## Long description

The HPE SmartArray P816i-a SR Gen10 is an Adaptive RAID on Chip (AROC) controller designed for HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers. It provides a PCI Express x8 interface and supports both SAS and SATA drives with a 12 Gbit/s data rate. The controller exposes 16 SAS lanes through four internal Mini‑SAS x4 ports and includes 4 GB of flash‑backed write cache for improved write integrity and data protection.
Advantages
The controller supports multiple RAID levels (including 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10), enabling flexible storage configurations for performance and redundancy. Its 12 Gb/s SAS interface and internal Mini‑SAS ports allow high bandwidth connectivity to backplanes and drive enclosures, while the 4 GB flash‑backed cache preserves write data in case of power loss. Native support for SAS and SATA drives simplifies mixed-drive deployments in HPE ProLiant DL360 and DL380 Gen10 systems.
Suitable for
 Enterprise server storage consolidation in HPE ProLiant DL360/DL380 Gen10
 High-throughput transactional workloads requiring RAID performance
 Configurations needing redundancy and data protection (RAID 1/5/6/10)
 Mixed SAS and SATA drive environments

Connect the server backplane or drive enclosures to the controller using compatible Mini‑SAS cables attached to the four internal Mini‑SAS x4 ports. Configure physical drives and create RAID arrays using the HPE Smart Storage Administrator (SSA) or server BIOS/UEFI storage configuration utility. Ensure firmware and drivers are updated to the versions recommended by HPE for Gen10 platforms.
Usage recommendations
Use certified HPE drive backplanes and approved Mini‑SAS cabling to ensure signal integrity.
