HPE Refurbished

HPE 779134-001 H240 12Gb/s PCIe 3.0 x8 SAS smart host bus adapter

SKU CH-QGAV-M9B0Z MPN 779134-001

Adds eight internal SAS ports at 12 Gb/s over PCIe 3.0 x8 for HPE Gen9 servers

  • 12 Gb/s SAS throughput from PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface
  • Eight internal SAS ports via two mini-SAS connectors
  • Supports 6 Gb/s SATA devices alongside SAS drives
  • Plug-in card form factor fits standard server slots
  • Compatible with DL80 Gen9 and ML110 Gen9 servers

H240 12Gb/s PCIe 3.0 x8 SAS HBA

The HPE H240 is a refurbished smart host bus adapter that plugs into a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot. It provides eight internal SAS lanes through two mini-SAS connectors for direct attachment of SAS or SATA drives. The card targets administrators expanding internal storage on compatible HPE ProLiant Gen9 servers.

Two internal mini-SAS ports for eight lanes

The dual x4 mini-SAS ports break out to eight total SAS channels supporting 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA signalling. No cache module is supported so the adapter operates in pure HBA mode presenting drives directly to the operating system. This simplifies driver stacks for software-defined storage or JBOD configurations.

Plug-in card form factor for Gen9 ProLiant

The low-profile plug-in card fits standard PCIe slots in listed DL80 Gen9 and ML110 Gen9 chassis without requiring additional brackets. Internal cabling connects from the mini-SAS ports to backplanes or drive cages inside the same enclosure. Buyers needing external ports or RAID cache should evaluate a different adapter class.

Questions about this item

Will the two internal mini-SAS connectors on the H240 12Gb/s HBA need periodic replacement?

The two internal x4 mini-SAS ports are soldered to the board and have no moving parts, so they do not require scheduled replacement under normal use.

What throughput ceiling appears first when the H240 runs sustained workloads?

The adapter is rated for up to 12 Gb/sec per SAS lane and 6 Gb/sec per SATA lane, so the per-lane signalling rate is the first hard limit under continuous load.

How much heat does the H240 add when it runs all day in a server?

As a passive plug-in card without an onboard fan, the H240 relies on the server chassis airflow for cooling and adds only the heat typical of a PCIe 3.0 x8 SAS controller.
