MSA 2060 LFF Drive Enclosure
This 2U enclosure is designed to support twelve HPE Storage LFF drives and accepts MSA dual-ported 12Gb SSD, Enterprise SAS,
or SAS Midline hard drives. The pre-configured MSA 2060 LFF Drive Enclosure has two I/O modules and supports the MSA 2060
Storage systems.
• The MSA 2060 LFF Drive Enclosure can be attached to the MSA 2060 LFF or SFF Storage systems.
• Each MSA 2060 LFF Drive Enclosure ships standard with two .5m mini-SAS HD to mini-SAS HD cables for connection to
the MSA 2060 array expansion port or existing drive enclosure cascade port.
• LFF and/or SFF drive enclosures can be mixed up to the maximum of nine drive enclosures
HPE MSA 2060 SFF Drive Enclosure
This 2U enclosure is designed to support twenty four HPE Storage SFF drive and accepts MSA dual ported 12Gb SSD, Enterprise
SAS, or SAS Midline hard drives. The pre-configured MSA 2060 SFF Drive Enclosure has two I/O modules and supports the MSA
2060 Storage systems.
• The MSA 2060 SFF Drive Enclosure can be attached to the MSA 2060 LFF or SFF Storage systems.
• Each MSA 2060 SFF Drive Enclosure ships standard with a two .5m mini-SAS HD to mini-SAS HD cables for connection
to the MSA 2060 array expansion port or existing drive enclosure cascade port.
• LFF and/or SFF drive enclosures can be mixed up to the maximum of nine drive enclosures.
Scalability
• LFF configurations can scale up to 192TB SAS Midline per array enclosure, expandable to 1.92PB SAS with the addition
of a maximum of nine MSA 2060 LFF Drive Enclosures.
• SFF configurations can scale up to 92.1TB per array enclosure, expandable to 921.6TB with the addition of a maximum
of nine MSA 2060 SFF Drive Enclosures.
Disk Group
A Disk Group is a collection of disks in a given redundancy mode (RAID 1, 5, 6, 10, MSA-DP+). Disk Group RAID level and size can
be created based on performance and/or capacity requirements. Multiple Disk Groups can be allocated into a Storage Pool for
use with the Virtual Storage features.
LUNs
The MSA 2060 arrays support 512 volumes and up to 512 snapshots in a system. All of these volumes can be mapped to LUNs.
Maximum LUN sizes up to 140TB. Thin Provisioning allows the user to create the LUNs independent of the physical storage.
Storage Pools
Storage Pools are comprised of one or more Disk Groups. A volume’s data on a given LUN can now span all disk drives in a pool.
When capacity is added to a system, users will benefit from the performance of all spindles in that pool.
The MSA 2060 supports large, flexible Volumes with sizes up to 128TiB and facilitates seamless capacity expansion. As pools are
expanded data automatically reflows to balance capacity utilization on all drives.
