HPE Smart Array P441 12Gb SAS RAID Controller 4GB FBWC

Brand:
HPE

HPE Smart Array P441 is a low-profile PCIe Gen3 x8 external SAS RAID controller with 4GB Flash-Backed Write Cache. Its two external x4 Mini-SAS HD ports provide eight physical links for scalable storage connectivity in supported HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Apollo environments.

OVERVIEW

  • The HPE Smart Array P441 (726825-B21) is a low-profile PCIe Gen3 x8 SAS RAID controller designed to connect supported HPE servers with external SAS/SATA storage infrastructure. Its 12Gb/s SAS capability, 4GB FBWC and two external x4 Mini-SAS HD ports provide a practical combination of performance, cache protection and external expansion. Unlike the internally focused P440, the P441 is purpose-built for external storage connectivity, while its eight physical links provide more connectivity flexibility than lower-link external Smart Array options.
  • For procurement teams modernizing supported ProLiant Gen9 or Apollo deployments, it can extend storage capacity without replacing the server platform, making it relevant for virtualization, backup, file services and storage-intensive workloads. The controller supports RAID and HBA modes, multiple RAID levels, online RAID migration and global online spare functionality, supporting operational continuity and storage lifecycle management.
