Dell PERC H730P Mini Mono RAID Controller
The Dell PERC H730P is a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA hardware RAID controller in Dell's Mini Mono form factor, built on the Broadcom/LSI SAS3108 dual-core RAID-on-Chip with 2 GB of flash-backed (non-volatile) cache.
It drives up to 8 internal 12 Gb/s SAS-3 lanes — expandable through the server backplane/expander to as many as 32 devices — with hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 plus JBOD passthrough. Write-back caching is protected by a battery/supercapacitor backup unit, and Dell FastPath accelerates I/O to all-SSD arrays. The Mini Mono edge connector seats in the dedicated storage-controller slot of Dell PowerEdge 13G servers, leaving every standard PCIe slot free for NICs, HBAs or GPUs.
0J6WK is the Dell factory part number (also cataloged as J6WK). The "P" designation denotes the 2 GB cache tier — double the 1 GB of the base H730 — for deeper write buffering on parity arrays.
Delivered seller-refurbished: firmware version recorded, cache and BBU health verified, and the controller exercised building and verifying a live 12 Gb/s array — under a 365-day owned warranty with seller-paid RMA freight and zero restocking fee.

Compatible platforms (Mini Mono slot)
Dell PowerEdge 13G — R630, R730, R730xd, T630. The Mini Mono edge connector is platform-specific: 14G servers such as the PowerEdge R740xd use the 14G-generation PERC H730P/H740P Mini (a different part). Verify the generation before ordering.
Compatible drives
Any 12 Gb/s SAS or SATA drive in a Dell carrier — e.g. Seagate 1.2TB 10K SAS (ST1200MM0098) and Samsung PM1643 3.84TB SAS SSD.
