The HPE Smart Array Gen10 Controller portfolio, which includes S-Class, E-Class, and P-Class controllers, is designed for HPE Gen10 servers (ProLiant DL, ML, and Apollo) to maximize storage performance, security, efficiency, and reliability. They support 12Gb/s SAS and 6Gb/s SATA protocols, operate in Mixed Mode (simultaneous RAID and HBA/JBOD), and offer features like HPE Smart Array SR Secure Encryption for data-at-rest protection. Performance models (P-Class) offer advanced RAID levels (up to 0/1/5/6/10/50/60/1 ADM/10 ADM) and come with up to 4 GB Flash-Backed Write Cache (FBWC). The controllers use a PCIe 3.0 I/O slot and can support up to 24 internally attached SAS or SATA drives without an expander card in some configurations. Management is typically done via HPE MR Storage Administrator (MRSA).

HPE Smart Array Gen10 Controllers enhance server storage by delivering up to 1.6 million IOPS (65% better performance than Gen9) while using less power. They are categorized into S-Class (Software RAID, e.g., S100i), E-Class (entry-level RAID), and P-Class (Performance RAID, e.g., P408i-a, P824i-p MR). The P-Class controllers support the most advanced RAID levels, including 50 and 60, and require an HPE Smart Storage energy pack (sold separately) for high-performance models. They are compatible with HPE ProLiant Gen10/Gen10 Plus servers and Apollo servers.
