H240 12Gb SAS controller module

The HPE H240 is a 12Gb SAS controller module built for internal server storage connectivity. It uses a low-profile PCIe 3.0 x8 form factor and provides eight internal physical links. The card operates in HBA mode or simple RAID mode with RAID 0, 1, and 5 support. Optional HP Secure Encryption is available when running in RAID mode.

Suited for servers needing direct SAS drive

This module suits administrators who want a cost-effective way to connect internal SAS drives without cache-backed acceleration. It does not support cache modules or the advanced features found on Smart Array controllers. Builders who require battery-backed write cache or broader RAID level support should consider a different class of controller.

PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface

The controller connects to the server through a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot. This interface determines whether the card fits the available expansion slot in the target chassis. Verify the slot type and physical clearance before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the H240 12Gb SAS controller module need a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot on the motherboard?

Yes, the host interface is PCI Express 3.0 x8, so the server motherboard must provide that slot for the card to operate.

Will the H240 12Gb SAS controller module work with older 6 Gb/s SAS drives I already have?

The controller runs at 12 Gb/s SAS, and SAS standards are backward compatible, so existing 6 Gb/s drives will function at their native speed.

How can I confirm the H240 12Gb SAS controller module is running in the RAID mode I selected?

Enter the controller BIOS during boot or use HPE Smart Storage Administrator; both show the active RAID level — 0, 1 or 5 — and the array status.
