Dell PERC H310 JBOD vs H710P RAID-0
I currently have a Dell Poweredge R620 with H310 Mini PERC RAID controller and all the of the disks are configured as pass-through (JBOD). I have found a good deal on H710P but it doesn't support non-RAID configurations. I will have to add the single-drive in RAID-0 and create Virtual Drives. I was wondering what would be the performance impact of H310 passthrough vs H710P on RAID-0 with a single disk. Although I am aware that H310 doesn't come with cache and performs bad when it comes to RAID, how does it stack up with H710 when running JBOD vs RAID-0?

We work in an environment with machines running mostly CentOS 7.3 but from times to times we need to switch to Windows 10.
To manage those changes, we have a PXE boot solution with tree options:
- boot currently locally installed OS
- reinstall CentOS (minimal OS with SaltStack recipe)
- reinstall Windows 10 (restore a clone of a Windows 10 disk image with clonezilla)
The issue we're facing is that Windows 10 doesn't support the Raid Controller PERC H310. So basically, when restoring the Windows image, we can't boot on it because Windows doesn't find the drives. Same issue when trying a clean install, Windows doesn't find any local disk.
I've tested every solution I've found like testing with previous version driver during Windows install... doesn't help so far.
Also, I'm sure of the issue since when attaching the drive directly to the motherboard (so skipping the raid controller) it works.
Any suggested solutions will be appreciated. Thanks.

Edit: a new version of Windows 10 Pro for Workstations could maybe help you out this fall too if you can wait.

You will need to preinstall the driver to make it work (slipstream) or to give the setup the driver.

The easiest way, in the setup, some other forum give that file to get to give the setup the driver

Ran into the dreaded H310 vs Win10 issue during an upgrade from win7.I know this post is old, but this may save some one a lot of time!!!
THERE IS NO DRIVER!
... a day of my life looking and trying every driver out there...
Perc H310 Integrated Raid Controller Driver Update
disable the onboard RAID controller from system bios.Installed LSI 9211-8i card(about $100) and reroute the HDD cage's cable to the new card.move the boot drive to one of the sata ports (was being used by DVD drive)Boot to win7 and allowed it to install the driver for the new card.Moved boot drive back to HDD cage and ran the windows 10 upgrade successfully!
Notes: system bios to A16, LSI card flash was 20.x.x.xIR. the 9211 has the correct SFF-8087 mini-SAS connector that matches up with Dell's hot swap cage. There is an IT flash for the 9211 if you wanna skip the boot delay and have no need for RAID.
