Fault Prevention
The following features offer detection of possible failures before they occur, allowing preventive action to
be taken:

Fault Recovery
Minimizes downtime, reconstructs data, and facilitates a quick recovery from drive failure
Recovery ROM: This feature protects the user from a firmware image corruption by storing a
redundant copy of the firmware image. If the active firmware image becomes corrupt, the
Line Spares: There is no limit to the number of spare drives that can be installed prior to drive
ructed
HPE SmartCache
The HPE SmartCache feature is a controller-based read and write caching solution in a DAS environment
that caches the most frequently accessed data ("hot" data) onto lower latency SSDs to dynamically
accelerate application workloads. The HPE SmartCache architecture is flexible and supports any HPE
ProLiant Gen9 supported HDD for bulk storage and any HPE ProLiant Gen9 supported SSD as an
accelerator. HPE SmartCache is deployed and managed using the HPE Smart Storage Administrator (HPE
SSA). HPE SmartCache is an optional license (see Related Options for more information on the license).
For more information please visit: http://www.hpe.com/servers/smartcache.
HPE Secure Encryption
HPE Secure Encryption is a Smart Array controller-based data encryption solution for ProLiant Gen9
servers that protects sensitive, mission critical data. This is an enterprise-class encryption solution for data
at rest on any bulk storage attached to the HPE Smart Array controllers including data on the cache
memory of the controller. HPE Secure Encryption is an optional license per server requiring encryption
enablement (see Related Options for more information on the license).
The solution is available for both local and remote key management mode deployments. Local Key
Management Mode is focused on single server deployment where there is one Master key per controller
that is managed by the user. Remote Key Management Mode is for enterprise wide deployments from
just a few servers to thousands

HPE SSD Smart Path
The HPE SSD Smart Path feature included in the Smart Array software stack improves Solid State Disk
(SSD) read performance. With up to 4x better SSD read performance, HPE SSD Smart Path chooses the
optimum path to the SSD and accelerates reads for all RAID levels and RAID 0 writes. HPE SSD Smart
Path requires updated firmware, drivers, and configuration utility available
at:
. HPE SSD Smart Path is ideal for read intensive workloads and is
included as a base feature on HPE Smart Array P-series controllers.
Warranty
The warranty for this device is 3 years parts only.
Pre-Failure Warranty: Drives attached to the Smart Array Controller and monitored under Insight
Manager are supported by a Pre-Failure (replacement) Warranty. For complete details, consult the HPE
Support Center or refer to your HPE Server Documentation.
