HP's High Performance Architecture sets new boundaries of industry performance expectations!
B120i
B320i
Given the increasing need for high performance and rapid capacity expansion, the HP Dynamic Smart Array
Controllers offer:
Up to 32TB of total internal storage with 8 x 4TB LFF SATA hard drives
Up to 9.6TB of total internal storage 8x 1.2TB SFF SAS hard drives (B320i with SAS license)
Provides increased server uptime by providing advanced storage functionality:
Online RAID level migration (between any RAID level/with FBWC )
Online drive firmware upgrade
Pre-Failure Warranty
The following features offer detection of possible failures before they occur, allowing preventive action to
be taken:
S.M.A.R.T.: Self-Monitoring and Reporting Technology first developed at HP detects possible hard
disk failure before it occurs, allowing replacement of the hard drive before a real failure occurs.
Drive Parameter Tracking monitors drive operational parameters, predicting failure and notifying
the administrator.
Dynamic Sector Repairing continually performs background surface scans on the hard disk drives
during inactive periods and automatically remaps bad sectors, ensuring data integrity.
Smart Array Cache Tracking monitors integrity of controller cache, allowing pre-failure preventative
maintenance.
Keeps data available and server running while a failed drive is being replaced; several fault tolerance
configurations are supported including:
RAID 5 (Distributed Data Guarding): Supported with a minimum of 3 drives. This allocates one set of
parity data across drives. This level of fault tolerance can withstand a single drive failure without
downtime or data loss.
RAID5 is available on the B120i/B320i with 512MB FBWC
RAID 1, 1+0, 10 (Drive Mirroring): Supported with a minimum of 2 drives. This allocates half of the
drive array to the data and the other half to the mirrored data, providing two copies of the data.
