The Smart Array
Advantage
HPE's innovative design and integration work of the Smart Array family of products creates customer
value that is unmatched in the industry. Use of Smart Array products across multiple applications
results in a much low
The HPE Smart Array family brings an unparalleled return on investment through:
Data Compatibility among most current shipping Smart Array controllers allows simple and easy
upgrades any time as needs for higher performance, capacity, and availability increase. Even successive
generations of Smart Array controllers understand the data format of other Smart Array Controllers.
Consistent Configuration and Management Tools. Most current shipping Smart Array products
utilize a standard set of management and utility software. These tools minimize Total Cost of
Ownership (TCO) by reducing training requirements and technical expertise necessary to install and
maintain the HPE server storage.
SmartDrive Carrier form factor is used across multiple Hewlett Packard Enterprise servers. With
compatibility across many enterprise platforms, you are free to deploy and re
quickly deliver increased storage capacity, migrat

Pre-Failure Warranty means HPE Insight Manager not only reports when a drive is going to fail but
allows replacement of failing drives prior to actual failure. For complete details, consult the

caching with indefinite write cache data retention in the case of unexpected power outage
• Standard on the P430 are RAID 6 ADG, RAID 60 ADG, RAID 1 ADM, Capacity Expansion,
mirror split, recombine, and rollback in Online Mode, Drive Erase, Performance OptimizationDegraded Reads and Read Coalescing, Move/Delete any individual LUNS and Online Split
Mirror.
• Capable of supporting both legacy and UEFI boot operation on a DL580 Gen8 server
• The HPE SSD Smart Path feature included in the Smart Array software stack improves SSD
read for all RAID levels and RAID 0 write operations by optimizing the path to each SSD
attached to the controller
• The HPE SmartCache feature (HPE Smart Cache license is required on P430) is a controller-
based read 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 Secure Encryption, available as an option, is a Smart Array controller-based data
encryption solution for ProLiant Gen 8 servers that protect sensitive, mission critical data.
• Mix-and-match SAS and SATA hard drives lets you deploy drive technology as needed to fit
your computing environment.
• Software consistency on most current shipping Smart Array products: HPE Smart Storage
Administrator, HPE Systems Insight Manager (SIM), and HPE Intelligent Provisioning. The
HPE Smart Storage Administrator configures and manages a host of Smart Array Controllers
and other storage devices using a single interface. It replaces the HPE Array Configuration
Utility (ACU) with an updated design and configuration enhancements.
• Low-profile PCI Express form factor - ships with a full size and a low profile bracket for
deployment flexibility based on slot availability.

• RAID 6 (Advanced Data Guarding): Supported with a minimum of 4 drives. This allocates two
sets of parity data across drives. This level of fault tolerance can withstand a double drive
failure without downtime or data loss.
• RAID 60: Supported with a minimum of 8 drives. This volume is composed of two or more
RAID 6 sub-volumes (parity groups) where data is striped across each parity group as if it
were a single physical drive. Each RAID 6 parity group can sustain up to two drive failures
without incurring data loss.
• RAID 5
set of parity data across drives. This level of fault tolerance can withstand a single drive failure
without downtime or data loss.
• RAID 50: Supported with a minimum of 6 drives. This volume is composed of two or more
RAID 5 sub-volumes (parity groups) where data is striped across each parity group as if it
were a single physical drive. Each RAID 5 parity group can sustain a single drive failu
incurring data loss.
• RAID 1 & 10 (Drive Mirroring): Supported with a minimum of 2 drives. This allocates half of
the drive array to the data and the other half to the mirrored data, providing two copies of the
data.
• RAID 1 ADM & 10 ADM (Advanced Data Mirroring): Supported with a minimum of 3 drives.
RAID 1 ADM creates redundant copies of the data using 3 drives. RAID 10 ADM stripes data
across two or more sets of RAID 1 ADM volumes. This level of fault tolerance can withstand a
double drive failure within a RAID 1 ADM volume without downtime or data loss.
• 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
controller will use the redundant firmware image and continue operating.
• 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.
