HPE MSA 2070 SFF 2x16Gb FC 4-port Controller 12x1.92TB SSD 4x16Gb SFP FC XCVR 23TB Storage Array
The HPE MSA 2070 SFF is an entry-level shared storage array designed to provide simple, high-performance and cost-effective storage for small and medium businesses. This 2U rack system accepts 2.5" drives and supports both SSD and HDD media, offering flexible capacity and performance options. The configured unit includes dual 16Gb Fibre Channel controllers, twelve 1.92TB SSDs and four 16Gb SFP FC transceivers, delivering approximately 23 TB of raw flash capacity in a compact footprint.
The MSA 2070 SFF delivers accelerated application performance with all-flash storage while maintaining an affordable entry point for shared storage. It supports modern host connectivity including 16/32 Gb Fibre Channel and 10/25 GbE iSCSI, and offers scalable media options that enable higher raw capacities. Firmware update features and accessible health-check tools simplify routine maintenance and reduce administrative effort.
This array is aimed at entry-level and midrange deployments; very large enterprise environments with extremely high performance or advanced enterprise features may require larger or more feature-rich storage platforms. Organizations that need the absolute maximum raw capacity per array without flash density considerations may prefer high-capacity HDD-focused arrays instead.
Install the 2U chassis in a standard rack and connect power and network fabrics according to your environment. Attach hosts using supported Fibre Channel or iSCSI ports; configure RAID and virtual volumes through the MSA management interface. Monitor system health with the integrated MSA Health Check tool and apply online firmware and media updates as recommended to maintain performance and reliability.
For best results, pair the HPE MSA 2070 SFF with HPE ProLiant servers and use the recommended Fibre Channel or 10/25 GbE iSCSI connectivity. Choose all-flash configurations for latency-sensitive workloads and consider mixed media only when higher raw capacity at lower cost is required. Regularly run the MSA Health Check and apply firmware updates to ensure stability and performance.
Set up and manage your HPE MSA storage quickly with the intuitive HPE MSA Storage Management Utility (SMU). Guided workflows and a clear graphical interface walk you through array setup in minutes, while a simplified dashboard gives at-a-glance views of alerts, performance, and capacity.
Gen7 enhancements make administration easier and safer: online controller and media firmware updates minimize disruption, and faster access to MSA Health Check helps you identify optimization opportunities quickly.
Designed for continuous operation, the system supports hot-swap controllers, drives, and power supplies so upgrades and maintenance can be completed rapidly with minimal downtime.
HPE MSA Gen7 delivers significantly improved performance for an entry-level platform—designed to accelerate applications and reduce response times. Compared with the previous generation, Gen7 offers up to twice the random IOPS and up to 30% more sequential bandwidth for faster data access.
Automated, real-time data tiering for hybrid configurations places hot data on SSDs and cooler data on HDDs, helping you gain large IOPS improvements with a modest SSD investment. In hybrid setups you can see up to a 4x IOPS increase versus HDD-only arrays.
HPE MSA-DP+ advanced RAID technology spreads spare capacity across all drives in a disk group to avoid idle spares and dramatically speed rebuilds—delivering much faster recovery times and improved resiliency during drive failures.
Choose the right mix of SSDs and HDDs and expand as needs grow. The HPE MSA architecture supports SSDs, Enterprise SAS HDDs, and Midline SAS HDDs so you can balance performance and cost across 2.5" drives.
Available Gen7 array models and value-driven solution bundles for hybrid-flash and all-flash deployments provide a cost-effective path to high performance from Day 1.
Reduce time spent on routine maintenance with HPE MSA Health Check, a cloud-based tool available to all MSA users at no extra charge. It analyzes system logs and compares configurations to HPE best practices so you can focus resources on business outcomes.
