FeaturesPeformance12Gb/s SAS (1200 MB/s theoretical bandwidth per physical lane. 6Gb/s SATA (600 MB/s theoretical bandwidth per physical lane) Mixed Mode Supports Mix-and-match SAS and SATA drives to the same controller. Supports Mixed Mode (RAID logic drives and HBA physical drives simultaneously).Seamless upgradeSeamless upgrades from HPE Smart Array Software RAID and to HPE Smart Array P-class Controllers.Background surface scanChecks drives during inactive periods and automatically remaps bad sectors, ensuring data integrityRecovery ROMThis 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 operatingOn-Line SparesIf a failure occurs, recovery begins with an On-Line Spare and data is reconstructed automatically.
