MSA50 is a 1U Serial Attach SCSI (SAS) disk drive storage enclosure supporting Small Form Factor (SFF) SAS or Serial ATA (SATA) drives. The all new SFF drive carrier is designed to support the new Universal form factor hard drive in either SAS or SATA. This new form factor provides optimized performance per U of space while delivering unparalleled power consumption. The MSA50 enclosure supports direct attach storage to HPE ProLiant Servers. The MSA50 supports the cascading of shelves in a 1+1 configuration to allow a maximum of 20 SFF drives in a 2U configuration attached to a single controller port. This single controller port incorporates four lanes for a total max throughput of 12 Gb/s for SAS.
The Serialized nature of SAS combined with the highest spindle count per U of rack space allows the MSA50 to achieve the greatest I/Os per second when compared to parallel SCSI.
The MSA50 will be the first SAS/SATA SFF JBOD product that will offer a level of availability sufficient for the Enterprise and a price structure that is attractive to SMB.
The MSA50 allows mix and match SAS or SATA drives within the same enclosure. Thus making technology transitions simple and cost effective.
Universal SFF drives and similar physical characteristics between SAS and SATA drives allow customers to mix/match SAS and SATA in the same enclosure and allow the same drives to be used in servers and external storage.
Potential Upgrade path for a HP MSA50 is as easy as swapping out the I/O Module on the back of the unit. The unit must be powered down to replace the I/O Module.
A benefit of SAS and SATA is the use of a common physical connection which allows for both drive types to be mixed together on the same backplane. This common backplane allows customers the choice of using SAS and/or SATA and helps deliver HP's message of industry leading innovation, reliability, adaptability, and performance by allowing customers to choose the reliability of SAS or the lower cost of SATA for tiered storage.
