FAQs

Q: What is the HPE SN1720E SecureHBA and what does it do?
A: The HPE SN1720E is a dual-port 64Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) that connects HPE ProLiant servers to Fibre Channel SAN storage fabrics. The SecureHBA designation indicates it includes hardware-based security features to protect data transmitted across the FC fabric.

Q: Is the HPE SN1720E compatible with NVMe over Fibre Channel?
A: Yes, the SN1720E supports NVMe over Fibre Channel (NVMe/FC), enabling low-latency access to NVMe-based storage arrays over existing FC infrastructure — ideal for high-performance database and virtualisation workloads.

Q: Which HPE servers support the SN1720E HBA?
A: The SN1720E is designed for HPE ProLiant Gen10 and Gen10 Plus rack and tower servers with a compatible PCIe slot. Always verify compatibility with the HPE Single Point of Connectivity Knowledge (SPOCK) tool for your specific server model.

Q: Will the SN1720E work with existing 32Gb or 16Gb Fibre Channel switches?
A: Yes, the SN1720E auto-negotiates its link speed and can operate at 64Gb, 32Gb, or 16Gb, making it backward compatible with existing FC fabric infrastructure.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE S4T09A in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes, iptrading.com.au is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller supplying HPE products including the SN1720E (S4T09A) to Australian businesses. Contact us for pricing, availability, and volume procurement.

Q: What is the benefit of choosing a 64Gb FC HBA over a 32Gb model?
A: A 64Gb FC HBA delivers twice the per-port bandwidth of a 32Gb adapter, making it ideal for workloads with very high IOPS and throughput requirements such as AI/ML data pipelines, large-scale virtualisation, and high-frequency database transactions.
