HPE-Smart Array P440
The HPE Smart Array P440 is an enterprise hardware RAID controller designed for HPE ProLiant Gen9 servers. It provides high-performance storage management with 12Gb/s SAS connectivity, 2GB FBWC cache, and support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, making it suitable for demanding enterprise, virtualization, database, and storage applications.
Description
The HPE Smart Array P440 is a high-performance PCIe storage controller designed to provide hardware-based RAID functionality and advanced storage management for compatible HPE ProLiant Gen9 server platforms.
The controller uses a 12Gb/s SAS interface and supports both SAS and SATA storage devices, providing flexibility for deploying hard disk drives and solid-state drives in enterprise server environments. Its dedicated RAID processing reduces the storage-management workload placed on the host processor.
The P440 incorporates 2GB Flash-Backed Write Cache (FBWC) to improve write performance while helping protect cached data in the event of a power interruption. This makes it well suited to applications where storage performance and data integrity are important.
The controller supports a broad range of RAID levels, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, allowing administrators to select configurations based on the required balance of performance, usable capacity, and fault tolerance.
Advanced storage-management features include online RAID-level migration, online capacity expansion, drive roaming, spare-drive management, and predictive failure analysis. These capabilities simplify storage administration and help maintain availability in enterprise environments.
