HPE MSA 2070 SFF 2U Storage Array

The HPE MSA 2070 SFF is a 2U rack-mount storage system designed for general-purpose server workloads. It arrives populated with twelve 1.92 TB SAS read-intensive SSDs delivering 23.04 TB of raw flash capacity. Dual 12 Gb SAS 4-port controllers provide redundant connectivity and clustering support. The platform suits organisations that need a compact, all-flash foundation for virtualisation or database tasks.

Ideal For Flash-First Deployments.

This array fits teams that want immediate SSD performance in a 2U chassis with room to grow to 24 drives. Buyers who require 3.5-inch drive support, larger single-controller configurations or non-SAS host connectivity will need a different platform. The 580 W redundant power supplies and certified OS list cover Windows Server, VMware vSphere, Red Hat Linux and SUSE SLES environments.

Dual 12 Gb SAS 4-Port Controllers Define

The decisive specification is the pair of 12 Gb SAS 4-port storage controllers that set the host interface, path redundancy and expansion protocol. If your infrastructure uses 12 Gb SAS fabric and can leverage the installed 2.5-inch SSD bays, this system matches the requirement; otherwise the controller interface will not integrate.

Questions about this item

What rack height does the 2U MSA 2070 SFF require for mounting?

The MSA 2070 SFF occupies 2U of rack space in a standard four-post cabinet.

How are the dual 580W power supplies connected during installation?

Each 580W supply plugs into its own AC circuit so redundancy is maintained if one feed fails.

When should the 1.92 TB SAS read-intensive SSDs be replaced?

Replace drives when the controller reports media wear or SMART thresholds are exceeded.
