Brand: HPE · SKU: 784308-B21 · MPN: 784308-B21 · Category: Components
Factory Integrated Option (FIO) part number for enabling HPE Smart Array SW RAID functionality on compatible HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers, such as the BL460c Gen10. This software RAID solution provides essential data protection and performance optimization features like RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 on SATA drives connected to the embedded HPE Smart Array S100i SR Gen10 Software RAID controller. Note that the S100i Software RAID typically only supports Windows; Linux users may need an alternative solution or in-distro open-source software for RAID 1 boot volumes. This is an enablement part, not a physical hardware component like a drive or controller card.
