2.2.3 Software RAID
Dell Software RAID is a chipset RAID-enhanced version based on Intel chipset 3420. PERC S100 is
purely a chipset firmware/driver upgrade. PERC S300 contains the same chipset firmware/driver
upgrade as the PERC S100 and, in addition, adds a RAID chip on the card. While both the PERC S100
and PERC S300 support RAID type 0, 1, 5, and 10, RAID features vary by platform. PERC S100 and
S300 have the following limitations:
• Microsoft OS only; no support for Linux OS
• No support for Virtualization Solutions, such as VMware
