The firmware of PowerEdge server hard drives is a critical component in the server system. Regularly updating and maintaining this firmware is essential for server performance, security, and compatibility. Hard drive firmware updates can often fix known hardware faults and issues, address identified vulnerabilities and security problems, and potentially introduce new features, improvements, and enhancements.

In Linux, NVMe drives connected behind a PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) may exhibit lower performance than expected during small I/O workload testing. This occurs because the OS identifies these drives as standard SCSI block devices (/dev/sdX) rather than native NVMe devices (/dev/nvmeXnX). This identity leads to the application of suboptimal default I/O schedulers.

Best Practices for Dell PowerEdge Server Power Supplies and UPSs

This article explains the requirements to deploy VMware ESXi 9 virtual machines with 4Kn end‑to‑end (E2E) storage when using Dell PowerEdge PERC12 (H965) and newer controllers. It also covers how to identify when ESXi is using 4Kn software emulation (SWE) instead of true 4Kn E2E, and what conditions prevent E2E.

Samsung PM9D3a and PM9D5a NVMe SSDs used in PowerEdge servers lack support for the Security Protocol and Data Model (SPDM), causing SPDM‑related features to fail.

This article explains Dell’s 17th Generation (17G) transition from Dell‑custom Ethernet network interface cards (NICs) to industry‑standard NICs, detailing how this change aligns with industry practices while preserving Dell validation, life cycle management, and enterprise support, with standardized iDRAC‑based management.
