Hewlett Packard Enterprise P408i-a SR Gen10 RAID Controller PCI Express X8 3.0 12 Gbit/s

Are you looking for an enterprise-level controller that will boost performance and storage capacity without taking up a PCI Express (PCIe) expansion slot?

HPE Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 Controller provides enterprise-class storage performance, reliability, security, and efficiency with 12 Gb/s SAS and PCIe 3.0 support

This is what you need to meet your changing data storage needs.

It also supports both RAID and HBA operations at the same time and can encrypt data on any drive while it is at rest.

With a 2 GB Flash-Backed Write Cache (FBWC), the Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 Controller is the best way to get the most out of your performance while also supporting advanced RAID levels.

HPE Smart Array P408i-A 804331-b21 has eight internal SAS lanes that let it connect to SAS or SATA drives

This type-a modular controller occupies a dedicated storage slot without occupying a PCIe expansion slot.

The Gen10 controllers are supported by the HPE Smart Storage Battery. The HPE Smart Storage Battery supports multiple devices and is sold separately.

Increased Performance for Faster Data Insights

The HPE Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 Controller is an enterprise-class RAID controller that improves performance in messaging, database, or general server applications. It also provides 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity on HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers when connected to 12 Gb/s internal storage devices.

It improves performance with a 2 GB write cache backed by flash and decreases latency in write-heavy applications that need a lot of logging, like databases.

Uses HPE SSD Smart Path to create a faster I/O path between the controller and SSD. This improves performance in storage environments where data is read over and over from a large number of SSDs.

With an optional license, HPE Smart Array SR SmartCache, you can store hot data on SSDs to make accessing data faster in an HDD environment.

Built-in reliability and security

With an optional license, the HPE Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 Controller with HPE Smart Array SR Secure Encryption protects data at rest on any connected drive.

Comply with regulations for sensitive data, such as HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley, with HPE Smart Array SR Secure Encryption—FIPS 140-2 Implementation. Under test, with FIPS 140-2 Level 1 validation expected in 2018.

The HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge lets you know about possible drive problems before a drive fails, so you can keep your data safe.

Long-term data retention with a 2 GB flash-backed write cache for improved data reliability.

Improved efficiency and storage management

Mixed Mode gives the HPE Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 Controller more flexibility.

It works in both RAID and HBA at the same time, so you don't have to spend money on another controller.
Rapidly configure simple RAID volumes on servers with the UEFI storage configuration tool, which also facilitates scripting support to configure an array via iLO through RESTful interface.

With HPE Smart Storage Administrator (SSA), you can quickly set up, configure, and manage drives that are connected to the controller.

SSA has an easy-to-use interface that lets you create RAID volumes, manage advanced controller features, and deploy Smart Array solutions.
