Which perc controller should I purchase?

I currently own a Dell PowerEdge R720 that is using the Internal SAS connector to connect to one of the 2 backplanes. I am looking to add a PERC controller so that I can utilize both backplanes.

I initially purchase the MX3P7 cable thinking I could just connect it and be on my way. However, after some research, it looks like I need to purchase a PERC controller.

I looked over the controllers listed on this page: http://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/04/campaigns/dell-raid-controllers

but I don't know which controller is compatible with the dell R720. 

If it helps, I have the 3.5" hard drive back plane.

    Many on that list are compatible, but if performance is at all important, get the H710 or H710P.
