Product overview
Dell lists 405-AAWE as a PERC H745 front 12Gb/s PCIe SAS RAID Controller. 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.
The listed price is per unit and current; tell us the quantity and we will confirm what it holds at before you raise the order.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
405-AAWE is what is quoted and 405-AAWE is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.
Answered by a human
A quote comes back with the reasoning attached, including the cases where we think you should buy something else.
Compatibility checked
We confirm the part is supported on your platform before it ships, rather than leaving the check to you.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is 405-AAWE 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 405-AAWE 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.
