Smart array P410i Maximum hard drive capacity

hphp-smart-arrayraid

I've looked for quite a while and for some reason can not find this info anywhere, the HP quickspec document search (Which they recommend) doesn't bring up anything.

I have a proliant DL380 g6, and want to know what the maximum hard drive size is for the smart array P410i controller. (this would be using SATA drives, of course).

Best Answer

For HP-branded drives: Largest LFF: 8T. Largest SFF: 1TB. Basically the largest offered. Once a controller supports >2TiB (2.2TB) drives (i.e. 4K sector drives) it will support any size (up to 16 exabytes).

See http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/gethtml.aspx?docname=c04111725

Relevant notes from that doc:

  • HPE Smart Array Firmware version 5.0 or later is required
  • To use hard drives exceeding 2.2TB, you must create a boot volume using offline ACU version 8.75 or later. HPE Smart Array controllers do not support boot volumes exceeding 2.2TB.
