A: No. If you are using vSAN, you bypass the hardware RAID controller. vSAN handles its own caching with its own SSD tier.

For latency-sensitive applications (like SQL Server or Oracle), Smart Cache can cut read latency from 6–10 milliseconds (HDD) down to <1 millisecond (SSD).

Please generate and provide the corresponding activation key(s) . The key must be compatible with [OS & HPE Smart Array Controller firmware version, if known].

Smart Cache provides performance levels approaching that of an all-flash array but at a fraction of the cost. It offers the lowest possible latency for HPE ProLiant servers, which is critical for:
