Description
Product overview of 787840-B21 HPE P440AR
The 787840-B21 HPE P440AR is a type of smart array controller card that is used to manage and store data in a server. This specific model is equipped with advanced features such as dual port SAS and 2GB FBWC, making it a popular choice for businesses and organizations with high data storage needs.
PCI-E 3.0 X8 Interface
The 787840-B21 HPE P440AR smart array controller card is designed with a PCI-E 3.0 X8 interface. This interface provides a high-speed connection between the controller card and the server. It is capable of transferring data at a rate of up to 8 gigatransfers per second, which means that it can handle large amounts of data quickly and efficiently.
Dual Port SAS
Another key feature of the 787840-B21 HPE P440AR smart array controller card is its dual port SAS capability. SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) is a type of interface that is commonly used to connect storage devices such as hard drives and solid-state drives to a server. The dual port SAS feature means that the controller card can support two separate SAS connections, allowing for greater flexibility and redundancy in storage management.
2GB FBWC
The 787840-B21 HPE P440AR smart array controller card is also equipped with 2GB of Flash Backed Write Cache (FBWC). FBWC is a type of cache memory that is used to improve the performance and reliability of data storage systems. It is particularly useful in environments where there is a lot of write-intensive activity, such as database applications or virtualized environments.
The 2GB FBWC on this controller card provides a large amount of cache memory, which means that it can handle a high volume of write operations without slowing down or experiencing data loss. The FBWC is also backed up by a battery, which ensures that any data stored in the cache will not be lost in the event of a power failure or system crash.
Smart Array Controller
The 787840-B21 HPE P440AR smart array controller card is part of the HPE Smart Array family of products. Smart Array controllers are designed to provide advanced storage management capabilities for servers, including RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) configuration and management, as well as data protection and recovery features.
The smart array controller on this card is capable of supporting multiple RAID levels, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. RAID is a technology that allows multiple hard drives to be combined into a single logical unit, which can improve performance, increase storage capacity, and provide data redundancy in the event of a drive failure.
Compatibility and Installation
The 787840-B21 HPE P440AR smart array controller card is designed to be compatible with a wide range of HPE ProLiant servers, including the DL360 Gen9, DL380 Gen9, ML350 Gen9, and more. It can be installed into a server’s PCI-E slot using the included bracket and screws.
In Summary,The 787840-B21 HPE P440AR smart array controller card is a high-performance storage management solution that is designed to provide advanced features and capabilities for businesses and organizations with high data storage needs. Its PCI-E 3.0 X8 interface, dual port SAS, 2GB FBWC, and smart array controller make it a powerful and versatile tool for managing and protecting data.
