The HPE Smart Array P408I-A SR controller is designed to increase storage bandwidth for HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers. One of the key features of the controller is its support for 12 Gbps SAS technology, which allows for fast data transfer rates of up to 12 Gbps. This enables the controller to handle large amounts of data quickly and efficiently, increasing the overall performance of the storage system.
The controller supports PCI-E 3.0 x8 interface which provides maximum performance and bandwidth for high-speed data transfer. This interface is designed to work seamlessly with the latest server hardware, ensuring that the controller is able to take full advantage of the server's capabilities.
HPE SmartCache feature of the controller allows you to increase your server's performance by caching frequently accessed data on a high-performance solid-state drive. This improves the overall performance of the server by reducing the time it takes to access data.
The controller also supports HPE SmartPath which is a feature that optimizes the path to storage devices for improved performance and failover. This ensures that the controller is always able to access storage devices even in case of a failure of any path.
Efficiently Manage Storage
The HPE Smart Array P408I-A SR controller is designed to efficiently manage storage for HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers. One of the key features of the controller is its support for the HPE Smart Storage Administrator (SSA) software, which provides a user-friendly interface for configuring and managing RAID arrays.
The SSA software includes a variety of diagnostic and troubleshooting tools that can be used to monitor the health and performance of the storage system and to identify and resolve any issues that may arise. This makes it easy to keep the storage system running smoothly and to quickly address any problems that may arise.
The controller supports multiple RAID levels, including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, RAID 5, and ADM (Advanced Data Mirroring) which provides added data protection by mirroring data across multiple disks. This allows you to configure your storage in a way that best meets your needs, and to easily expand your storage capacity as your needs change.
The P408I-A SR controller also supports HPE SmartCache which is a feature that allows you to increase your server's performance by caching frequently accessed data on a high-performance solid-state drive. This improves the overall performance of the server by reducing the time it takes to access data.
