DL380G9 with a Smart Array P440ar controller and Hpe 724864-B21 + NVMe SSDs

[ImGroot]

I have a DL380G9 server with a Smart Array P440ar controller and Hpe 724864-B21 DL380 G9 2Bay SFF Drive Cage. I can install two NVMe SSDs recommended by HP and make a raid out of them?

Hi ImGroot,

   Yes, DL380 Gen9 Support the 2 bay drive cage (Refer this ).  
   As per my understanding, NVMe disks will not be supported by hardware RAID controllers (like P and H series).  So Smart Array P440ar controller will not help us in creating RAID using NVMe disks.
    Only OS Level you can create the Software RAID in OS level.
