HPE MSA 2070 SFF 23.04TB SSD Array

The HPE MSA 2070 Gen7 is a 2U SAN storage system pre-populated with twelve 1.92TB SAS SSDs for a total of 23.04TB installed capacity. It targets small and medium businesses needing affordable, high-performance shared storage for virtualised workloads. Dual 32Gb Fibre Channel 4-port controllers provide host connectivity and path redundancy out of the box.

Sustained performance with dual controllers

Dual active controllers and twelve read-intensive SSDs deliver consistent throughput for mixed enterprise workloads under continuous load. The Gen7 architecture supports online firmware updates for drives and controllers, reducing maintenance windows without interrupting I/O. Redundant 580W power supplies maintain operation during a single supply failure.

Verify Fibre Channel fabric and rack space

Confirm your SAN fabric supports 32Gb Fibre Channel and that 32Gb SFP+ transceivers match your switch port speeds. The array occupies 2U of rack height and supports up to nine additional 2U expansion enclosures for SFF or LFF drives. Ensure compatible operating systems such as Windows Server, VMware vSphere, Red Hat Linux or SUSE SLES are in use.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 580W supplies draw when the array runs continuously?

The system includes two redundant 580W power supplies; actual draw depends on drive workload and enclosure count.

Which host-side cabling must I provide for the 32Gb Fibre Channel ports?

Four 32Gb short-wave SFP+ transceivers are included; you supply OM3/OM4 fibre patch cables with LC connectors.

Can the 12Gb SAS SSDs coexist with 6Gb SAS drives in the same enclosure?

The 24-bay SFF enclosure supports mixed SAS speeds; 12Gb and 6Gb drives operate at their native link rates.
