HPE Smart Array P410 8-Port SAS RAID Controller

The HPE Smart Array P410 is a low-profile PCI Express 2.0 SAS RAID controller with eight internal ports. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 using onboard DDR2-533 memory. This plug-in card suits servers requiring internal SAS connectivity at 300 Mbps transfer rates.

Suits administrators adding internal SAS RAID

Buyers who need external SAS ports or a different host interface should look at other options. The card provides two internal SAS connectors and a PCI Express x8 host interface only. Systems requiring a different form factor or port count will not match this hardware.

PCI Express 2.0 x8 host interface

The controller connects through a PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot, which determines whether it fits the target server. Verify the motherboard provides this exact slot type before purchase. The low-profile bracket measures 7.5 by 9.5 inches with a 2.3 inch thickness.

Questions about this item

Will the P410 8-port SAS RAID controller work in my older server that only has PCI Express 1.0 slots?

The card uses a PCI Express x8 interface compliant with the 2.0 specification; it will function in 1.0 slots at the lower 1.0 bandwidth.

How can I verify the controller is operating correctly after installation?

During POST the controller BIOS initialises and displays the firmware version; the Smart Storage Administrator utility then shows the logical drives at the 300 Mbps transfer rate.

Does the 462862-B21 include the Mini-SAS cables and battery-backed write cache, or must I buy them separately?

The low-profile card ships with two internal SAS ports only; cables and the optional battery-backed cache module are sold separately.
