Cisco Refurbished Controllers
Refurbished Cisco RAID controllers are a cost-effective way to manage storage arrays and add drive redundancy to your UCS servers. Acting as the central point for managing multiple drives, they handle RAID configuration and performance across your storage setup. We also stock SAS HBAs (Host Bus Adapters) for direct connectivity to drives without hardware RAID management, suitable for storage setups where RAID is handled elsewhere or isn't required.
Every unit is inspected and tested by our technicians before shipping. We stock RAID controllers and SAS HBAs for a range of Cisco UCS storage configurations, from straightforward drive setups to larger arrays. If you're not sure which controller or HBA fits your setup, our team can help, or use our Server Configurator to check compatibility across your build.

Find the Right RAID Controller or HBA for Your Cisco Server
The right choice depends on what you need: a RAID controller manages redundancy and performance across multiple drives, while an HBA provides more direct connectivity without hardware RAID management.
Compatibility depends on your UCS server model, controller interface, supported drives, and storage configuration — RAID controllers may also use specific cache and backup modules. Different controllers support different RAID levels, so check the specifications before choosing a replacement or upgrade.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Cisco RAID controller? A Cisco RAID controller manages multiple drives as a storage array, providing redundancy and/or improved performance depending on the RAID level configured.
What's the difference between a RAID controller and an HBA? A RAID controller manages drives as a redundant array with built-in processing. An HBA (Host Bus Adapter) provides more direct connectivity to drives without hardware RAID management, which some storage configurations use instead.
How do I know which controller fits my Cisco server? Compatibility depends on your exact UCS server model, controller interface, and storage configuration. Our team can help confirm the right match, or use our Server Configurator to check compatibility.
How much can I save with a refurbished Cisco RAID controller? Refurbished units typically run up to 80% below the price of new hardware.
What's the warranty on a refurbished Cisco RAID controller? Every refurbished Cisco RAID controller and HBA comes with a 1-year warranty.
