The Smart Array Advantage

HPE's innovative design and integration work of the Smart Array family of products creates customer value that is unmatched in the industry. Use of Smart Array products across multiple applications results in a much lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) than any other server storage RAID product. The HPE Smart Array family brings an unparalleled return on investment through:

Data Compatibility among most current shipping Smart Array controllers allows simple and easy upgrades any time needs for higher performance, capacity, and availability increase. Even successive generations of Smart Array controllers understand the data format of other Smart Array Controllers.

Consistent Configuration and Management Tools. Most current shipping Smart Array products utilize a standard set of management and utility software. These tools minimize Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by reducing training requirements and technical expertise necessary to install and maintain the HPE server storage.

SmartDrive Carrier is for use across multiple Hewlett Packard Enterprise servers, Universal Hard Drive form factor is for disk enclosures and storage systems. With compatibility across many enterprise platforms, you are free to deploy and re-deploy these drives to quickly deliver increased storage capacity, migrate data between systems, and easily manage spare drives.

Pre-Failure Warranty means HPE Insight Manager not only reports when a drive is going to fail but allows replacement of failing drives prior to actual failure. For complete details, consult the HPE Support Center or refer to your HPE Server documentation.

• MIPS 32-bit Processor
• Read ahead caching
• Flash Backed Write-back Cache

Native Command Queuing

Native Command Queuing (NCQ) is a technology designed to increase performance of SATA hard disk drives by allowing the individual hard disk to internally optimize the order in which received read and write commands are executed. This can reduce the amount of unnecessary going back-and-forth on the drive's heads, resulting in increased performance for workloads where multiple simultaneous read/write requests are outstanding, most often occurring in server or storage-type applications. Without NCQ the drive has to process and complete one command at a time. For NCQ to be enabled, it must be supported and turned on in the controller and in the hard drive itself.

Capacity

Given the increasing need for high performance and rapid capacity expansion, the SA-P222 offers:

• Up to 12TB of internal storage with 4x internal 3TB 3.5" SAS/SATA LFF hard drives and up to 144TB of external storage with 4x HPE D2600 Disk Enclosures and 48 x 3TB 3.5" SAS/SATA LFF hard drives.

• Online Advanced Capacity Expansion (with Smart Array Advanced Pack 2.0 upgrade)
• Online RAID Level Migration (with FBWC )
• Online Stripe Size Migration (with FBWC)
• Global Online Spare
• Pre-Failure Warranty

Fault Prevention

The following features offer detection of possible failures before they occur, allowing preventive action to be taken:

• S.M.A.R.T.: Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology first developed at HPE detects possible hard disk failure before it occurs, allowing replacement of the component before failure occurs.
• Drive Parameter Tracking monitors drive operational parameters, predicting failure and notifying the administrator.
• Dynamic Sector Repairing continually performs background surface scans on the hard disk drives during inactive periods and automatically remaps bad sectors, ensuring data integrity.
• Smart Array Cache Tracking monitors integrity of controller cache, allowing pre-failure preventative maintenance.

Fault Tolerance

Keeps data available and server running while a failed drive is being replaced; several fault tolerance configurations are supported including:

• RAID 6 (Advanced Data Guarding): Supported with a minimum of 4 drives. This allocates two sets of parity data across drives. This level of fault tolerance can withstand a double drive failure without downtime or data loss.
• RAID 60: Supported with a minimum of 8 drives. This volume is composed of two or more RAID 6 sub-volumes (parity groups) where data is striped across each parity group as if it were a single physical drive. Each RAID 6 parity group can sustain up to two drive failures without incurring data loss.
• RAID 5 (Distributed Data Guarding): Supported with a minimum of 3 drives. This allocates one set of parity data across drives. This level of fault tolerance can withstand a single drive failure without downtime or data loss.
• RAID 50: Supported with a minimum of 6 drives. This volume is composed of two or more RAID 5 sub-volumes (parity groups) where data is striped across each parity group as if it were a single physical drive. Each RAID 5 parity group can sustain a single drive failure without incurring data loss.
• RAID 1 & 10 (Drive Mirroring): Supported with a minimum of 2 drives. This allocates half of the drive array to the data and the other half to the mirrored data, providing two copies of the data.
• RAID 1 ADM & 10 ADM (Advanced Data Mirroring): Supported with a minimum of 3 drives. RAID 1 ADM creates redundant copies of the data using 3 drives. RAID 10 ADM stripes data across two or more sets of RAID 1 ADM volumes. This level of fault tolerance can withstand a double drive failure within a RAID 1 ADM volume without downtime or data loss.

Fault Recovery

Minimizes downtime, reconstructs data, and facilitates a quick recovery from drive failure

• 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 corrects against single bit data and address corruption.
• Flash Backed Write Cache upgrade provides indefinite data retention

Ease of Use

Consistency and upgradeability on most current shipping Smart Array products make them unique in the industry:

• GUI based configuration, management and diagnostic software tools with the HPE Smart Storage Administrator
• Common data format between generations of products
• Data migration between servers and external Modular Smart Array enclosures and HPE Disk Enclosures
