D2700 - HP StorageWorks 25-Bay Hard Drive Array

Description

The HP D2700 DAS Array, identified by SKU D2700 and part number QW957A, is a high-density disk enclosure designed to provide scalable storage expansion for HP ProLiant server environments. This Direct-Attached Storage (DAS) solution allows businesses to easily increase their storage capacity without requiring complex network storage configurations. The enclosure is built to accommodate up to twenty-five 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) hard drives or solid-state drives, offering flexibility in configuring storage solutions based on performance and capacity requirements. Key features of the D2700 include support for various RAID levels, enabling administrators to implement data redundancy and improve storage performance. Common RAID configurations such as RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 can be supported, depending on the controller used. The drive bays are hot-pluggable, meaning drives can be added, removed, or replaced without shutting down the server or the storage array, ensuring high availability and minimizing downtime. The '7.50 TB Installed Capacity' mentioned in the title likely refers to a specific pre-configured model or a common deployment scenario, but the array's total capacity depends on the size and number of drives installed. This storage array connects directly to a compatible HP ProLiant server, typically via SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) connections. It is an ideal solution for organizations that need to add significant storage capacity for applications such as databases, virtualization, file sharing, or backup repositories. The D2700's compact form factor and high drive density make it an efficient use of rack space, while its robust design ensures reliability for critical data storage needs.
