The HPE Smart Array P824i-p MR Gen10 Controller, a 12 Gb/s SAS RAID controller with 24 SAS lanes, provides enterprise-class storage scalability to meet your growing capacity needs. It delivers data protection with advanced RAID levels and includes 4 GB FlashBacked Write Cache (FBWC). It also offers enterprise-level performance and scalability for up to 24 internally attached SAS and SATA drives without the need for the SAS Expander Card providing point to point connectivity to SSDs for lower latency.
The P824i-p MR Controller uses a new, user-friendly web-based interface called HPE MR Storage Administrator (MRSA) that makes it easy to configure, monitor, maintain, and troubleshoot drives.
