HPE MSA 2060 2U rack unit with 24 front 2.5 inch drive bays

HPE

HPE MSA 2060 R0Q74B 16Gb FC 24-bay 2.5" NAS

SKU CH-M7JS-HM07G MPN R0Q74B

24-bay 2.5-inch desktop NAS with dual 16Gb Fibre Channel controllers supporting up to 395000 IOPS

  • 24-bay 2.5" chassis supports mixed HDD and SSD configurations
  • Dual 16Gb Fibre Channel controllers provide redundant high-speed connectivity
  • Clustering capability enables scale-out storage for growing workloads
  • Automated tiering moves hot data to fastest media in real time
  • Up to 395000 IOPS accelerates applications for small to medium businesses

Target workloads

The HPE MSA 2060 is a 2U rack-mountable desktop NAS built for small to medium businesses needing affordable application acceleration. It delivers up to 395000 IOPS and supports hybrid or all-flash configurations from day one. The system includes two 16Gb Fibre Channel controllers and clustering capability for high availability.

Upgrade path

This array replaces older direct-attached storage or entry-level arrays that lack automated tiering and snapshot features. The jump is worth it when workloads demand real-time data movement between HDDs and SSDs without a dedicated storage administrator. It also suits teams consolidating multiple 2.5-inch drives into a single 24-bay chassis.

Interface limits

The dual 16Gb Fibre Channel ports constrain total host bandwidth to the speed of the installed SFP+ transceivers and the switch fabric. Performance scales with the number of active drives, but the controller pair sets a hard ceiling on concurrent host connections. Clustering requires a second MSA 2060 and compatible firmware on both units.

Questions about this item

What rack space does the 2U MSA 2060 need for mounting?

The unit occupies a standard 2U rack slot and includes rails for a four-post cabinet.

Which step is often missed when installing the dual 16Gb Fibre Channel controllers?

Both controllers must be cabled to independent fabrics before the first power-on, otherwise the array boots in degraded mode.

When do the hot-swap 2.5" drive bays or controller modules typically need replacement?

Drives are replaced when SMART alerts indicate wear; controller modules are swapped only if a firmware update cannot clear a persistent fault.
