The refurbished HPE Smart Array P816i-a SR Gen10 Controller, supporting 12Gb/s SAS and PCIe 3.0, is ideal for maximizing performance while supporting advanced RAID levels with 4 GB flash-backed write cache. This refurbished controller operates in Mixed Mode which combines RAID and HBA operations simultaneously. It has 16 internal SAS lanes, allowing connection of up to 16 SAS or SATA drives without need for the SAS Expander Card providing point to point connectivity to SSDs for lower latency. 

It also offers encryption for data-at-rest on any drive with HPE Smart Array SR Secure Encryption and accelerates access to data on HDDs with the HPE Smart Array SR SmartCache license which comes standard with this controller. This type-a modular controller occupies a dedicated storage slot without occupying a PCIe expansion slot and provides enterprise-class storage performance, reliability, security and efficiency needed to address your evolving data storage needs. Refurbished HPE Smart Array P816i-a SR Gen10 Controller has increased flexibility with Mixed Mode which operates in RAID and HBA simultaneously and eliminates the expense of having to purchase another controller.

• Increases performance with 4 GB Flash-Backed Write Cache and reduces latency in write-intensive applications that require heavy logging such as databases
• Enhances performance in storage environments where data is read repeatedly from a large number of SSDs by using HPE SSD Smart Path to create a faster I/O path between the controller and SSD
• Accelerate access to data in HDD environments by caching hot data onto SSDs with HPE Smart Array SR SmartCache (included feature)
• Prreserve data integrity with HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge, which alerts you to potential drive issues before a drive fails
• Long-term data retention with 4 GB Flash-Backed Write Cache for improved data reliability
