HPE Smart Array P408e‑p SR Gen10 (8 External Lanes/4GB Cache) 12G SAS PCIe Plug‑in Controller

If you need a controller that can handle heavy data traffic and connect to external drives with no hassle, this one gets the job done. The HPE Smart Array P408e-p SR Gen10 plugs into a PCIe 3.0 slot and supports up to eight external SAS lanes, so you can connect multiple drives through external enclosures. It works with both SAS and SATA drives and lets you run RAID and HBA at the same time, which gives you more flexibility. You also get 4 GB of flash-backed write cache to help protect data in case of power loss. It supports advanced RAID levels, encryption for data-at-rest, and fits right into a Gen10 ProLiant server setup. Just keep in mind the Smart Storage Battery is sold separately.
