Dell 0J7TNV

Overview

The Dell 0J7TNV is a PowerEdge Perc HBA330+ 12 Gb/s SAS RAID controller designed to provide servers with direct, high-speed access to SATA or SAS storage devices. It supports data transfer rates up to 12 Gb/s per lane and connects through a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot, making it suitable for environments that require fast and reliable storage expansion. With two internal miniSAS SFF-8643 ports, it can manage up to eight drives, presenting each one individually to the operating system for flexible storage configurations.

Key features

• Direct drive access with IT mode firmware allows the operating system to control each disk without abstraction, ideal for software-defined storage and JBOD setups.
• Two miniSAS SFF-8643 ports provide four lanes each, enabling connection of up to eight SATA or SAS drives with full bandwidth.
• PCIe 3.0 x8 interface ensures high throughput to keep pace with modern solid-state drives and enterprise hard drives.
• Includes both full height and low-profile brackets for compatibility with a wide range of server chassis, from standard racks to compact systems.
• Simple installation process involves seating the card, connecting miniSAS cables, and powering on, minimizing downtime in busy data centers.
• Supports direct-attached storage expansion for various use cases including virtualization clusters, backup repositories, and remote office servers.

Key specs

• Interface: PCIe 3.0 x8
• Ports: Two internal miniSAS SFF-8643
• Drive support: Up to 8 SATA or SAS drives
• Data transfer rate: 12 Gb/s per lane
• Firmware: IT mode (pass-through)

Connectivity and compatibility

This controller connects via a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot, providing ample bandwidth for high-speed storage devices. The two miniSAS SFF-8643 ports each offer four lanes, allowing connection to multiple drives through compatible cables and backplanes. It supports both SATA and SAS drives, making it versatile for different storage media types. The IT mode firmware ensures that drives are presented directly to the host system, which is essential for software-defined storage solutions and environments requiring unfiltered disk access.

Installation and setup

Installation is straightforward and designed to fit into a variety of server chassis thanks to the included full height and low-profile brackets. After seating the card into a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot, simply connect the miniSAS cables to your drives or backplane, then power on the system. The controller requires no additional configuration to pass drives directly to the operating system, simplifying deployment in data centers or remote locations.

Ideal uses and environments

The Dell 0J7TNV is well suited to IT professionals building or expanding storage for PowerEdge towers, lab servers, or remote office backup nodes. Its ability to handle up to eight drives at full 12 Gb/s bandwidth makes it a strong choice for data-intensive workloads such as virtualization clusters and backup repositories. The pass-through firmware mode supports environments where software-defined storage or direct disk management is preferred over traditional hardware RAID.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
