HPE H240 12Gb SAS Controller

The HPE 761873-B21 H240 is a 12Gb SAS controller with two internal connectors providing eight internal SAS ports. It installs in a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot and supports RAID levels 0, 1 and 5. The plug-in card form factor suits HPE ProLiant servers requiring internal storage expansion.

Suits servers needing internal RAID

This module suits administrators adding SAS RAID to a compatible HPE server with an available PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and internal drive bays. It is not for systems lacking a suitable PCIe slot or for configurations that require external SAS connectivity. Buyers needing more than eight internal ports or a different form factor should look at other options.

Deciding spec: 12Gb SAS with RAID 0 1 5

The single specification that decides fit is the 12Gb SAS controller supporting RAID 0, 1 and 5 across eight internal ports via two connectors. Confirm the server has a free PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot and that the backplane matches the connector layout before purchase.
