plugs into the dedicated internal SAS slot
on Riser1. It incorporates two four-channel 6 Gb/s SAS IOCs for connection to SAS hard
disk drives. It is designed in a form factor that allows the same card to be used in
other 11G 2U rack-form factor platforms.

PERC H700

Customers who want an internal RAID solution should select the H700. This H700 card

internal H700.
