The HP Smart Array E500 is HP's external connect only, entry level PCI Express (PCIe) Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) RAID controller.
The full size card has 8 ports (2 x4 mini SAS external connectors) and utilizes DDR2-533 memory. The SA-E500 offers RAID 0, 1
and 0+1 and can be upgraded with the battery-backed write cache (BBWC) module for RAID 5. This low-profile card is ideal for
customers needing a low-cost external connect for HP ProLiant servers to tape, JBODs, and intelligent Modular Storage Arrays
(MSA).

Queuing
QueuingQueuing
Queuing
Native Command Queuing (NCQ) is a technology designed to increase performance of SATA hard disk
drives by allowing the individual hard disk to internally optimize the order in which received read and
write commands are executed. This can reduce the amount of unnecessary going back-and-forth on the
drive's heads, resulting in increased performance for workloads where multiple simultaneous read/write
requests are outstanding, most often occurring in server or storage-type applications. Without NCQ the
drive has to process and complete one command at a time. For NCQ to be enabled, it must be
supported and turned on in the controller and in the hard drive itself.
NOTE:
NOTE: NOTE:
NOTE:
Please see the SATA Hard Drive QuickSpecs for specific SATA hard drive capacities that support
NCQ:

Dual Domain Support
Dual Domain SupportDual Domain Support
Dual Domain Support
Dual domain SAS creates redundant pathways for external drives from servers to storage devices. The
redundant paths created by these configurations reduce or eliminate single points of failure within the
storage network. This provides increased levels of high availability with redundant paths from the
controller to the drives. Dual domain SAS implementations make it possible to tolerate host bus adapter
(HBA) or controller failure, external cable failure, expander failure, cable pulls, expander failure and
failure in a spanned disk (JBOD) environments.

Given the increasing need for high performance and rapid capacity expansion, the SA-E500 offers:
Up to 12TB of external storage per PCI slot with 4x HP StorageWorks 50 Modular Smart Array

Fault Prevention
Fault PreventionFault Prevention
Fault Prevention
The following features offer detection of possible failures before they occur, allowing preventive action to
be taken:
S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) was first developed by HP which
detects possible hard disk failure before it occurs, allowing replacement of the component before
failure occurs.
Drive Parameter Tracking monitors drive operational parameters, predicting failure and notifying
the administrator.
Dynamic Sector Repairing continually performs background surface scans on the hard disk drives
during inactive periods and automatically remaps bad sectors, ensuring data integrity.
Smart Array Cache Tracking monitors integrity of controller cache, allowing pre-failure
preventative maintenance.
Environment Tracking for External Storage System: Monitors fan speed and cabinet temperature of
StorageWorks Modular Smart Array Enclosures.
Fault Tolerance
Fault ToleranceFault Tolerance
Fault Tolerance
Keeps data available and server running while a failed drive is being replaced; several fault tolerance
configurations are supported including:
Distributed Data Guarding (RAID 5): This allocates parity data across multiple drives and allows
simultaneous write operations. It is recommended for up to 14 hard drives.
RAID5 is available on the SA E500 only if the battery kit option is used
Drive Mirroring (RAID 1, 1+0): This allocates half of the drive array to data and the other half to
mirrored data, providing two copies of every file. It is a high-performance RAID.
Fault Recovery
Fault RecoveryFault Recovery
Fault Recovery
Minimizes downtime, reconstructs data, and facilitates a quick recovery from drive failure
Recovery ROM: This new feature provides a unique redundancy feature that protects from a ROM
image corruption. A new version of firmware can be flashed to the ROM while the controller
maintains the last known working version of firmware. If the firmware becomes corrupt, the
controller will revert back to the previous version of firmware and continue operating. This reduces
the risk of flashing firmware to the controller.
On-Line Spares: There is no limit to the number of spare drives that can be installed prior to drive
failure. If a failure occurs, recovery begins with an On-Line Spare and data is reconstructed
automatically.
DRAM ECC corrects against single bit data and address corruption.
