Dell H710P Mini - Max Drive Size?
Hello everyone,
I am using a Dell R720(8Bays 3.5sata) server which is running Raid (Dell Perc h710p mini). I want to ask this raid card, how many TB maximum capacity does it support? I can’t find any solid documentation on the largest size of drives these support, Can anyone help me? thanks

Hello,
About H710p it depends which sector used by hard drives, I beleive 512e drives for better compatibility. There is no technical guide that inform the maximum size drive that H710p could support. But as long as the drives use the 512e sector size format I think you can use various large capacity hard drives. in tecnical guide says very smaller capaticities on page 26 ESG-PowerEdge-R720-and-R720xd-Technical-Guide.pdf (https://dell.to/3WWFyUQ)
However it's not updated I think. I believe it's more supported than written on the tech guide due to latest fw update.
You can go to here : https://dell.to/3WZoFsB
Enter your Service Tag. It should show you fully supported accessories and components including drives supported by Dell. Or I can recommend contacting a Dell reseller can provide guidance on compatible drives for your specific setup.
Hope that helps!
