The HPE Smart Array E208e-p SR Gen10 controller makes it easy to connect your server to external drives without overcomplicating things. It supports 12G SAS and PCIe 3.0, so data moves fast and efficiently. With eight external SAS lanes through two Mini-SAS HD ports, you can hook up to SAS or SATA drives in external enclosures. It works with RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10, giving you options for performance or redundancy depending on what you need. It also supports Mixed Mode, so you can run both RAID and HBA setups at the same time. If security is a concern, there's built-in support for encryption at rest. It installs in a standard PCIe slot and works with a wide range of Gen10 ProLiant servers.
