HPE ProLiant SL270s Gen8 Drives
The HPE ProLiant SL270s Gen8 takes up to eight SFF hot-plug SmartDrive (SC) drives in the front of the tray: SAS and SATA hard drives and SSDs. HPE lists 6G SAS and SATA hard drives, 6G SATA SSDs and 12G SAS SSDs, plus Value Endurance PCIe Workload Accelerators. The controller decides SAS: the tray ships with the HPE H220i Host Bus Adapter (B320i Dynamic Smart Array with FW update), and SAS hard drives on the embedded B320i need the SAS license key BC393A.
- Up to 8 SFF hot-plug drives in the front
- Drives listed: SAS 6G and 12G, SATA 6G
- B320i: RAID 0, 1, 1+0; RAID 5 with 512MB FBWC
- Value Endurance PCIe Workload Accelerators listed
- Optical: external USB through the SUV port only
Bays, carriers and counts on this page are from HPE's QuickSpecs for the SL270s Gen8, document c04123204, Version 28 (October 23, 2017).
Which drives fit the SL270s Gen8
Every bay takes SFF hot-plug SC drives; the controller decides SAS. HPE's maximum counts:
| Bays | Drive carrier | Interfaces | Most drives |
|---|---|---|---|
| SFF hot plugFront of the tray | SmartDrive, SC in the HPE part name | SAS 6G and 12G, SATA 6GSAS hard drives on the B320i need license key BC393A | 8 |
| PCIe cards | HH/HL or FH/HL PCIe Workload Accelerator | Value Endurance (VE) accelerators | HPE gives no count |
| Optical | None inside the tray | USB through the SUV port | External support only |
Which tray and controller? How to tell
- Check the tray. HPE's configure-to-order section lists two SL270s Gen8 SE trays for the s6500 chassis: 739055-B21 (left) and 739056-B21 (right), for E5-2600v2 processors. The document also names the original SL270s Gen8 nodes 654947-B21 and 654948-B21, for E5-2600 processors.
- Count the front bays. Eight SFF hot-plug bays take SC drives.
- Check the controller. The embedded H220i (B320i Dynamic Smart Array with FW update) runs SAS and SATA at up to 6Gb/s; SAS hard drives on the B320i need license key BC393A. HPE's Smart Array P222, P420, P421 and P430 controllers require a 2P configuration.

Three rules before you order
Use SC drives in the front bays
The SL270s Gen8 has eight front SFF hot-plug bays. Every SFF drive HPE lists for it is a SmartDrive drive with SC in the name.
The controller sets the interface
The tray ships with the HPE H220i Host Bus Adapter (B320i Dynamic Smart Array with FW update), for SAS and SATA at up to 6Gb/s. SAS hard drives on the B320i as primary controller need the SAS license key BC393A. HPE's Smart Array P222, P420, P421 and P430 controllers require a 2P configuration.
Mixing SAS hard drives and SAS SSDs
HPE supports mixing standard SAS drives with SAS SSDs in the server, but that limits RAID to two separate RAID 0 volumes. Mixing of other drive types is not supported.
SL270s Gen8 drives FAQ
What drives fit the HPE ProLiant SL270s Gen8?
Up to eight SFF hot-plug SC drives in the front of the tray: SAS and SATA hard drives, SATA SSDs and 12G SAS SSDs. HPE also lists Value Endurance PCIe Workload Accelerators.
Does the SL270s Gen8 support SSDs?
Yes. HPE lists 6G SATA SSDs on SC carriers (Read Intensive, Mixed Use, Write Intensive and a boot SSD), 12G SAS SSDs, and Value Endurance PCIe Workload Accelerators. HPE notes that the drive, controller and backplane should run at the same data transfer rate, or the bandwidth is negotiated down.
How many drives does the SL270s Gen8 hold?
Eight SFF hot-plug drives in the front bays, by HPE's count. Without cache, the B320i supports up to 2 logical volumes (8 physical drives).
Can SAS drives run on the embedded controller?
Yes, with a license. The B320i runs SAS and SATA at up to 6Gb/s, and SAS hard drives on it need the SAS license key BC393A. It supports RAID 0, 1 and 1+0; RAID 5 needs the 512MB cache.
Can I mix SAS hard drives and SAS SSDs?
HPE supports it within the server, but it limits the RAID configuration to two separate RAID 0 volumes. Mixing of other drive types is not supported.
Does the SL270s Gen8 have an optical drive?
No internal one. HPE lists optical drives via USB through the SUV port, external support only.
