HPE 804341-001 – Smart Array P816i-a SR Gen10 RAID Controller

Overview

The HPE 804341-001 is a Smart Array P816i-a SR Gen10 RAID controller designed for enterprise HPE ProLiant servers. It provides hardware-based RAID processing to manage SAS and SATA storage drives with high reliability and performance.

It supports advanced RAID levels and uses a 4GB flash-backed write cache to protect data integrity during system failures or power loss. This ensures cached write operations are safely preserved.

The controller is used in Gen10 server platforms where high-throughput storage performance and scalable drive connectivity are required. It connects through PCIe 3.0 x8 interface for high-speed data transfer.

It is typically deployed in enterprise data centers for virtualization, databases, and storage-intensive workloads requiring high availability and redundancy.

Typical Deployment Scenarios

Used in HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers for RAID-based storage configurations. Common in virtualization clusters, database systems, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise storage environments where high-speed SAS/SATA drive management is required.
