FAQs

Q: What is the HPE MSA 2070 SFF Storage Array best suited for?
A: The HPE MSA 2070 SFF is ideal for small to mid-sized businesses requiring reliable shared block storage for virtualisation (VMware, Hyper-V), databases, and mixed workloads. Its dual-controller design provides redundancy without the complexity or cost of enterprise-class storage systems.

Q: What host connectivity does the MSA 2070 P89072-B25 provide?
A: This model includes two 12Gb SAS controllers, each with two SAS host ports, providing four total SAS ports for host connectivity. Hosts must be equipped with compatible 12Gb SAS HBAs to connect to the array.

Q: Does the HPE MSA 2070 support SSD drives for performance tiering?
