HPE MSA 2060 Gen6 28.8TB SAS storage array

The HPE MSA 2060 Gen6 is a 2U rack-mount SAN storage system with twelve 2.4TB SAS hard drives installed for 28.8TB raw capacity. It targets small and remote offices that need affordable shared storage with room to grow.

Dual 580W redundant power supplies

Two 580W redundant power supplies feed the base array and any attached enclosures. The platform accepts up to 24 SFF drives per enclosure and supports both enterprise SAS HDDs and SSDs in the same chassis.

2x 10/25GbE iSCSI 4-port controllers

The array ships with two 10/25GbE iSCSI 4-port controllers and four 10Gb iSCSI SFP+ transceivers included. Expansion enclosures attach via 12Gb SAS, allowing up to nine additional units for larger deployments.

Questions about this item

How do I install the HPE MSA 2060 Gen6 into a standard rack, and which step is often missed?

Mount the 2U chassis using the included rails, connect the two 580W redundant power supplies to separate circuits, then link the 2 x 10/25 GbE iSCSI 4-port controllers to your network; the step often missed is registering the array in HPE InfoSight for automatic firmware baseline alignment.

What maintenance or replacement will the installed 12 x 2.4TB SAS drives need later?

The 28.8TB of factory-installed SAS drives are field-replaceable hot-swap units; monitor SMART alerts via the management UI and replace any drive that reports predictive failure — no scheduled media refresh is required.

What limit appears first under sustained write workloads on this array?

The dual 10/25 GbE iSCSI controller ports and the 12 Gb/s SAS backend set the sustained throughput ceiling; once aggregate write IOPS approach the rated 395000 IOPS, latency rises before the drive media saturates.
