• The HPE Smart Array P441 Controller delivers 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity on HPE ProLiant Gen9 Servers when connected to 12 Gb/s external storage devices for increased performance in messaging, database or general server applications.
• The HPE Smart Array P441 Controller offers optional HPE Secure Encryption capability that protects data at rest on any bulk storage attached to the controller.
• The HPE Smart Array P441 Controller and the attached storage devices are configured and managed by the easy–to-use HPE Smart Storage Administrator software which is included in the intelligent provisioning of the server.

Are you looking to add additional storage but don't have the room in your server? The HPE Smart Array P441 Controller is a low-profile, PCIe3 x8, 12 Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) RAID controller that provides enterprise-class storage performance, increased external scalability, and data protection for select HPE ProLiant Gen9 rack and tower servers. It features eight external physical links and delivers increased server uptime by providing advanced storage functionality, including online RAID level migration (between any RAID levels) with flash back write cache (FBWC), global online spare, and pre-failure warning. This controller includes transportable FBWC allowing the data in the cache to be migrated to a new controller. The Gen9 controllers support the HPE Smart Storage Battery that allows multiple Smart Array controllers to be supported, resulting in simple upgrade process.

• Increased Performance for Applications
  The HPE Smart Array P441 Controller delivers 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity on HPE ProLiant Gen9 Servers when connected to 12 Gb/s external storage devices for increased performance in messaging, database or general server applications.
  Offers transportable 4GB DDR3-1866 Flash-Backed Write Cache providing up to 14.9 GB/s maximum cache bandwidth to reduce latency in write-intensive applications that require heavy logging such as databases.
  Optional HPE SmartCache provides read and write acceleration for workloads such as databases or web pages.
• Data Protection with Encryption Capability
  The HPE Smart Array P441 Controller offers optional HPE Secure Encryption capability that protects data at rest on any bulk storage attached to the controller.
  Long-term data retention with 4GB Flash-Backed Write Cache (FBWC) for improved data reliability.
  Delivers predictive spare activation for improved rebuild and increased uptime even in a recovery mode.
• Configuration Is Efficient and Simple
  The HPE Smart Array P441 Controller and the attached storage devices are configured and managed by the easy–to-use HPE Smart Storage Administrator software which is included in the intelligent provisioning of the server.
  Data compatibility between the HPE Smart Array Controller family allows simple and easy migration at any time when needs for higher performance, capacity, and availability increase such as migrating an existing just a bunch of disks (JBOD) to a more advanced disk array configuration.
