HPE Smart Array P830 Controller
The HPE Smart Array P830 Controller is a full height, half length, 12 Gb/s SAS capable, PCIe 3.0, RAID controller that provides
enterprise class storage performance for select
SAS/SATA lanes each supporting 12 Gb/s or 6 Gb/s SAS or SATA protocol. Advanced storage functional
Data Mirroring, Advanced Data Guarding, dual domain, makes it easier to protect the data.

The Smart Array
Advantage
The HPE 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 lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) than any other server storage RAID
product. The HPE Smart Array family brings an unparalleled return on investment through:
Data Compatibility among all models of Smart Array controllers allows simple and easy upgrades any
time 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 tec
maintain the HPE server storage.
Smart Carrier is used across multiple Hewlett Packard Enterprise servers. With compatibility across
many enterprise platforms, you are free to deploy and re
increased storage capacity, migrate data between systems, and easily manage spare drives.
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 act

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
corruption. A new version of firmware can be flashed to the ROM while the controller maintains

Ease of Use
Consistency and Upgradeability on most current shipping Smart Array products make them unique in
the industry:

(SSD) read performance by up to 4x.
accelerates reads for all RAID levels and RAID 0 writes.
HPE Smart Array SR
SmartCache
(optional license)
The HPE Smart Array SR 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 SmartCache architecture is flexible and supports
any HPE ProLiant Gen10 HDD for bulk storage and SSD as an accelerator. SmartCache is deployed and
managed using the HPE Smart Storage Administrator (HPE SSA). SmartCache requires an optional
license (see Related Options section below for more information on the license).
For additional information please visit: http://www.hpe.com/servers/smartcache.
• Online drive firmware upgrade
• Unlimited global online spare
• S.M.A.R.T.: Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology first developed at Hewlett
Packard Enterprise servers 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.
• Recovery ROM: This feature provides unique redundancy that protects from a ROM image
the last known working version of firmware. If the firmware becomes corrupt,
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.
• GUI based configuration, management and diagnostic software tools with the HPE Smart
Storage Administrator
• Common data format between generations of products
• Data migration between servers and external Modular Smart Array enclosures
