  Yes, it does. Be sure to check the Onboard SATA option under Hard Drive Configuration. If you enable RAID, you will get the S100 controller ... leave RAID disabled and use Windows software RAID instead.   You can't order a server without a drive (see below **). If you plan to use your own, order it with the smallest/cheapest drive available, then swap it out later. You do NOT need to specify BIOS/UEFI at the time you order the server if you plan to swap the hard drive or install the OS yourself.   I can't think of any, other than the fact that it is not officially "supported", so you may run into issues at some point, but I suspect there won't be any. ** You said they are selling it "diskless", which I have never seen. If you can, great, but if not then see my comment above. Enterprise disks are only required if using enterprise-class RAID controllers. Just don't use the S100 ... it is not (should not be considered) an "enterprise-grade" RAID solution. "Real" RAID controllers (like the PERC 6/i or H700) are not supported in the T110 II, so you wont' really need enterprise disks. Some have reported PERC 6/7 work in the T110 II, but it is unsupported, and if you choose to go that route, then make sure you have good disks designed for those controllers.
I've been running Windows Home Server on an old Dell Zion (yeah--pretty pokey), I see Dell has a great deal on an I3 PowerEdge T110 II. I did a lot of poking around in the online docs and manuals, but have a few unanswered questions:  o Does the server have a built-in SATA controller? The manual shows 6 SATA connectors, but when I tried to configure the server for purchase, it was persistent about wanting me to chose a PERC controller card. If there is a motherboard controller, will it be adequate?   o Again, when trying to configure with UEFI boot, it indicated configuration conflicts. I'm ordering it without HDDs, but want to use an existing 4TB drive. I'll need to configure GBT and will need UEFI for that, I believe. Is this a problem?  o Anyone aware of any issues with running Windows Home Server 2011 on this platform? They are selling the unit as diskless/OSless as the default configuration. That's fine, but I wanted to buy a couple of enterprise HDDs to go along with it. When I tried to configure the system with HDDs, that's when all the configuration conflicts came up. I'll try to call in tomorrow, but I find the community is usually more knowledgeable than the sales folks. It looks like I'll buy the unit diskless and add my own drives. Any recommendations for HDDs that are reasonably reliable (and less expensive that Dell's)? I'd like to run RAID 1. My "adventure" is about to begin. Thanks for the help!! Al
