What is PERC6i? I understand that it's a type of hard drive or raid controller, what makes it special or is it just a brandname controller?

    This is the Dell PERC6i

    Basically, it's a SAS RAID controller. What makes it special? The things that I'd say are something of note are the following:

    • Serial Attached SCSI
    • PCI Express bus
    • Supports up to 32 devices
    • Supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 (basically almost anything you might need)

    Other than that, nothing really special. Just a SAS RAID controller.
