I have an old Dell R520 with a Perc H310 controller currently. I am re-purposing this server to be a Veeam backup server. Currently, the performance of the H310 is not that fast. I am wondering if I can upgrade the controller to a different one that will be faster. If I change this to a 12GB SAS HBA, will it just be an easy replace? I will be using all 8 SAS drives, running Windows Server 2016 with Storage Space REFS. Not really using hardware RAID in this server. Would it be better to use a PERC H330 and hardware RAID?
