HPE P26325-B21 RAID-controller PCI Express x16 SAS SATA

HPE P26325-B21 is a RAID controller with a PCI Express x16 host interface that supports both SAS and SATA drives. It provides hardware RAID functionality with support for RAID levels 0, 1 and 10, allowing a balance of performance and data redundancy for enterprise storage systems.

Advantages

The controller supports PCI Express x16 connectivity and multiple drive types (SAS and SATA), enabling flexible integration into server platforms. Built-in RAID 0, 1 and 10 modes deliver configuration options for increased throughput or mirrored redundancy. Its form factor and interface are compatible with HPE Gen10 Plus environments and similar enterprise servers.

Suitable for

• Enterprise servers requiring hardware RAID for mixed SAS/SATA storage
• Systems where RAID 0/1/10 configurations are sufficient for performance or redundancy needs
• Data centers and business-critical applications needing reliable storage connectivity
