Twelve LFF bays and 32 Gb Fibre Channel host connectivity define the S3T79A, an HPE MSA 2070 32Gb Fibre Channel LFF storage array in a 2U chassis. The carton holds the chassis, two MSA 2070 controllers, two redundant 580W AC power supplies, two 1.5 m PDU cords (IEC C14) and a rack-mount kit.
Each controller has four host ports, which makes eight per array, and the pair works active/active with 48 GB of system cache. SFPs are separate. At least one 32 Gb Fibre Channel 4-pack is required, and the matching option is the S3Y23A MSA 32Gb SFP+ Short Wave Fibre Channel 4-pack; an array can be configured with four or eight SFPs.
Expansion takes up to nine MSA 2U drive enclosures, LFF and SFF mixed freely. A fully LFF system tops out at 120 drives and 2.88 PB raw. Self-encrypting options for LFF bays are a 1.92 TB SSD and a 12 TB hard drive.
This model is one of the MSA 2070 family that supports self-encrypting drives. RAID 1, 5, 6, 10 and MSA-DP+ are available, plus RAID 0 for read cache only. Other arrays sit in the HPE storage systems category.
