Product Technology
MSA 2040 SAN controller
MSA 2040 SAN controller supports 8Gb FC, 16Gb FC, 1GbE iSCSI or 10GbE iSCSI SFPs.
MSA 2040 SAS controller
MSA 2040 SAS controller supports 6Gb and 12Gb SAS host connectivity using mini-SAS HD cables.
Modular Chassis
2U rack height. 12 Large Form Factor or 24 Small Form Factor drive bays, accommodating SSD, SAS and SAS
Midline drives. Comes with space for one or two controllers, or MSA 2040 3.5-inch disk Enclosure I/O
modules (LFF chassis only)
Drives available
The MSA 2040 controllers support both the MSA 3.5-inch Large Form Factor (LFF) drives, and the MSA 2.5-
inch Small Form Factor (SFF) drives.
Solid State Drives (SSDs) deliver exceptional performance for applications requiring high random read
IOPs performance
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) enterprise-class drives are designed for high demand, 24x7 usage.
SAS Midline drives are usually reserved for archival of data as they are relatively inexpensive and are
available in very large capacities.
Optional Disk
enclosures
Just as the user has a choice of chassis for the array head (LFF and SFF drive bays, AC or DC powered), so
also do they have a choice of expansion disk enclosures accommodating either drive size. Both the MSA
2040 and the D2700 disk enclosures can be hot-added to an operating array. SFF and LFF Array heads and
Disk Enclosures can be mixed without limitations.
