Dell H710P Mini Monolithic TY8F9 1GB cache PCIe 3.0 RAID controller

Listed for sale is the Dell PERC H710P Mini Monolithic (Dell P/N: TY8F9) 1GB cache RAID SAS controller for 12th gen PowerEdge rack mount servers. They have been updated to the latest Dell H710P Mini firmware (as of the time of this listing) which is version 21.3.5-0002. I also set the PCIe link speed to Gen 3 (they default to gen 2) to improve performance with the full 8GT/s PCIe bandwidth instead of 5GT/s.

This is a Dell "mini monolithic" card, specifically designed for DELL 12th Gen SERVERS ONLY. THIS IS NOT A NORMAL PCIe CARD and will NOT FIT REGULAR PCIe SLOTS.

  1. Updated to latest H710P firmware (21.3.5-0002)
  2. PCIe link speed configured to gen 3 for max performance
  3. 1024MB (1GB) cache
  4. Cache protection BBU (Battery Backup Unit) tested working

These are based on the LSI SAS2208 SAS controller chipset and support PCI-E 3.0 specifications with x8 lanes. These cards are fully tested on all PCIe lanes and SAS lanes.

CAUTION: This is NOT an HBA or IT mode controller. This is the highest performing hardware RAID controller available for Dell 12th gen rack mount PowerEdge servers. If you need an HBA (IT mode) version of this card, see my other listing.

Looking for an HBA / IT mode adapter instead? Check out the HBA section at my ebay store here.

Feel free to ask any questions.

Why buy from the Art of Server?
  • I can provide technical support if you have problems
  • I'm aware of counterfeit products on the market, and I make every effort to ensure that what I sell are not counterfeit.
  • I ship fast, usually same or next business day!
  • I have a YouTube channel with many helpful videos. Look for "Art of Server" on YouTube. (sorry, I can't link per eBay policy)
  • I fully test the HBAs I sell. See my testing process on YouTube.
  • I clean the server components I sell. You will not receive something covered in dust, or have unwanted stickers/labels, etc. 
  • I ship electronic parts in proper anti-static bags (not the pink stuff) with bubble wrap or foam protection where needed.
  • I am a server enthusiast and IT professional that has worked with many brands of servers and have also built custom servers, not just someone selling computer parts. I love what I do! :-)
  • I've used ZFS for many years. I'm familiar with ZFS on Linux, FreeNAS, and many of the technologies commonly used by other enthusiasts.
  • I love cats. How can you deny my cute, cuddly charm?
Who is the Art of Server?
I'm a cat lover and a server enthusiast. I've operated my own rack of servers at home for almost 20 years. I've helped many friends and strangers with their servers. So, one day, I thought why not offer pre-flashed IT mode / HBA SAS controllers on eBay to help others with their server build? Since then, I've also added other "interesting" items to my eBay store that I think other server/computer enthusiasts would like. Oh, and I love cats. :-)
