P02377-B21 storage device HPE P02377-B21

The HPE Smart Storage Hybrid Capacitor is a battery-free technology for power storage that provides data protection for cached data while eliminating costs and environmental impact of lithium-ion batteries.

For those running HPE Gen10 servers, the HPE Smart Hybrid Capacitor is a centralized backup power source supporting multiple controllers where the NAND flash memory on HPE Smart Array Performance Class controllers and the HPE Smart Hybrid Capacitor work together to save cached data in the event of unplanned server power loss.

When the hybrid capacitor module detects power loss it keeps critical parts of the controller active long enough to allow data to be copied from the onboard controller cache to the flash memory.
