Product information

Description

The HPE Smart Array P421 Controller is a low-profile PCIe 3.0 Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) RAID controller with 6 Gb/s per port, designed to deliver enterprise-class storage performance, external scalability and data protection for select HPE ProLiant Gen8 rack and tower servers. It provides eight external SAS ports and supports advanced storage features to maintain server availability and data integrity.

Advantages

The controller increases server uptime through online RAID-level migration between any supported RAID levels with flash-backed write cache, supports a global online spare and provides pre-failure warning capabilities. It ensures compatibility across Smart Array generations, allowing straightforward data migration when upgrading controllers for greater performance, capacity or availability.

Key specifications

Interface: PCIe 3.0
Protocol: Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
Transfer rate: 6 Gb/s per port

How to use

Install the P421 controller into an available low-profile PCIe 3.0 slot in a supported HPE ProLiant Gen8 rack or tower server and connect external SAS devices to the eight external SAS ports. Configure RAID arrays using the HPE Smart Storage Administrator or the server BIOS utility, enable the flash-backed write cache where supported, and follow HPE procedures for online RAID migration and spare configuration to manage capacity and availability without extended downtime.
