HPE MSA 2060 SAN Storage 240TB

The HPE MSA 2060 is a 2U rack-mount storage array populated with twelve 20TB SAS hard drives for 240TB of raw capacity. It includes dual 16Gb Fibre Channel 4-port controllers and four SFP+ transceivers for immediate SAN connectivity. Designed for small or remote offices, it delivers flash-ready hybrid performance with redundant 580W power supplies.

Suits entry shared storage; not for block mirroring

This system fits organisations that need affordable, easy-to-manage shared storage with Fibre Channel host access and the option to expand using SFF or LFF enclosures. It supports Windows Server 2016 through 2022, VMware vSphere 6.7, Red Hat 8 and SUSE SLES 15. Buyers who require native storage mirroring or Systems Insight Manager integration should evaluate other platforms.

Dual 16Gb FC 4-port controllers decide fit

The array ships with two 16Gb Fibre Channel 4-port controllers, providing eight host ports for SAN attachment. If your infrastructure uses a different host protocol such as iSCSI or 12Gb SAS, this specific model will not match your cabling and HBA requirements. Confirm the host interface before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 12-bay LFF or the 24-bay SFF enclosure for expansion?

The base unit holds 12 LFF drives; you can add up to nine 12-bay LFF enclosures or 24-bay SFF enclosures in any mix.

What does the 395,000 IOPS figure mean for my workloads?

That is the peak array performance with a full flash configuration; actual IOPS will vary with your drive mix and workload profile.

How does the 16 Gb Fibre Channel interface limit real throughput?

Each of the eight controller ports runs at 16 Gb/s Fibre Channel, so aggregate bandwidth is capped by the number of active host links.
