The HP 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 HP ProLiant Gen8 rack servers and tower servers. It features 16 physical SAS/SATA lanes each supporting 12 Gb/s or 6 Gb/s SAS or SATA protocol. Advanced storage functionality, such as Advanced Data Mirroring, Advanced Data Guarding, dual domain, makes it easier to protect the data.

• The P830 Controller supports up to 16 drives without expander; for example on a DL38x Gen8 server that comes with 8 SFF drives can scale their internal storage by adding an additional 8 SFF drive cage connected to Smart Array P830
• Seamless upgrades to and from other HP Smart Array controllers.
• 16 SAS/SATA physical links distributed across 2 double wide Mini SAS 8i connectors for attachment to internal drive backplanes
• 12 Gb/s SAS performance when used on a DL580 Gen8 with 12 Gb/s devices (HDD or SSD)
• 6 Gb/s SAS technology delivers up to 600 MB/s per physical link.
• 6 Gb/s SATA technology delivers up to 600 MB/s for directly attached SATA drives.
• Mix-and-match SAS and SATA drives. Deploy drive technology as needed to fit the computing environment.
• PCI-e 3.0 8x host interface provides up to 8 GiB/s in each direction
• 4GB battery-backed write cache (not all of which is available for user data)
• Standard on the P830 are RAID 6 ADG, RAID 60 ADG, RAID 1 ADM, Capacity Expansion, mirror split, recombine, and rollback in Online Mode, Drive Erase, Performance Optimization-Degraded 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
• Recovery ROM protects against ROM corruption
• The HP 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 HP SmartCache feature (already included with the P830 controller) 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 HP Secure Encryption, available as an option, is a Smart Array controller-based data encryption solution for ProLiant Gen 8 servers that protects sensitive, mission critical data.
• Consistent management software among most current shipping HP Smart Array products, including HP Smart Storage Administrator (HP SSA), Systems Insight Manager (SIM), Array Diagnostic Utility (ADU), and Intelligent Provisioning
• 12 Gb/s SAS (1200 MB/s theoretical bandwidth per physical lane) on a DL580 Gen8
• 6 Gb/s SAS (600MB/s theoretical bandwidth per physical lane)
• x8 6 Gb/s SAS physical lane (compatible with 6 Gb/s SATA )
• 4 GiBytes 72-bit wide DDR3-1866 Flash Back Write Cache provides up to 14.9 GB/s maximum cache bandwidth
• PCI Express Gen3 x8 link width
• Read ahead caching
• Write-back caching
