HP HDD 4TB 7.2K 6G SAS DP 3.5 MDL W/MSA2040 TRAY

Overview:

Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is the logical evolution of SCSI including its long-established software advantage and the serial physical connection interface. With enterprise storage requirements escalating and becoming more complex factors such as larger capacity greater density security scalability and accessibility are more critical than ever. Enterprise data centers must be online all the time fulfill requests from numerous users simultaneously allow for constant growth and expansion and be maintained while in operation. Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) meets all these demands while providing the highest performance.

Overview:

HP MSA2 / MSA2000 controller enclosures and large form factor expansion enclosures accept unique HP SAS disk drive modules with different firmware and different trays than other HP storage arrays and Proliant servers. The disk drives have SAS interposers attached to the back which convert the native dual port SAS interface to an SCA-40 connector. While this SCA-40 connector has the same shape as a Fibre Channel (FC) connector - the drives are NOT utilizing the FC protocol. If you look closely at the interposer - the circuitry is rather simplistic and no bridge / translator chip is attached. The interposer is - more or less - acting as a signal filter and port relocator to connect to the MSA2's proprietary backplane.
