HPE MR416i-p Gen10 Plus x16 Lanes 4GB Cache NVMe/SAS 12G Controller

The HPE P06367-B21 is a tri mode RAID controller card made for ProLiant Gen10 Plus servers that need a balance of speed, capacity, and data protection. Because it works with NVMe, SAS, and SATA drives on the same backplane, you can start with a small all flash set and later expand to storage pools that mix different media without changing the controller.

Two internal ports that present as x16 lanes allow the card to address up to 240 physical drives and create 64 logical volumes. This flexibility makes it possible to carve performance tiers, capacity pools, or mirrored clusters inside the same chassis.

A PCIe Gen4 x8 host interface keeps bandwidth open, while 4GB of onboard cache smooths random traffic and write bursts. That combination helps virtualization stacks, database servers, and analytics workloads stay responsive even when the system is under pressure.

Hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 are included, letting you tune each volume for throughput, redundancy, or both. Support for encrypted drives adds a security layer, and you can apply firmware updates online without taking the server offline.

Setup and monitoring are straightforward through MegaRAID Storage Administrator, a UEFI configuration tool, or native utilities in Windows, Linux, and VMware. The card fits a PCIe slot that follows the half height and half length guideline, so it drops into most HPE Gen10 Plus platforms without brackets or special cabling.

In practice, the controller suits any environment that mixes high speed workloads with the need for dependable uptime. Use it in a virtualization host that relies on NVMe scratch space, a database node that demands consistent IOPS, or an edge device that must tolerate a wide range of drive types. A three year parts warranty backs every deployment.
