Fault Recovery
Minimizes downtime, reconstructs data, and facilitates a quick recovery from drive failure
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
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

servers that protects sensitive, mission critical data. This is an enterprise

Warranty
The warranty for this device is 3 years parts only.
• S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) was first developed by HPE
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.
• 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.
• DRAM ECC detects and corrects data bit errors
for bulk storage and any HPE ProLiant Gen9
