Description
High-Speed Data Transfer with SAS Interface
HPE MSA storage arrays use SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface for high-speed data transfer. SAS is a point-to-point protocol that connects hosts to storage devices, such as disk drives and solid state drives (SSDs). It is a faster and more reliable alternative to SATA (Serial ATA) for connecting disk drives in enterprise storage systems.
The latest generation of SAS interface is 12 Gbps, which is faster than the previous 6 Gbps SAS. HPE MSA storage arrays can support 12 Gbps SAS interfaces, which allows for faster data transfer rates and improved performance for applications that require high I/O operations. Additionally, the 12 Gbps SAS interface also offers improved scalability and backwards compatibility with the previous 6 Gbps SAS.
SAS interface also allows multiple initiators to connect to multiple targets, providing a high-availability option and enabling easy scaling of storage capacity.
Form Factor for Increased Compatibility
The 3.5-inch form factor is a standard size for hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid state drives (SSDs) used in servers and storage arrays, including HPE MSA. This form factor is commonly used in enterprise storage systems because it provides a larger storage capacity and more robust design compared to the 2.5-inch form factor. Additionally, the 3.5-inch form factor offers increased compatibility, as it is widely used in the industry and supported by a wide range of devices and systems. This allows for easy integration and replacement of disk drives in HPE MSA storage arrays, making it a popular choice for businesses that require high storage capacity and easy manageability.
Data Protection and Recovery
HPE MSA storage arrays can be configured to enhance performance in various ways, such as:
- Using solid state drives (SSDs) for faster data access
- Using Fibre Channel or iSCSI protocols for high-speed data transfer
- Using RAID (redundant array of independent disks) for data redundancy and increased performance
- Using Flash-Optimized and Hybrid storage tiers to increase storage performance
- Using faster disk drives such as 7.2K RPM for faster data access and improved performance for applications that require high I/O operations.
- Using high-speed interfaces such as 12 Gbps SAS for faster data transfer
- Enabling caching and tiering to improve I/O performance.
By using these techniques, HPE MSA storage arrays can deliver improved performance and responsiveness for business-critical applications and services.
