About the HPE MSA 2070 Storage Array
With support for up to 168 drives and a maximum raw capacity of 1.05 PB via LFF HDD expansion, the HPE MSA 2070 Storage Array (part number R0Q75A) positions itself as a mid-to-enterprise tier storage architecture capable of scaling from all-flash performance tiers to high-capacity hybrid configurations. This 2U rack-mount system from HP delivers dual active-active controllers, each with 4 host ports and up to 16 GB of mirrored write cache, making it suitable for organizations demanding availability and consistent I/O throughput across consolidated workloads.
Storage architects and IT procurement teams evaluating mid-range SAN infrastructure will find the MSA 2070 offers flexible host connectivity through 8Gb/16Gb Fibre Channel, 10GbE iSCSI, and 12Gb SAS interfaces, accommodating diverse data center environments. The array supports SFF SAS SSD, SFF SAS HDD, and LFF SAS HDD drive types, enabling tiered capacity strategies. All-flash configurations deliver up to 2.8 million IOPS and 12 GB/s throughput, while built-in data services—thin provisioning, snapshots, remote replication, SSD read cache, and automated tiering—reduce operational overhead. Security-conscious deployments benefit from 256-bit AES data-at-rest encryption and T10-PI end-to-end data integrity. The system integrates with VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Windows Server environments through HPE Storage Management Utility (SMU) GUI, CLI, SMI-S, and REST API interfaces. Redundant hot-plug power supplies ensure continuous operation, while HPE D3710 (SFF) and HPE D3600 (LFF) expansion enclosures connected via 12Gb SAS extend capacity as demand grows.
