Modular Chassis
2U rack height. 12 Large Form Factor or 24 Small Form Factor drive
bays, accommodating SAS and SATA. Comes with space for one or
two controllers, or MSA2000 3.5-inch disk Enclosure I/O modules (LFF
chassis only).
Drives available
The new MSA2300sa G2 controller supports both the MSA2 3.5-inch
Large Form Factor (LFF) drives, or the HP ProLiant 2.5-inch Small
Form Factor (SFF) drive
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) enterprise-class drives designed for high
volume, 24x7 usage. Serial-ATA (SATA) are usually reserved for
archival of data as they are both relatively inexpensive and are available
in very large capacities. The MSA2000 family of arrays can
accommodate both SAS and SATA drives within the same enclosure
making it ideal to have both business-critical, high activity files on SAS
drives while using snapshot or clone capability to keep back-up data on
the less expensive drives.
For investment protection, the MSA2300sa G2 controller will support
single port SAS & SATA drives in a single-domain MSA70. This support
allows current owners of MSA70s to migrate their single port drives (in
their MSA70 only) to be attached to an MSA2000sa G2. They can only
cascade to another single I/O MSA70. This is not a data-in-place
transition.
