HPE MR216i-o Gen11 RAID Controller PCIe 4.0 Without Cache SAS SATA RAID 0,1,10 OCP
£311.99
Optimise the performance and security of your data centre with the HPE MR216i-o Gen11 RAID controller, designed for demanding, virtualised environments. Features — HPE MR216i-o Gen11 RAID Controller Exceptional performance. This PCIe Gen4.0 controller offers up to 13.7 GB/s of bandwidth and supports eight PCIe host lanes, ensuring fast, efficient data transfer for critical applications. The HPE Compute MR range advertises up to 3 million random-read IOPS and 240 000 RAID5 write IOPS on compatible models. These range-wide figures do not specify the performance of this MR216i-o, which does not support RAID5. Compatibility and flexibility. It supports SAS and Serial ATA III interfaces, with RAID 0, 1 and 10 for multiple storage configurations. The OCP NIC 3.0 form factor facilitates integration into modern infrastructure, while the 2x8 LP SlimSAS ports allow robust, scalable connections. Advanced security. Hardware Root of Trust (HWRoT) protects firmware against malicious attacks. DMTF SPDM supports certificate-based authentication with HPE iLO 6 to authenticate firmware. Protection of data at rest depends on using compatible self-encrypting drives. Management and compatibility. Support for professional tools such as MegaRAID Storage Administrator (MRSA), StorCLI and Redfish management enables advanced administration and integration with Windows, Linux and VMware. Ideal for virtualised environments and data centres requiring high availability and performance. This controller is the perfect solution for technicians and administrators seeking a balance of power, security and flexibility. Improve your storage infrastructure and ensure continuity of service.

It manages multiple hard drives and SSDs in RAID configurations to improve performance, redundancy and data security in data centres and virtualised environments. What advantages does it offer over other controllers? It stands out for PCIe Gen4.0 support, its cacheless design, SAS and SATA compatibility, and advanced security functions such as Root of Trust and SPDM authentication, protecting firmware and data. Is it compatible with common operating systems? Yes, it supports Windows, Linux and VMware for integration into heterogeneous infrastructure and virtualised environments. Which RAID levels does it support, and what are their benefits? It supports RAID 0, 1 and 10 for configurations optimising speed, redundancy or a combination of both to protect data and improve performance. It is for you if: You need a robust controller for virtualised environments and data centres. You want high-speed, low-latency PCIe Gen4.0 storage. You value advanced security to protect firmware and data. You need SAS, SATA and multiple RAID levels. It is not for you if: Your infrastructure does not support PCIe Gen4.0 or the OCP NIC 3.0 form factor. You want a controller for home use or basic requirements. You do not need advanced security or professional management. You prefer integrated solutions using SATA storage exclusively.
