Fault Prevention	The following features offer detection of possible failures before they occur, allowing preventive action to be taken: Predictive drive failure detects possible drive failure before it occurs, allowing replacement of the component before failure occurs. Background surface scan checks drives during inactive periods and automatically remaps bad sectors, ensuring data integrity. HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge reports the amount of lifetime remaining on your SSDs.
Fault Recovery	Minimizes downtime, reconstructs data, and facilitates a quick recovery from drive failure 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.
HPE SSD Smart Path	The HPE SSD Smart Path feature included in the Smart Array software stack improves Solid State Disk (SSD) read performance by up to 4x. HPE SSD Smart Path chooses the optimum path to the SSD and 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.
HPE Smart Array SR Secure Encryption (optional license)	HPE Smart Array SR Secure Encryption is a Smart Array controller-based data encryption solution that protects sensitive, mission critical data. This is an enterprise-class encryption solution for data-at-rest on any drives attached to the HPE Smart Array controllers including data on the controller cache. Secure Encryption requires an optional license per server (see Related Options for more information on the license). The solution is available for both local and remote key management mode deployments. Local Key Management Mode is focused on single server deployment where there is one Master key per controller that is managed by the user. Remote Key Management Mode is for enterprise wide deployments from just a few servers to thousands of servers. For more information on please visit: http://www.hpe.com/servers/secureencryption
FIPS 140-2 Cryptographic Module Validation	FIPS provides a security assurance level validation for cryptographic modules. This HPE Smart Array SR Gen10 Controller is a cryptographic module that is currently on the Validation Program FIPS 140-2 Implementation Under Test List. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issue the FIPS 140-2 requirements and standards for cryptography modules that include both hardware and software components.
