Smart Array P420I RAID mezzanine controller

The HP Smart Array P420I is a PCIe 3.0 mezzanine storage controller designed for server integrators who need hardware RAID on a compact form factor. It provides eight gigabits per second of throughput for internal drive arrays. The module installs directly into a compatible server mezzanine slot without consuming a full-height PCIe slot.

Questions about this item

What does the 8 Gb rating mean when the controller is installed in a server?

The 8 Gb figure is the per-lane signalling speed of the PCIe 3.0 link; actual throughput depends on the number of lanes allocated by the system board and the RAID level configured.

How does the PCIe 3.0 interface limit performance in practice?

PCIe 3.0 caps each lane at 8 GT/s, so total bandwidth scales with the lane count the mezzanine slot provides — typically four or eight lanes in supported HP servers.
