Do you need a cost-effective storage controller that provides fast access to the data on your HPE Synergy Compute Modules?

The HPE H240nr Smart Host Bus Adapter comes in a flexible Smart SAS HBA form factor that provides a reliable, high performing SAS connectivity to the data in the compute module drives. Supported on HPE Synergy Compute Modules, it features four internal physical links and it delivers 12 Gb/s SAS performance. The H240nr Smart HBA provides flexibility to run in HBA mode or simple RAID mode. When operating in simple RAID mode, it provides RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 with optional HPE Secure Encryption capabilities. Unlike the HPE Smart Array Controllers, the H240nr Smart HBA does not offer any acceleration or support cache modules.

Does your business need a cost efficient enterprise-class controller to access data on your HPE Synergy Gen10 compute modules?

The HPE Smart Array E208i-c SR Gen10 Controller, supporting 12 Gb/s SAS and PCIe 3.0, provides a cost-effective storage solution with enterprise-class reliability supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 and software-defined storage (SDS). This controller has eight internal SAS lanes, allowing connection to SAS or SATA drives, supports Mixed Mode operations of RAID and HBA simultaneously, and offers encryption for data-at-rest on any drive.

Are you looking to protect your data with storage inside the server or secure encrypt your data without occupying a PCIe slot?

The HPE Smart Array P840ar Controller is a Flexible Smart Array, 12 Gb/s SAS RAID controller that provides enterprise-class storage performance, increased internal scalability, and data protection for HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen9 and HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 servers. It features 16 internal physical links and delivers increased server uptime by providing advanced storage functionality, including online RAID level migration between any RAID level with a 2GB Flash-Backed Write Cache (FBWC), global online spare, and pre-failure warning.

The HPE Smart Array P840ar Controller supports HPE Secure Encryption and also supports the HPE Smart Storage Battery, which allows multiple Smart Array controllers to be supported.

Are you looking for a cost effective, enterprise-class controller for internal attached drives without occupying a PCIe expansion slot?
