The HPE Smart Array P204I-C (804426-002) controller is a PCI Express 3.0 x8 controller that supports both 12G SAS and 6G SATA interfaces and includes a 1GB cache. The cache provides increased performance and faster data access, making it an ideal choice for small to medium-sized businesses.
The 1GB cache temporarily stores data for faster retrieval, reducing latency and improving overall system performance. Frequently accessed data can be retrieved quickly from the cache, which can result in improved application response times and increased overall system performance.
The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10 levels, providing a range of options for data protection and performance. It also includes 4 internal ports and supports up to 8 drives, making it a flexible and scalable solution for small to medium-sized businesses.
The controller supports the following interfaces:
- SAS (Serial Attached SCSI): A high-speed data transfer interface that is used to connect storage devices to a server or workstation.
- SATA (Serial ATA): A popular interface for connecting storage devices to a computer or server.
- PCI Express 3.0: A high-speed data transfer interface that is used to connect expansion cards to a computer's motherboard.
The HPE Smart Array P204I-C (804426-002) is compatible with HPE ProLiant Gen10 and Gen10 Plus servers, as well as other systems that support the PCI Express 3.0 interface.
In conclusion, the HPE Smart Array P204I-C (804426-002) controller provides increased performance with its 1GB cache, making it an ideal choice for small to medium-sized businesses. The controller supports both SAS and SATA interfaces and is compatible with PCI Express 3.0 interfaces, making it a flexible and scalable solution for storage management.

- Keep the controller firmware up to date by downloading and installing the latest version from the HPE website.
The HPE Smart Array P204i-c is a PCI Express 3.0 (PCIe 3.0) x8 lane controller that provides 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA connectivity for HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10. The controller has 1 GB of cache memory, which provides increased performance and helps to prevent data loss in the event of a power failure.
PCI Express 3.0 is the latest version of the peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) interface, and provides increased bandwidth compared to earlier versions of the interface. The controller supports data transfer rates of up to 12 Gb/s, which is double the rate of PCI Express 2.0, and provides increased performance for data-intensive applications.
In terms of compatibility, the HPE Smart Array P204i-c controller is supported by a range of HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers, including the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10, HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10, HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen10, and HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen10, among others.
