726757-B21 Overview

Inside some HPE ProLiant Gen9 machines sits a small card called the HPE H240ar - built to handle quick connections between drives using SAS or SATA. Instead of saying "and," think of it linking things through speed, one port after another. Two ports open doors to internal storage spinning or flashing data at 12 gigabits every second. Fitted neatly into a special slot, it follows the shape known as Flexible Smart SAS HBA. Eight pathways carry information inside, feeding hard disks or solid-state drives without delay. While most see it working just as a host bus adapter, quietly moving data back and forth, it also offers basic RAID setups: zero, one, five - patterns that spread or mirror stored bits.
