Modular Chassis
- The modular design of the MSA1500 controller shelf supports up to eight SATA
enclosures on 4 dual channel SCSI I/O cards, or 4 single channel SCSI enclosures, redundant
controllers, 2 Gb Fibre Channel I/O modules, fans and power supplies.

- up to 16.8 TB storage capacity utilizing 56 SCSI hard drives and four MSA30 SCSI
enclosures or up to 24 TB storage capacity utilizing 96 SATA hard drives and eight MSA20 SATA
enclosures.

Performance
- The MSA1500 cs and its components have been designed using the latest in standard 2
Gb interconnects and Fibre Channel technology. Performance tests indicate a transmission rate of up to
30,000 IOPs and bandwidth of up to 200 MB per second.
Fault Tolerance
Fault Tolerance Fault Tolerance
Fault Tolerance
- RAID 6 with HP's Advanced Data Guarding technology (RAID ADG). This is the highest
level of fault tolerance. It allocates two sets of parity data across drives and allows simultaneous write
operations. This level of fault tolerance can withstand two simultaneous drive failures without downtime
or data loss.

DtS Architecture
- DtS (Direct Attach to SAN) architecture is an exclusive MSA1000 and MSA1500 cs
feature that provides a quick and easy way to migrate stored data on SCSI disks protected by most Smart
Array controllers to a MSA1000 or MSA1500 cs storage system.
