Internal SAS RAID controller
The HPE Smart Array P204i-c SR Gen10 connects up to 12Gb/s SAS and Serial ATA/600 drives through a PCI-Express 3.0 x8 slot. It is built for administrators who need hardware RAID on HPE Gen10 servers without occupying a full-height bay. The card provides 1GB cache to accelerate array operations.
Thermals noise and power draw
The controller uses a low-profile passive heatsink and draws power only from the PCIe slot. It adds minimal heat to the chassis airflow and produces no audible fan noise. Typical operation stays within the slot power budget, leaving headroom for other expansion cards.
Included accessories and software
A zero-maintenance cache module is integrated on the board, removing the need for a separate battery or capacitor pack. The firmware supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and ADM modes, plus HPE Smart Storage Administrator for online capacity expansion and migration. No additional cables or mounting brackets are supplied.

Kysymyksiä tästä tuotteesta
How is the P204i-c SR Gen10 controller installed in the PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and what step is often missed?
Insert the card firmly into a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot, then connect the 12Gb/s SAS cables to the external connectors; the step often missed is enabling the controller in the server BIOS before creating any RAID volumes.
What maintenance will the 1GB cache memory need over time?
The 1GB cache is non-volatile flash-backed memory that requires no battery replacement or periodic servicing during the normal life of the controller.
Which limit appears first when the 12Gb/s SAS links run sustained workloads?
The PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface caps sustained throughput before the 12Gb/s SAS external connectors reach their own bandwidth ceiling.
