Product Overview of the Smart Array PCIE P246BR Controller
HPE 726795-001 Smart Array PCIE P246BR Controller is a hardware component manufactured by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). It is a RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) controller that allows users to manage and protect their data across multiple hard drives. The HPE Smart Array Controller provides enhanced performance, data security, and data protection for server systems.
Smart Array PCIE P246BR ControllerThe HPE Smart Array PCIE P246BR Controller is designed for use in HPE ProLiant Gen9 servers. It is a low-profile, half-length PCIe card that provides hardware RAID support for up to eight SAS or SATA hard drives. The controller includes four 12 Gb/s SAS ports and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, and 60.
One of the key features of the HPE Smart Array PCIE P246BR Controller is its flash-based write cache (FBWC). The controller includes 4GB of flash-based write cache, which provides improved performance for write-intensive workloads. The FBWC is a battery-free cache module that protects data in the event of a power failure. When power is restored, the FBWC automatically flushes the data to the hard drives.
The HPE Smart Array PCIE P246BR Controller also includes HPE Smart Storage Battery, which provides additional protection against data loss. The battery-backed write cache (BBWC) protects data in the event of a power outage or system failure. The BBWC allows the controller to write data to the cache even if the server loses power. When power is restored, the BBWC automatically flushes the data to the hard drives.
