Product Code:AJ746A?3TB-SATA

The MSA2000 offers many distinct features such as the ability to mix SAS and SATA RAID sets (volumes) within the same enclosure greatly increases the flexibility and economy of assigning mission-critical data and archival data to the proper drive type. The wide variety of RAID levels supported assures the user of just the right level of performance and protection demanded by his application. The capability of implementing controller-based snapshots and clones affordably brings enterprise-class functionality into smaller departments, remote locations, and small but growing companies. The MSA2000i is a member of HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array offerings, delivering simple and affordable storage technology to meet today's demanding and growing IT needs. These storage solutions offer excellent price/performance and availability features for direct attach environments, small clusters, workgroups and entry-level SAN environments. Each solution is designed to be easy to deploy, secure, with low management costs, while driving rapid return on investment

The MSA2000i is an iSCSI GbE connected 2U storage area network (SAN) solution designed for small to medium size deployments or remote locations. It comes in two models - a basic single controller model for low initial cost with the ability to upgrade later; and a model with dual controllers standard for maximum performance. Each model comes standard with twelve drive bays able to simultaneously accommodate 3.5-inch enterprise-class SAS drives and archival-class SATA drives. Additional capacity can easily be added when needed by attaching up to three MSA2000 12 bay drive enclosures. Maximum raw capacity ranges from 3.6TB SAS or 9TB SATA in the base cabinet, to over 14.4TB SAS or 36TB SATA with the addition of the maximum number of drive enclosures
