HPE P84180-B25 MSA 2070 SFF 2U rack server 12 x 3.84TB SAS SSD 2 x 580W PSU

Ready-to-deploy 2U SAN

The HPE MSA 2070 SFF array arrives as a 2U rack system with dual 12Gb SAS 4-port controllers and redundant 580W power supplies. Twelve 3.84TB SAS SSDs are factory-installed, delivering 46.08TB of usable capacity. The platform supports Windows Server, VMware vSphere, Red Hat Linux and SUSE SLES for immediate integration into general-purpose workloads.

Scales to 24 drives with HDD expansion

Twenty-four 2.5-inch bays allow the installed SSD count to double or be supplemented with spinning media up to a raw ceiling of 1.8PB. Organisations that need a compact block-storage tier with room to grow will fit this chassis; buyers who require more than four external SAS ports per controller or a unified file-and-block appliance should evaluate other platforms.

Dual 12Gb SAS 4-port controllers

Each of the two active-active controllers presents four external 12Gb SAS ports, providing the sole host connectivity path for the array. Confirm that your host bus adapters and switch fabric match this port count and protocol before purchase.
