HPE MR416i-a Gen10 Plus 4GB Cache NVMe/SAS 12G Controller

The HPE P26279-B21 is a storage controller created for Gen10 Plus servers. It pairs a 4 GB cache with PCIe Gen4 connectivity to move data quickly between the system and NVMe or SAS 12 G drives, giving enterprise workloads the responsive storage path they need.

Sustained bandwidth up to 13 700 MB/s and a peak of 3 million random read IOPS help databases load faster, analytics jobs finish sooner, and virtual machines remain responsive even during heavy consolidation.

Sixteen internal tri-mode ports give administrators the freedom to mix performance and capacity drives in the same chassis. Installation is straightforward because the controller fits the standard x16 PCIe slot used in Gen10 Plus servers.

Support for RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 lets teams choose the balance of speed and redundancy that matches each workload. A 3-year parts warranty from HPE provides added confidence for long-term deployments.

This controller is a natural choice for virtualization clusters that demand low latency, online transaction processing databases that need rapid random reads, and high-performance computing nodes that stream large data sets. It delivers faster storage access without the cost of a full drive overhaul.
