HPE MSA 2070 2U 12 × 1.92 TB SAS SSD Array

The HPE MSA 2070 is a 2U SFF storage array that ships with twelve 1.92 TB SAS SSDs delivering 23.04 TB of raw capacity. It includes dual 16 Gb Fibre Channel four-port controllers and four 16 Gb FC SFP+ transceivers for host connectivity. The platform supports clustering and runs on Windows Server, VMware vSphere, Red Hat Linux and SUSE SLES.

Suits SMBs needing simple shared block storage

Organisations that want an affordable, high-performance SAN for virtualised workloads will find the included SSDs and controllers ready to deploy. Buyers who need more than 24 SFF drive bays per enclosure or who require a different host protocol should evaluate other platforms.

Dual 16 Gb FC four-port controllers

The array provides two 16 Gb Fibre Channel controllers, each with four ports, and comes populated with twelve read-intensive SAS SSDs. This controller-and-drive combination determines the performance envelope and the immediate capacity available without adding expansion enclosures.

Questions about this item

What host bus adapters and cables are required to connect the dual 16 Gb Fibre Channel controllers?

The array ships with four 16 Gb Fibre Channel SFP+ transceivers; you must provide host bus adapters that support 16 Gb Fibre Channel and OM3 or OM4 multimode fibre cables for each host port.

Can the twelve installed 1.92 TB SAS SSDs coexist with mechanical drives in the same enclosure?

Yes, the 2U chassis accepts up to 24 small form factor drives, so the existing SSDs can share the enclosure with additional SAS HDDs or SSDs up to the 24-drive limit.

How do I verify the array is healthy after initial configuration?

Run the HPE MSA Health Check tool from the management interface; it reports controller status, drive health, firmware versions and connectivity for the 23.04 TB SSD pool.
