Frequently Asked Questions

How does the HBA355i differ from the PERC H755?
The HBA355i is a pure IT mode HBA with no RAID capability, passing drives directly to the OS. The PERC H755 is a full RAID controller with NV cache and hardware RAID support.
What connector does the HBA355i use?
It uses SFF-8654 (SlimSAS) connectors for front drive bay integration in Dell PowerEdge 16G servers.
Is this compatible with 15th generation PowerEdge servers?
The HBA355i is designed for 16th generation PowerEdge platforms. Compatibility with 15G servers is not guaranteed — verify with Dell's compatibility matrix.

The Dell HBA355i delivers clean, passthrough SAS connectivity for front drive bays in PowerEdge 16G servers. Order today and build your JBOD or software-defined storage configuration with confidence.
