Product Description
The HP K2R79A is a high-capacity, enterprise-grade storage solution from the HP Modular Smart Array (MSA) 2040 series. This specific model is the Small Form Factor (SFF) version, equipped with 24 drive bays designed to accommodate 2.5-inch SAS hard drives. The configuration includes 24 x 900GB SAS HDDs, providing a substantial raw storage capacity of 21.6 Terabytes. This makes it suitable for demanding environments that require significant storage for data-intensive applications, virtualization, and large datasets. Central to the MSA 2040's performance and reliability are its dual controllers. These controllers provide high availability, load balancing, and enhanced performance by allowing for parallel processing of I/O operations. The system utilizes a 12Gb/s SAS interface, which offers significantly higher data transfer rates compared to previous SAS generations, ensuring that storage performance keeps pace with modern server and application demands. The 2U rack-mountable form factor allows for efficient integration into standard data center racks. Beyond its raw capacity and speed, the HP MSA 2040 platform is known for supporting a suite of advanced data services. These often include features like snapshots for data protection and point-in-time recovery, volume copy for data migration, and remote replication for disaster recovery scenarios. These capabilities, combined with the robust hardware, make the K2R79A a versatile and powerful storage solution for businesses seeking performance, scalability, and data resilience.
