Which HPE servers are compatible with the P408i-p SR Gen10 Controller?
This controller is designed for select HPE ProLiant Gen10 rack and tower servers that include an onboard SAS mezzanine slot, such as the DL360 Gen10 and DL380 Gen10 models.
How much cache memory does the P408i-p SR Gen10 include?
The P408i-p SR Gen10 Controller features up to 2 GB of battery-backed write cache (BBWC) or flash-backed write cache (FBWC) for consistent write performance and data protection.
Which RAID levels are supported by this controller?
It supports hardware-accelerated RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, enabling flexible performance and redundancy configurations.
Does the P408i-p SR Gen10 support NVMe drives?
No. The P408i-p SR Gen10 Controller is optimized for SAS/SATA drives. NVMe functionality requires an HPE Smart Array controller with NVMe support, such as the P408e-p NVMe model.
What interface and port count does this controller provide?
The embedded P408i-p offers eight internal SAS 12 Gb/s ports via a single x8 PCIe 3.0 connection, supporting up to 12 Gb/s per lane.
Is a battery or flash module included with the controller?
Yes. It ships with an HPE flash-backed write cache (FBWC) module, eliminating the need for a separate battery and ensuring data protection during power loss.
What is the maximum throughput of the P408i-p SR Gen10 Controller?
Each port delivers up to 12 Gb/s, yielding a theoretical aggregated throughput of up to 96 Gb/s when all eight ports operate at full capacity.
