HPE P816i-a SR Gen10 RAID SAS 12Gb/s 16-Port
Here is the complete, professional English product datasheet and technical profile for the HPE Smart Array controller.
HPE Smart Array P816i-a SR Gen10 12Gbps 16-Port SAS/SATA Modular Controller
Product Overview:
The 836261-004 (with Option Part Number 804338-B21) is an enterprise-class, high-performance Smart Array Gen10 storage controller. It features 16 internal SAS/SATA lanes across 4×4 internal ports, an integrated 4GB Flash-Backed Write Cache (FBWC), and is bundled with the HPE Smart Array SR Secure Encryption license. Built in the “a” (Flexible/Modular Slot) form factor, this controller provides maximum storage scalability, advanced RAID capabilities, and premium performance features without consuming a standard PCIe expansion slot.

Performance & Security Features
-
Premium Data Security: Includes the HPE Smart Array SR Secure Encryption enterprise-class license, providing a controller-based data-at-rest encryption solution for all drives connected to the controller.
-
4GB FBWC: Uses flash memory instead of older battery-backed cache systems. In the event of a sudden power loss, data cached in the 4GB buffer is instantly written to non-volatile flash memory via a supercapacitor unit (HPE Smart Storage Battery, sold separately).
-
HPE Smart Array SR SmartCache: Includes a built-in caching license that allows high-speed SSDs to act as a cache pool for slower HDD volumes, significantly boosting read/write IOPS for hot data workloads.
-
Mixed Mode Operation: Simultaneously supports RAID logical drives and HBA (Host Bus Adapter) pass-through mode on a single controller, allowing flexible deployment options.
Server Architecture Compatibility
The Type-a modular form factor is custom-tailored for HPE ProLiant Gen10 Rack and Tower Servers with designated modular array slots:
-
HPE ProLiant DL Series: DL360 Gen10, DL380 Gen10, DL385 Gen10, DL560 Gen10
-
HPE ProLiant ML Series: ML350 Gen10
-
HPE Apollo Systems: XL450 Gen10
