Standard Features
The Smart Array Advantage | HP's innovative design and integration work within 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 HP Smart Array family brings an unparalleled return on investment through: | |
Data Compatibility |
Data Compatibility with future generations of Serial Smart Array controllers will allow simple and easy upgrades any time needs for higher performance, capacity, and availability increase. |
Consistent Configuration and Management Tools |
All 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 HP server storage. | ||
Universal Hard Drive |
A universal hard drive is used across multiple HP ProLiant servers, 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 | Pre-Failure Warranty means Systems 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 HP Support Center or refer to your HP Server documentation. | |||

NOTE: Go to the HP Hard Drive Compatibility table for complete drive compatibility information (http://www.hp.com/products/harddiskdrives). Using hard drives in unsupported configurations will result in voiding the warranty and could result in damage to the drive and/or loss of data. NOTE: There is a known compatibility issue with some early 3.5" SATA HDD that will make them unable to be used with the SA-P800 controller. Customers should verify that they are not using hard drive part number 332649-002/003 (spare 353042-001), 332650-002/003 (spare 353043-001), or 356536-002/003 (spare 353044-001). |

Tape Drives | SAS Tape Drives NOTE: Connecting hard drive cage and SAS tape to the same SAS Controller using split cable (supplied with tape drive) deactivates 1 of the hard drive bays. Actual hard drive bay deactivated depends on where split cable plugs into SAS drive connector. Example: 3x SAS cable connector plugged into SAS drive connector (5-8) on the back of the hard drive cage would mean drive bay 8 is deactivated. |
