HPE MSA arrays you can configure
MSA Gen7 — current
HPE MSA 2070
2U · 24 SFF or 12 LFF · 7.37 PB raw (SFF) · 48 GB system
Current-generation MSA — roughly double the random IOPS of Gen6 and ~30% more bandwidth, with MSA-DP+ distributed RAID and 48 GB of system cache. The default new-buy entry SAN.
HPE MSA 2072
2U · 24 SFF or 12 LFF · 7.37 PB raw (SFF) · 48 GB system
MSA 2070 with bundled SSDs and the Advanced Data Services suite — automated tiering, read cache and snapshots included. The value pick if you want flash acceleration out of the box.
MSA Gen6
HPE MSA 2060
2U · 24 SFF or 12 LFF · 7.37 PB raw (SFF) · 24 GB system
Proven Gen6 MSA with MSA-DP+ distributed RAID and 16Gb FC / 10GbE iSCSI connectivity. A cost-effective new array where Gen7 headroom is not required.
HPE MSA 2062
2U · 24 SFF or 12 LFF · 7.37 PB raw (SFF) · 24 GB system
Gen6 MSA 2060 with bundled SSDs for a ready-made hybrid flash tier — a low-cost route to flash-accelerated block storage.
MSA Gen5 — refurbished (supportable to 2028)
HPE MSA 2052
2U · 24 SFF or 12 LFF · 614 TB raw (SFF) · 8 GB/ctrl (16 GB array)
Re-certified Gen5 MSA shipping with ~1.6 TB of SSD and the Advanced Data Services suite included. The best-value refurbished MSA — supportable to 2028, around half the price of new.
HPE MSA 2050
2U · 24 SFF or 12 LFF · 614 TB raw (SFF) · 8 GB/ctrl (16 GB array)
Re-certified Gen5 MSA dual-controller SAN — flexible block storage for virtualisation, file and backup, with the performance tier licensed as needed.
MSA prior gen — refurbished (TPM)
HPE MSA 2040 / 2042
2U · 24 SFF or 12 LFF · ~576 TB raw (SFF) · 4 GB/ctrl
The cheapest route into an MSA SAN — past OEM support (EOSL 2023), so best paired with third-party maintenance and a spares pool for non-critical workloads.
Frequently asked questions
Can I configure both new and refurbished MSA arrays?
Yes — use the New / Refurbished toggle at the top. New covers the current MSA Gen7 (2070/2072) and Gen6 (2060/2062); Refurbished covers re-certified Gen5 (2050/2052), which HPE supports to 2028, plus the prior 2040 generation for third-party-maintenance budgets. The drive, RAID and connectivity options adapt to the array you pick.
How accurate is the usable-capacity figure?
It is a close indication. We multiply your raw capacity (drive size × quantity) by the RAID tier’s overhead — 50% for mirror (RAID 1/10), (n−1)/n for RAID 5, (n−2)/n for RAID 6, and a distributed-spare allowance for MSA-DP+. Real usable capacity also depends on pre-formatting, spare disks and pool layout, so Servnet confirms the exact figure on your quote.
Which RAID level should I choose?
On Gen6/Gen7 we recommend MSA-DP+ — HPE’s distributed RAID rebuilds far faster than classic parity, which matters with large drives. RAID 6 (dual parity) is the safe classic choice for big HDD pools; RAID 10 suits write-heavy, latency-sensitive workloads; RAID 5 maximises capacity for read-mostly data. The configurator only offers the RAID tiers your chosen array supports.
Fibre Channel, iSCSI or SAS — which host connectivity?
Fibre Channel (16Gb, or 32Gb on Gen7) suits established FC fabrics and the lowest-latency block access; 10/25GbE iSCSI runs over standard Ethernet and is the most flexible and cost-effective; 12Gb SAS is the simplest, lowest-cost option for direct-attach to one or two servers. 25GbE iSCSI and 32Gb FC are Gen7 options.
Does Servnet supply and support the MSA in the UK?
Yes — Servnet is a 24-year HPE partner. We quote, supply, optionally install/configure (RAID, pools, host mapping) and support the MSA across the UK. New arrays come with HPE Tech Care; refurbished arrays carry a Servnet warranty with third-party-maintenance options for end-of-support hardware.
Is this a price or just a configuration?
It builds a validated configuration and a request for quote — there is no live price shown. Save or share your build by link, then request a quote and our UK team responds within one business day with pricing and availability.
