There are only 4 storage configurations in the R750xa, which comprise two backplane options (config 0, config1):

  • Up to 8x SAS/SATA SSD in a RAID config
  • Up to 8x NVMe in a RAID config
  • Up to 6x NVMe direct attach
  • Up to 4x SAS/SATA SSD in a RAID config + Up to 4x NVMe direct attach

Dell's RAID controller options offer performance improvements, including the fPERC solution. fPERC provides a base RAID HW controller without consuming a PCIe slot by using a small form factor and high-density connector to the base planar.
