The HPE Smart Array P430 is a PCIe Gen3 x8 SAS RAID controller with a 12 Gb/s internal port and 2 GB flash-backed write cache (FBWC), delivering hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and 50 for HPE ProLiant Gen9 servers.
The HPE Smart Array P430 supports hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and 50 to balance performance, capacity and data protection.
The Smart Array P430 is certified for HPE ProLiant Gen9 rack, tower and blade servers, including models DL360, DL380, ML350 and BL460, providing seamless integration and full warranty coverage.
The flash-backed write cache (FBWC) secures cached data in the event of power loss and accelerates write operations, reducing I/O latency and improving overall transaction throughput.
Yes, you can replace the 2 GB FBWC module with a 4 GB FBWC upgrade kit (compatible with Gen9 series) to increase cache capacity and boost write performance.
The P430 supports SAS and SATA HDD or SSD drives up to 12 Gb/s, with individual drive capacities up to 16 TB, enabling high-capacity storage arrays.
Power down your server, insert the P430 into an available PCIe Gen3 x8 slot, secure the bracket, reconnect any internal mini-SAS cables and power up to initialize the controller.
The P430 is supported on Microsoft Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, VMware ESXi and other HPE-qualified OS platforms.
During POST, press F8 to launch the HPE Smart Storage Administrator (SSA), select the P430 controller, choose Create Array, define RAID level, assign member drives and apply settings.
Use HPE Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) or the Smart Storage Administrator CLI to download and apply the latest P430 firmware bundle without interrupting existing array configurations.
HPE Insight Diagnostics, Smart Storage Administrator and iLO System Health Log provide real-time monitoring, event logging and proactive alerts for the Smart Array P430.
The P430 controller carries a one-year limited warranty with worldwide HPE support, upgradeable to three or five years with HPE Care Pack service options.
Use the Smart Storage Administrator to identify the failed drive, replace it with an identical specification disk, then allow the controller to rebuild the RAID automatically.
Yes, when installed in supported HPE ProLiant servers with hot-plug drive bays, the P430 controller allows drive exchange or replacement without powering down the system.
The P430 consumes up to 8 W under load and is designed to operate within standard HPE ProLiant server thermal profiles, requiring no additional airflow or cooling.
The P430 is designed, tested and warranted for HPE ProLiant systems only; use in third-party servers is not supported and may void warranty coverage.
The P430 is available through authorized HPE resellers, the HPE Store or HPE’s Official e-Commerce portal, often bundled with ProLiant server configurations for volume discounts.
