HPE Smart Array E208e-p SR Gen10 12GB SAS PCIe Plug-In Controller.

Hpe smart array e208e-p sr gen10 (8 external lanes/no cache) 12g sas pcie plug-in controller.

Upgrade your HPE ProLiant Gen10 server´s external storage capabilities with the HPE Smart Array E208e-p SR Gen10 Controller. This enterprise-class controller is engineered to provide a cost-effective and reliable solution for connecting to external SAS or SATA drives, making it an ideal choice for environments that require data archiving, backup, or expanded storage capacity. As a powerful PCIe plug-in expansion card, it delivers the performance and data protection features necessary for today´s demanding data center applications, all while maintaining an affordable price point.

Key Benefits

Cost-Effective Enterprise Performance:
Achieve high-performance external connectivity without a significant investment. The E208e-p controller supports 12Gb/s SAS and 6Gb/s SATA transfer rates, ensuring fast and efficient data access to your external storage arrays and tape drives. This makes it perfect for small to medium-sized businesses looking for enterprise-grade reliability and speed on a budget.

Enhanced Flexibility with Mixed Mode:
The controller operates in Mixed Mode, which combines RAID and HBA functionalities simultaneously. This unique capability allows you to connect drives to a logical RAID volume for data protection while also connecting other drives in HBA mode for direct access, such as for software-defined storage (SDS) environments. This flexibility simplifies your storage network and maximizes hardware utilization.

Robust Data Security:
Protect your sensitive data-at-rest with HPE Smart Array SR Secure Encryption . This controller-based encryption solution secures all data on drives connected to the controller, helping you comply with data privacy regulations like HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley without impacting performance.

Seamless Integration and Management:
Designed specifically for HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers, the E208e-p ensures seamless compatibility and is easily managed through the unified HPE Smart Storage Administrator (SSA), UEFI, and iLO tools. This simplifies configuration, monitoring, and maintenance of your storage infrastructure.
