Description
Performance & Speed
The HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array P2000 is a 12-bay storage enclosure designed for use in small and medium-sized businesses. The device has a 3.5 inch drive bay and uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface for connectivity to a host server.
In terms of performance, the HP P2000 can deliver fast data access speeds due to its use of SAS drives and its support for RAID configurations, which allow multiple drives to work together to improve performance. The device also supports various RAID levels, such as RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, which can provide different levels of performance, data redundancy, and capacity utilization, depending on the specific needs of the user.
In terms of speed, the HP P2000 is designed to provide fast data transfer rates, with its SAS interface capable of supporting data transfer speeds of up to 6 Gbps. The device also supports multiple host connections, which can help to further improve performance by enabling multiple servers to access the same storage enclosure.
