This is the HPE Smart Array E208i-c SR Gen10 (8 Internal Lanes/No Cache) 12G SAS Modular Controller, option number 823852-B21. It has 8 SAS lanes across an internal SAS port and no write cache, and as a type-c modular controller it does not occupy a mezzanine slot.
HPE Synergy 480 Gen10 and Synergy 660 Gen10 compute modules support it. When a Synergy 480 Gen10 compute module is selected in the factory configuration step, one of three options has to be chosen: this E208i-c, the 804424-B21 Smart Array P204i-c controller or the 873165-B21 M.2 FIO adapter board kit.
RAID levels are 0, 1, 5 and 10 in Mixed Mode, which runs RAID logical drives and HBA physical drives together. SAS and SATA drives mix on the controller at 12Gb/s and 6Gb/s, over PCI Express 3.0 x8, with up to 238 physical drives and up to 64 logical drives. SAS tape drives are supported, and Secure Encryption is an optional license. Synergy controller alternatives are in HPE server interface cards.
