HPE Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 Storage Controller
The HPE Smart Array P408i-a Smart Array RAID storage controller with 12GB/s SAS Lane, 6GB/s SATA Lane, with Data Backup for G10 HPE ProLiant servers. The 804331-B21 is a HPE Smart Array P408i-a enterprise-class RAID controller that greatly increases performance and delivers up to 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity on HPE ProLiant G10 Servers when connected to hard drives with a 12G data read/write speed.
The HPE 804331-B21 has eight internal SAS lanes, allowing connection to SAS hard drives or SATA hard drives, and offers encryption for data-at-rest on any drive with HPE Smart Array SR Secure Encryption. The HPE Smart Array P408i-A features Mix-and-match SAS and SATA drives to the same controller as well as Mixed mode (RAID logic drives and HBA physical drives simultaneously).
HPE SSD Smart Path
HPE SSD Smart Path: HPE SSD Smart Path is bundled with the HPE Smart Array software which greatly improves the read performance of solid state drives by up to 4x its current read performance. HPE SSD Smart Path technology accelerates the read performance of all solid state drives for all RAID levels.
HPE Fault Prevention Technology
HPE Fault Prevention Technology predicts drive failure before it occurs, allowing you to replace any faulty drive in the server. HPE Fault Prevention technology also does background surface scans to check hard drives during inactive periods and remaps bad sectors which ensures data integrity. The HPE Smart Array P408i-a SR controller, also has HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge utility that reports the amount of lifetime your solid state drives have. This allows you to easily replace any SSD that is approaching its total lifetime writes with a new SSD.
