## Summary description

The HPE SmartArray P408e-m SR Gen10 RAID controller supports SAS interfaces and offers RAID levels 0, 1 ADM, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60. It features a data transfer rate of 12 Gbit/s and has an internal memory of 2048 MB. This controller is designed for high-performance storage solutions in enterprise environments, ensuring data integrity and availability.

## Long description

The HPE Smart Array P408e-m SR Gen10 Controller supports 12 Gb/s SAS and PCIe 3.0 and is designed to maximize performance for externally attached drives while providing enterprise-class storage capabilities. It operates in Mixed Mode to combine RAID and HBA operations and includes 2 GB of flash-backed write cache (FBWC). The controller has eight external SAS lanes for connection to external SAS or SATA drives and supports HPE Smart Array SR Secure Encryption to protect data at rest.
Advantages
The controller delivers high data throughput with 12 Gb/s SAS and PCIe 3.0 compatibility, improving performance for external storage arrays. Mixed Mode operation lets the controller handle RAID arrays and pass-through HBA tasks simultaneously. The 2 GB FBWC preserves write performance and data integrity during power loss events. Eight external SAS lanes provide flexible connectivity to multiple external drives. Built-in support for HPE Smart Array SR Secure Encryption offers hardware-based encryption of data at rest.
Suitable for
 Enterprise external storage expansion and JBOD enclosures
 RAID-protected data stores requiring levels such as 0, 1 ADM, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60
 High-throughput workloads that need 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity
 Systems requiring hardware-based encryption for stored data
Key specifications
 Interface: 12 Gb/s SAS, PCIe 3.0
 Memory: 2 GB flash-backed write cache (FBWC)
 Operational mode: Mixed Mode (RAID + HBA)
 External connectivity: eight external SAS lanes
 Supported RAID levels: 0, 1 ADM, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60
 Data protection: support for data-at-rest encryption (HPE Smart Array SR Secure Encryption)
How to use
Install the controller into an appropriate PCIe 3.0 slot on a compatible server platform and connect external SAS or SATA drive enclosures to the eight external SAS lanes using supported cables. Configure arrays using the server management utility or HPE Smart Array configuration tools, selecting Mixed Mode if both RAID and HBA functions are required. Enable and provision FBWC for write caching as directed by system firmware and enable SR Secure Encryption if encrypted data-at-rest is needed.
Usage recommendations
Ensure firmware and drivers are up to date for compatibility and performance. Use supported HPE enclosures and certified cables for external connections. Regularly back up configuration and encrypted keys before firmware updates or hardware changes to prevent data loss.
