Product overview
Part number 3C27H identifies this Dell QLE2692 dual 16Gb FC PCIe 3.0 x8 low profile HBA. 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.
Tell us the deadline you are working to and we will say whether it is achievable before you commit to it internally.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
The order is placed against 3C27H, not against a description of it, so there is no room for a substitution you did not agree to.
No substitutions without asking
If we cannot supply the exact code we tell you what we can supply and why, rather than shipping an equivalent and letting you find out.
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 3C27H genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes, new and sealed, with the Dell warranty and the firmware update path intact. We do not sell refurbished stock as new, and we do not source grey-market units.
Will 3C27H 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, POs from qualified organisations, net terms on approval, and banded pricing once the quantity is worth banding. Send the number and we will price it properly.
