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 Smart SSD wear gauge reports the amount of lifetime remaining on users 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
|
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 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 |
