About This Product
Overview
The HPE Smart Array P440ar RAID Controller is an integrated storage controller built for HPE ProLiant Gen9 server platforms. Designed for use in systems such as the DL360 Gen9 and DL380 Gen9, it provides a practical hardware RAID option for organizations that need dependable drive management within a compatible server environment. With support for both SAS and SATA drives, this controller offers flexibility for mixed storage configurations while keeping the storage layer organized through hardware-based RAID processing. Its integrated design makes it a strong fit for server builds where internal expansion, efficient drive control, and compatibility with HPE Gen9 infrastructure are important considerations. For IT teams maintaining or upgrading Gen9 servers, the P440ar helps support structured storage deployment without adding unnecessary complexity.
Performance & Scalability
Built around a 12Gb/s SAS interface, the P440ar is designed to support fast communication between the controller and attached drives, helping maintain responsive storage performance in compatible Gen9 systems. Hardware RAID offloads array management tasks from the host system, which can be beneficial in environments where server resources need to stay focused on core workloads. The controller supports multiple RAID levels, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, giving administrators the flexibility to choose between performance, redundancy, and capacity efficiency based on the needs of the deployment. The inclusion of 1GB cache with FBWC support further contributes to storage handling by helping improve write operations and supporting data protection features associated with cache-backed designs. This makes the controller suitable for server storage setups that require a balance of speed, resilience, and manageable expansion.
Storage Flexibility
One of the key advantages of the HPE Smart Array P440ar is its support for both SAS and SATA drives, allowing it to work across a range of storage media types within the same compatible server platform. That flexibility can be useful when building arrays for different workloads, whether the goal is higher performance, larger capacity, or a combination of both. Because it is designed for HPE ProLiant Gen9 servers, the controller fits naturally into supported systems such as the DL360 Gen9 and DL380 Gen9, making it a practical choice for replacement, upgrade, or maintenance scenarios. The range of supported RAID levels also gives administrators room to tailor storage layouts to specific operational requirements, from simple mirrored configurations to more advanced parity-based arrays.
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 Gen9 servers. It combines SAS and SATA support, a 12Gb/s interface, and hardware RAID functionality in a form factor intended for server integration. For businesses and IT departments working with DL360 Gen9 or DL380 Gen9 platforms, it offers a straightforward way to manage internal storage with support for several RAID levels and cache-backed operation. If you are maintaining an existing HPE Gen9 environment or replacing a controller in a supported server, this model provides the features needed to keep storage organized and aligned with the platform’s design.

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.
