Description

The HPE MSA 2070 Gen7 Disk Storage Array delivers enterprise-class shared storage in a compact 2U, 12-bay large form factor (LFF) chassis, purpose-built for mid-range SAN environments. Equipped with dual active/active 10GBase-T iSCSI controllers (8 copper RJ45 ports per array — no SFPs required), 48 GB system cache, and HPE MSA-DP+ advanced RAID, it delivers up to 2x more IOPS and 30% greater sequential bandwidth than the previous Gen6 generation. Real-time automated data tiering intelligently places hot data on SSDs for up to 4x IOPS improvement with minimal SSD investment, while battery-free cache backup via super capacitors ensures data protection without maintenance overhead.

The MSA 2070 scales to 2.88 PB raw capacity via up to 9 expansion enclosures (120 LFF drives maximum) over a 12 Gb SAS backbone, supporting SSD, Enterprise SAS, Midline SAS, and self-encrypting drives. It is certified for VMware vSphere, Windows Server, Red Hat, and SUSE SLES environments, and supports non-disruptive online firmware updates for zero-downtime operations. Advanced features including Remote Snapshot replication and expanded snapshot counts (up to 512) are available via the Advanced Data Services License.

FAQs

Q: What makes the HPE MSA 2070 10GBase-T iSCSI LFF different from the SFP+ iSCSI model?
A: The 10GBase-T iSCSI model (S1H45A) uses standard copper RJ45 ports — no SFP+ transceivers are required — making it simpler to cable directly into standard 10GbE switches already present in most data centres. The SFP+ variant requires SFP+ transceivers and is suited to fibre or DAC-based switch fabrics. Both deliver the same 10G host bandwidth and dual-controller performance.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE MSA 2070 LFF Storage in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an authorised Australian B2B IT hardware reseller stocking HPE storage solutions including the MSA 2070 range. We deliver nationally — contact our team for pricing, lead times, and volume licensing options.

Q: How scalable is the HPE MSA 2070, and what is the maximum capacity?
A: The MSA 2070 LFF starts with 12 x 3.5-inch drive bays and can scale out to 9 additional expansion enclosures (either 2U LFF 12-drive or 2U SFF 24-drive), supporting up to 120 LFF drives and a maximum raw capacity of 2.88 PB. Expansion uses a 12 Gb SAS backbone for high-throughput interconnects.

Q: Does the HPE MSA 2070 support automated storage tiering between SSDs and HDDs?
A: Yes. The MSA 2070 includes real-time, automated data tiering that dynamically moves hot data to SSD and cold data to HDD within the same array. HPE states this can deliver up to 4x IOPS improvement with a minimal SSD investment compared to all-HDD configurations.

Q: What hypervisors and operating systems are certified for use with the MSA 2070?
A: The HPE MSA 2070 is certified for VMware vSphere, Microsoft Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES). It is also certified for use with HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software for virtualised environments.

Q: What advanced data protection features are available on the MSA 2070?
A: The MSA 2070 includes HPE MSA-DP+ RAID technology, which delivers up to 25x faster drive rebuild times compared to traditional RAID, significantly reducing vulnerability windows. Battery-free cache protection uses super capacitors for safe data flush during power events. Optional Advanced Data Services Licensing adds Remote Snapshot (asynchronous array-based replication) and expands snapshot counts from 64 to 512.
