Compact 2U array for general-purpose workloads
The HPE MSA 2070 SFF delivers 12 installed 7.68TB SAS SSD drives in a 2U rack form factor. Dual 10/25 GbE iSCSI 4-port controllers provide redundant connectivity for Windows Server, VMware vSphere, Red Hat Linux and SUSE SLES environments. Two 580W redundant power supplies maintain uptime during a module failure.
Upgrade from direct-attached
Moving to this array adds dual-controller high availability and 10/25 GbE iSCSI networking that single-controller or DAS solutions lack. The jump is worth it when applications require continuous access during controller maintenance or when consolidation reduces the number of physical enclosures in the rack.
Fits standard 2U rack slots with room to grow
The enclosure occupies a single 2U bay and includes 25 GbE SFP28 transceivers for immediate switch connection. Expansion shelves can scale raw capacity toward 1.84 PB, so the initial 12-drive configuration leaves headroom for future capacity additions without replacing the controllers.

Questions about this item
What rack depth and rails does the 2U MSA 2070 SFF require for mounting?
The array fits a standard 2U rack space; slide rails for the HPE MSA 2070 SFF chassis are needed to secure the 12 x 7.68TB SAS SSD enclosure.
How are the 10/25 GbE iSCSI 4-port controllers and SFP28 transceivers installed, and what step is often missed?
Insert both controllers into the rear slots, then seat the HPE MSA 25Gb SFP28 Short Range 4-pack transceivers; the step often missed is locking each transceiver latch until it clicks.
When should the 580W redundant power supplies or the 7.68TB SAS SSDs be replaced?
Replace a 580W supply immediately if its LED shows amber; the 12 x 7.68TB SAS SSDs should be swapped when SMART media-wear indicators reach the vendor threshold.
