The HP Smart Array P212 is HP's entry level PCI Express (PCIe) Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) RAID controller. The Low Profile, Half Height card has 8 ports and utilizes
DDR-2/800 memory. The P212 is ideal for RAID 0/1, 1+0 and
can be upgraded with the 256MB battery-backed write
cache (BBWC) module for RAID 5, 5+0, 6 & 60 w/SAAP. |

The following features offer detection of possible failures before they occur, allowing preventive action to be taken:
- S.M.A.R.T.: Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology first developed at HP detects possible hard disk failure before it occurs, allowing replacement of the component before failure occurs.
- Drive Parameter Tracking monitors drive operational parameters, predicting failure and notifying the administrator.
- Dynamic Sector Repairing continually performs background surface scans on the hard disk drives during inactive periods and automatically remaps bad sectors, ensuring data integrity.

Minimizes downtime, reconstructs data, and facilitates a quick recovery from drive failure
- On-Line Spares: Up to two spare drives can be installed
prior to drive failure. If a failure occurs, recovery begins
with an On-Line Spare and data is reconstructed automatically.
Note: On-Line Spares can only be used with RAID level 1, 1+0,
and 5, 5+0, 6 & 60 w/SAAP

Consistency and Upgradeability make the Smart Array family unique in the industry:
- GUI based configuration, management and diagnostic software tools
- Common data format between generations of products
- Data migration between servers and external storage enclosures
- Full size and low profile brackets ship with the controller for flexibility
Data compatibility
Data compatibility between models of Smart Array Controllers means customers can easily upgrade to future Smart Array, SAS products to get higher performance, capacity and availability. Unlike competitive products, successive generations of Smart Array products understand the data format of other Smart Array controllers, providing investment protection for your HP storage solution.
