## Summary description

HP Enterprise SmartArray E208e-p SR Gen10 is a server RAID controller with PCI Express x8 host interface supporting SAS and SATA drives. It provides hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5 and 10 and a 12 Gbit/s data transfer rate. Designed for Gen10 systems, it is suited for enterprise storage consolidation, data protection and performance optimization in servers.

## Long description

HP Enterprise SmartArray E208e-p SR Gen10 is a server RAID controller that fits into a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot and supports both SAS and SATA drives. The controller offers eight SAS lanes with two external Mini-SAS x4 ports and delivers up to 12 Gbit/s per link for compatible SAS devices and 6 Gbit/s for SATA devices. Designed for Gen10 systems, it provides hardware RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 to consolidate storage, protect data and optimize server storage performance without a flash-backed write cache.
Advantages
The SmartArray E208e-p SR Gen10 balances performance and simplicity by supporting high-speed 12 Gbit/s SAS connectivity alongside SATA compatibility, while using a PCIe x8 host interface for efficient data transfer. Its hardware RAID support for common RAID levels enables improved redundancy and read/write performance across direct-attached drives. With two external Mini-SAS ports and eight SAS lanes, the card supports flexible external storage expansion and integration into existing server topologies.
Suitable for
Enterprise servers requiring external SAS/SATA storage expansion
Systems needing hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5 or 10 for redundancy and performance
Gen10 server platforms with available PCIe x8 slots
Storage consolidation and data protection in small to medium datacenter environments
Key specifications
Supported drive interfaces: 12 Gbit/s SAS and 6 Gbit/s SATA
Host connection: PCI Express 3.0 x8
RAID levels supported: 0, 1, 5, 10 (hardware RAID)
External ports: 2 x Mini-SAS (each x4)
SAS lanes: 8 lanes available for external connectivity
No onboard flash-backed write cache; controller relies on policy and host for write handling
How to use
Install the controller in an available PCI Express x8 slot on a Gen10-compatible server following the server and card installation guidelines. Connect external SAS or SATA enclosures to the two Mini-SAS x4 ports using compatible cables and ensure drives are properly populated and powered. Configure RAID arrays using the server management utility or SmartArray configuration tools during system POST or from the operating system-level management software. Verify firmware compatibility and update the controller firmware as recommended by the server vendor before full deployment.
Usage recommendations
Use enterprise-grade SAS or SATA drives that match your performance and endurance requirements, and plan RAID level selection according to desired balance of redundancy and capacity. Because the controller lacks a flash-backed write cache, consider write policy settings and host-side data protection (for example, application-level commit behavior or battery/backup strategies for connected storage enclosures) to safeguard against power loss during write operations.
