HPE MSA 2070 SAN Storage System 24-Bay 2U Rack Mount
A 2U rack-mount SAN storage system with 24 drive bays, dual 12Gb/s SAS controllers and RAID support
- 24 drive bays let you scale capacity with HDDs or SSDs
- Dual 12Gb/s SAS controllers provide redundant data paths
- RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 protects data against drive failure
- Clustering support enables high-availability storage pools
- Two 580 W redundant power supplies keep the system running during a power-module fault
HPE MSA 2070 24-Bay SAN Array
The HPE MSA 2070 is a 2U rack-mountable SAN storage system designed for organisations that need consolidated block storage with dual-controller redundancy. It supports up to 24 drives, accepting both 2.5-inch HDDs and SSDs, and ships with zero drives installed so you can populate it to match capacity and performance targets.
Dual 12Gb/s SAS controllers with four external ports
Two 12Gb/s SAS controllers provide active-active failover and four external SAS ports for host connectivity. The chassis includes two redundant 580 W power supplies with C14 connectors. Installation is straightforward in a standard rack, but you must source and install all drives and configure RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 or 10 before the array can serve data.
Sustained throughput with clustering and remote
Under continuous workloads the dual-controller design balances I/O across both nodes, and clustering support lets you scale out by adding a second system. Management runs over Gigabit Ethernet using SNMP, SSH, HTTPS, SFTP and other standard protocols, giving administrators scriptable control during extended operations without relying on a single point of failure.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the two 12Gb/s SAS controllers are active after racking the 2U MSA 2070?
Check the management interface over HTTPS or SSH; both controllers should show online status and the four external SAS ports should report link-up when host cables are connected.
What ships with the S1H48A and what must I order separately?
The chassis includes two 580 W redundant power supplies with C14 connectors and twenty-four empty 2.5" bays; drives, SAS host cables and rail kit are not included.
Which drive mix should I choose for the 24-bay MSA 2070?
All twenty-four bays accept 2.5" HDDs or SSDs in any combination; select capacity and SSD count based on the RAID level — 0, 1, 5, 6 or 10 — required for your workload.
