The HPE S1H46A delivers iSCSI block-level storage connectivity via 10GBASE-T copper, positioning this solution as a cost-effective alternative to Fibre Channel for mid-market and enterprise hybrid storage deployments. Built on the HPE MSA 2070 platform, this 2U rack-mount system combines dual active-active controllers with 4 GB of mirrored write cache per controller, delivering consistent performance across SAS HDD and SAS SSD workloads. The storage array accommodates 24 SFF (2.5-inch) drive bays natively and scales to a maximum raw capacity of up to 184.8 TB when paired with additional MSA SFF or LFF expansion enclosures, making it suitable for organizations requiring substantial tiered storage without excessive footprint overhead.
Storage architects and IT procurement teams responsible for VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Windows Server environments will find the S1H46A particularly attractive, as it supports comprehensive RAID levels 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, and 50 to match diverse recovery and performance requirements. The system's software feature set—including automated tiering, snapshots, thin provisioning, remote replication, and volume copy—enables efficient capacity management and business continuity across the stack. HPE's integrated management approach via the MSA Storage Management Utility (web GUI and CLI), combined with SMI-S support, simplifies administration for teams operating heterogeneous infrastructure. The redundant hot-swap power supply design ensures operational continuity, while CE, FCC, and RoHS compliance satisfies regulatory obligations across global markets.
For organizations evaluating enterprise-grade iSCSI storage that balances density, reliability, and feature breadth, the HPE S1H46A (part number S1H46A) represents a proven platform backed by HPE's ecosystem support.
