HPE MSA 2070 SAN Storage 46TB

The HPE MSA 2070 is a 2U rack-mountable SAN storage array designed for small-to-medium businesses needing shared block storage. It ships with twelve 3.84TB SAS SSDs installed, delivering 46.08TB of raw capacity for virtualised workloads and databases.

Fibre Channel interface practical limits

Dual 32Gb/s Fibre Channel four-port controllers provide eight host ports, each requiring matching 32Gb/s SFP+ transceivers and OM3 or OM4 fibre cabling for full speed. Performance scales with queue depth and I/O size; the array supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 for data protection.

Pre-order compatibility checklist

Verify that your host servers have available 32Gb/s Fibre Channel HBAs and that your SAN switches support 32Gb/s ports with the correct zoning configuration. Ensure the rack provides 2U of space and dual power circuits for the redundant 580W supplies. Confirm OS compatibility with Windows Server, VMware vSphere, Red Hat Linux or SUSE SLES.
