The MR (MegaRAID) and SR (Smart Array) controller families use different management tools and cannot be installed together in the same server. With a tri-mode U.3 backplane, both series support SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives, allowing mixed drive types in one system. This server has no built-in hardware RAID, so a storage controller is required for any RAID functionality — direct-attached SATA drives without one run in AHCI mode only.

SR Series (SmartRAID)

SR Series
Installation Service Manual

The SR series on this server is limited to one option: HPE Smart Array E208e-p SR Gen10

Type-p (PCIe plug-in) form factor only

8 external SAS lanes, no cache — used for connecting external SAS storage, not internal drive management

No battery or capacitor required (no cache to protect)

MR Series (MegaRAID) - View PDF

MR Series
Installation Service Manual

Available in type-o (OCP) and type-p (PCIe plug-in) form factors

Flash-Backed Write Cache (FBWC), requiring a separate energy pack (battery or hybrid capacitor)

MR932i-p (900 series): PCIe Gen5, up to 32 SAS/NVMe drives, onboard battery included

MR200/400 series supports SAS/SATA HDD and SSD only — no NVMe

---

Choosing Between MR and SR

• HPE MR200/400 RAID controllers support SAS & SATA drives
• MR932i-p supports NVMe
• Need OCP slot deployment → MR type-o only
• Simple RAID, no cache needed → MR216i-o or MR216i-p
• Need cache, moderate drive count → MR408i-o or MR416i-o/p
• Maximum drive count or throughput → MR932i-p
• External SAS storage → E208e-p (Gen10, type-p, external only, no cache)

Intel® VROC (Virtual RAID on CPU) is a software-based RAID solution for direct-attached NVMe SSDs, run through the CPU instead of a hardware storage controller.
