So the other day I bought a r720 and I am wondering what raid card would be best and what else I would need. I currently have a H710 mini mono. and I would like to use unraid to mange raid.

You can buy an HBA330 Mini, You can flash your H710 to IT Mode
You can buy an H730P Mini, and set to passthrough 

 

Just want to add..... when I tried my H310 with my R530 it didn't work and gave me a backplane error

So if i flash my h710 mini mono to IT mode then I can use unraid to manage the drives?

Sorry for late response, I don't get notifications

 

honestly... does the mobo have 2 - Sff-8087 ports?

If so.... just buy 2 cables "they are dirt cheap" go from backplane direct to mobo

don't waste your time flashing anything

Disable the "raid card" and save some power too :D

@DigDug5002 The information above from @G Speed should be taken into consideration. I have never used a Dell server for unRAID but the H310 works fine with my non-Dell hardware.  If G Speed has problems with the H310, perhaps one of his other suggestions is a better choice.

What's funny my H310 in IT mode was not happy in my DELL server lmao, backplane got really pissed off lol
