HPE 670026-001 – Smart Array P220i RAID Controller

HPE 670026-001 – Smart Array P220i RAID Controller

Overview

The HPE 670026-001 is a Smart Array P220i RAID storage controller designed for HPE ProLiant Gen8 blade server environments. It provides hardware-based RAID functionality to manage internal SAS storage devices with improved reliability and performance.

It supports entry-level enterprise RAID operations, including RAID 0 and RAID 1 configurations, helping ensure basic data protection and redundancy. The controller is optimized for systems requiring stable storage management in blade server architectures.

It is commonly installed in HPE BL-series blade servers where integrated storage control is required for virtualized and database workloads. The controller operates over PCIe architecture and connects to SAS-based drives for internal storage handling.

It is part of HPE’s Smart Array ecosystem, enabling standardized management of RAID configurations across compatible ProLiant server platforms.

Typical Deployment Scenarios

Used in HPE ProLiant BL460c Gen8 blade servers for internal storage management. Common in enterprise virtualization setups, small to mid-level databases, and application servers requiring RAID 0/1 protection. Also deployed in blade chassis environments where centralized storage control is required.
