Tape Controller — Cross-Brand Comparison
Compare tape controller across 2 server brands. Same component type, different OEM part numbers — all in one place.
About Tape Controller
RAID controllers manage drive arrays with hardware acceleration and battery-backed cache. The Tape Controller ships from each OEM under a different model number (Dell PERC, HPE Smart Array, Lenovo ThinkSystem RAID, Cisco UCS RAID) — most share underlying Broadcom or Microsemi silicon.
Cross-referencing guidance
Cross-referencing RAID controllers: (1) confirm form factor (modular vs PCIe vs front-mezzanine), (2) match cache size and BBU/Flash backup, (3) verify drive interface (SAS3 vs SAS4 vs NVMe-RoC), (4) ensure OEM firmware is supported in your server iDRAC/iLO version. ICD stocks all Dell PERC H7xx/H8xx/H9xx generations, HPE Smart Array P-series and MR-series, and Lenovo 530/930/940 lines.
