Accelerated Data Transfer

The P420i supports SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) technology, which enables faster data transfer rates compared to traditional SATA (Serial ATA) drives. This means that your server can handle heavy workloads and demanding applications with ease, ensuring smooth data processing and reduced latency.

Increased Storage Capacity

The Smart Array P420i supports up to 8 SAS or SATA drives, providing you with ample storage capacity for your business needs. Whether you're storing large databases, multimedia files, or critical business data, this storage controller can accommodate your growing storage requirements.

RAID Configuration Options

With the P420i, you have the flexibility to configure RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) levels based on your specific needs. RAID offers data protection by distributing data across multiple drives, ensuring that your data remains accessible even in the event of a drive failure. The P420i supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, allowing you to choose the level of fault tolerance and performance that suits your applications.

Advanced Management Features

The P420i comes with advanced management features that simplify storage administration and monitoring. You can easily configure and manage your storage arrays through HPE Smart Storage Administrator (SSA), a user-friendly interface that provides a comprehensive view of your storage infrastructure. Additionally, the P420i supports online capacity expansion and online RAID level migration, allowing you to adjust your storage configuration without disrupting operations.

Improved Data Protection

By utilizing advanced RAID features such as data mirroring and parity, the P420i ensures the integrity and availability of your data. In the event of a drive failure, the controller can automatically rebuild the data using redundant information, minimizing downtime and reducing the risk of data loss. This level of data protection is crucial for businesses that rely on continuous access to their critical information.

High Scalability

As your business grows, so do your storage needs. The P420i offers high scalability, allowing you to add additional drives or expand existing arrays without impacting performance. This scalability ensures that your server can adapt to your evolving storage requirements, providing a future-proof solution that can grow with your business.
