The HP SC44GE is a RAID host bus adapter designed by Hewlett-Packard (HP) to provide high-speed data transfer and RAID support for servers. The device has a PCI-Express x8 interface and supports up to one SAS port. In this article, we will explain in detail what the HP SC44GE is, its features, and how it works.
A RAID Host Bus AdapterA RAID host bus adapter (HBA) is a device that connects a server to one or more hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state drives (SSDs) in a RAID configuration. The RAID HBA provides advanced features such as RAID levels, data redundancy, and high-speed data transfer. It offloads the CPU from RAID processing, reducing the server workload and improving overall performance.
Overview of HP SC44GEThe HP SC44GE is a high-performance RAID HBA that provides support for SAS and SATA drives. The device has a PCI-Express x8 interface and supports up to one SAS port. The HBA has a SAS data transfer rate of 3.0 Gbps and supports RAID levels 0, 1, and 5. The device is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware.
Features and BenefitsThe HP SC44GE has several features that make it a reliable and high-performance RAID HBA. Some of these features include:
- SAS and SATA Drive Support: The HP SC44GE supports both SAS and SATA drives, providing flexibility in storage options.
- PCI-Express Interface: The HBA has a PCI-Express x8 interface, which provides high-speed data transfer and low latency.
- RAID Support: The HP SC44GE supports RAID levels 0, 1, and 5, providing data redundancy and improved performance.
- Hot-Swap Support: The HBA supports hot-swap of SAS and SATA drives, allowing for easy maintenance and upgrades.
- Wide OS Support: The HP SC44GE is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware.
The HP SC44GE works by connecting to a server through the PCI-Express interface. The HBA then connects to one or more SAS or SATA drives, which can be configured in a RAID array. The HBA offloads the CPU from RAID processing, providing improved server performance. The HP SC44GE supports RAID levels 0, 1, and 5, which provide data redundancy and improved performance. The HBA also supports hot-swap of SAS and SATA drives, allowing for easy maintenance and upgrades.

- HP ProLiant DL Series
- HP ProLiant ML Series
- HP ProLiant BL Series
- HP ProLiant SL Series
In Summary,The HP SC44GE is a high-performance RAID HBA that provides support for SAS and SATA drives. The device has a PCI-Express x8 interface and supports up to one SAS port. The HBA supports RAID levels 0, 1, and 5 and is compatible with a wide range of operating systems. The device is designed for use in HP ProLiant servers and provides advanced features such as hot-swap support and data redundancy.
