Purpose-built unified storage

The HP StorageWorks X1600 is a 2U rack server that delivers file and iSCSI block storage from a single Intel Xeon E5520 2.26 GHz processor. It ships with 6 GB of DDR3 memory in a three-module configuration and 12 x 450 GB SAS drives providing 5.4 TB of raw capacity. The Smart Array P212 controller with 256 MB battery-backed cache manages the array, while dual gigabit ports handle network connectivity. Designed for small to medium IT environments that need consolidated shared storage without a separate SAN.

Suits teams needing simple shared storage

This system fits organisations that want Windows-powered file serving and iSCSI targets for virtualisation or application data in one box. It is not for workloads that demand more than 32 GB of memory, more than two PCIe expansion slots, or 10 GbE networking. Buyers who need dual-processor performance, GPU acceleration, or flash-based media should evaluate alternative platforms.

Capacity and drive interface decide fit

The 5.4 TB SAS array and P212 controller define the storage ceiling and I/O profile. If the application requires larger volumes, different drive types, or a controller with more cache, this unit will not match the requirement.
