Dell HBA465e External Passthrough Adapter Low Profile

This Dell HBA465e is a low-profile external passthrough storage adapter for Dell servers that need direct-attached external storage connectivity. It installs in a low-profile PCIe slot and connects the host to supported external storage enclosures, presenting attached storage through the HBA rather than using controller-level hardware RAID. Compatibility depends on the server’s PCIe slot and riser layout, bracket height, supported HBA465e option set, external cable and enclosure type, drive and backplane support, firmware, and operating-system driver support.
