Features

Cost-effective SAS Storage Connectivity

The HPE Smart Array E208i-c SR Gen10 Controller is a cost-effective, enterprise-class controller that provides the basic building blocks for simple RAID storage solutions and delivers 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity on HPE Synergy Gen10 compute modules when connected to 12 Gb/s internal storage devices.

Offers a low-cost solution to enable software-defined storage.

Rapidly configure simple RAID volumes on unconfigured servers with the UEFI configuration tool, which also facilitates scripting support to configure an array via iLO through RESTful interface.

The HPE Smart Array E208i-c SR Gen10 Controller has increased flexibility with Mixed Mode which operates in RAID and HBA simultaneously.

Improved Efficiency and Storage Management

Preserves data integrity with HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge, which alerts you to potential drive issues before a drive fails.

Complies with regulations for sensitive data, such as HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley with HPE Smart Array SR Secure Encryption.

The HPE Smart Array E208i-c SR Gen10 Controller protects data-at-rest on any drive attached to the controller with HPE Smart Array SR Secure Encryption (optional license).
