About This Product
Overview
The HPE Smart Array P440ar RAID Controller is an integrated storage controller built for HPE ProLiant Gen9 environments, including the DL360 Gen9 and DL380 Gen9. As a hardware RAID controller, it is designed to manage SAS and SATA drives through a 12Gb/s SAS interface, making it a practical choice for server builds that need dependable drive management and flexible RAID configuration. With support for multiple RAID levels, this controller helps align storage layout with different workload needs, whether the goal is data protection, performance, or a balance of both. Its integrated design makes it a strong fit for compatible Gen9 systems where a native RAID solution is preferred for streamlined deployment and centralized storage control.
Performance & Scalability
Built for server use, the P440ar supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, giving administrators a wide range of configuration options for different storage strategies. This flexibility is useful in environments that require either simple mirrored protection or more advanced RAID layouts for larger drive groups. The 12Gb/s SAS interface provides a capable connection path for supported drives, while the 1GB cache with FBWC support is intended to help improve controller responsiveness and maintain data protection features associated with write caching. For organizations maintaining HPE ProLiant Gen9 hardware, this controller can support scalable storage planning without changing the overall platform design, making it suitable for server refreshes, replacements, or expansion within compatible systems.
Storage Flexibility
Because the controller supports both SAS and SATA drives, it offers useful flexibility when building or maintaining server storage. This allows teams to work with drive types that fit their capacity, performance, or budget requirements while still using a single RAID controller platform. The range of supported RAID levels also adds storage flexibility, since different arrays can be configured for redundancy, throughput, or a combination of the two. In compatible HPE Gen9 servers, this can simplify storage planning by allowing the controller to adapt to a variety of deployment scenarios without requiring a separate storage architecture for each use case.
Why Choose This Product?
The HPE Smart Array P440ar RAID Controller is a solid option for users who need a compatible integrated RAID solution for HPE ProLiant Gen9 servers. It combines hardware RAID management, broad RAID level support, and SAS/SATA drive compatibility in a form factor intended for DL360 Gen9 and DL380 Gen9 systems. For IT teams, that means a straightforward way to support server storage with a controller designed for the platform it serves. If you are replacing a failed controller, standardizing a Gen9 server fleet, or building out storage in a compatible chassis, this model offers the core features needed for practical RAID administration and dependable drive organization.

Why Buy a Refurbished Products?
Refurbished enterprise servers offer enterprise-grade performance at a fraction of the new price.
Up to 70% Cost Savings
Refurbished R650xs units deliver identical hardware capability to new, at significantly lower upfront cost — freeing budget for CPUs, RAM, and storage.
Fully Tested & Verified
Every unit undergoes comprehensive hardware diagnostics before dispatch. POST tests, burn-in, memory checks, and power supply verification are standard.
Immediate Availability
Unlike new enterprise servers with lead times of weeks or months, refurbished stock is ready to ship within 24 hours of ordering.
Same Performance
The hardware inside the R650xs performs identically whether purchased new or refurbished. The 3rd Gen Xeon platform, PCIe Gen4, and iDRAC9 are unchanged.
