## Summary description

The HPE SmartArray P408i-a SR Gen10 RAID controller supports PCI Express x8 interface and offers data transfer rates of up to 12 Gbit/s. It is compatible with Serial ATA and Serial Attached SCSI storage drives. The controller supports various RAID levels including 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10, providing flexibility for data protection and performance optimization.

## Long description

The HPE SmartArray P408i-a SR Gen10 is a RAID controller designed for Gen10 servers, providing a PCIe x8 interface and support for both Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial ATA (SATA) drives. It offers hardware RAID with support for RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, plus advanced data mirroring options. The controller includes eight SAS lanes delivered via two internal Mini‑SAS ports and features a 2 GB flash‑backed write cache to enhance write performance and protect cached data.
Advantages
This controller delivers up to 12 Gb/s SAS throughput and is compatible with 6 Gb/s SATA devices, enabling mixed drive environments. The integrated Adaptive RAID on Chip (AROC) offloads RAID processing from the host CPU. The 2 GB flash‑backed cache secures in‑flight write data against power loss, while support for multiple RAID levels and advanced data mirroring provides flexible options for balancing performance and redundancy.
Suitable for
Enterprise Gen10 servers requiring hardware RAID
Mixed SAS and SATA storage configurations
Database and virtualization workloads needing redundancy and performance
Systems where on‑board cache protection is required

Connect internal Mini‑SAS cables from the controller’s two 4‑lane Mini‑SAS ports to the backplane or drive cages. Configure RAID arrays using the server’s ROM/UEFI Smart Array configuration utility or HPE management software, select the desired RAID level and initialize the drives. Verify cache and data protection settings, and install required drivers in the host operating system.
Usage recommendations
Use the SmartArray P408i-a SR Gen10 in environments that require hardware RAID acceleration and secure write caching.
