Product overview
038T13 is a Dell HBA355e 12Gb/s SAS/SATA host bus adapter, 4-Port external / 16-Port variants, PCIe (for PowerEdge G15/G16 servers). Moving an array between controllers is a firmware question before it is a hardware one, and metadata written by one generation is not always read by the next. Tell us what the disks are attached to today and we will confirm the migration path.
We return an itemised quote within 48 business hours, and we say plainly when a part is constrained rather than quoting a date we cannot hold.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
Quoted and supplied against 038T13 specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.

The battery or flash backup module is priced alongside the card rather than discovered missing at install.
Answered by a human
A quote comes back with the reasoning attached, including the cases where we think you should buy something else.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is 038T13 genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes. It ships new in Dell packaging, which is what keeps the warranty and the firmware entitlement valid. Anything we cannot supply that way we tell you about before you order.
Will 038T13 work in my server?
Send us the server model or service tag and we will confirm before you order. Part numbers alone do not always settle it: firmware revision and platform generation matter, and this is the check that prevents a return.
Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
Yes. Purchase orders are accepted from qualified organisations, net terms are available on approval, and tiered pricing applies at quantity. Tell us how many you need.
