HP Dynamic Smart Array is a RAID solution combining a storage host bus adapter (HBA) and proprietary software components.
Eliminating most of the hardware RAID controller components and relocating advanced RAID algorithms from a hardware-based
controller into device driver software lowers the total solution cost, while still maintaining comparable RAID protection and full
compatibility with Smart Array disk format, configuration utilities, and management/monitoring software.
The Dynamic Smart Array controllers share the same easy and consistent UI with standup Smart Array controllers, thus making storage
management and deployment easier for IT workers.
