I need some help on a ML310e Gen8 v2. I am new to HP Servers
I need to present a quotation for an upgrade.
I can't find available old P222 or P420 which are in the compatibility list
The only controller that I can get is the P440 (820834-B21)
Is this compatible with this Server - (OS is ESXi 5.5 - don't want to change if I can help it).
I was considering this controller with two "HPE 480GB SATA RI SFF SC DS SSD" (P04474-B21).
I have another problem: the cage is LFF, I was considering not connecting the SSDs to the backplane and using a Mini SAS to 4xSata cable. Any advice on this ?
Re: ML310e Gen8 v2 - which raid controller compatible
Hi,
P440 is not compatible with Gen 8.
HP Smart Array P420 Controller and HP Smart Array P222 Controller are the only options available as per the server quickspecs.
"The cage is LFF, I was considering not connecting the SSDs to the backplane and using a Mini SAS to 4xSata cable. Any advice on this ?" it does not seems to be a supported option.
