HP D2000 Disk Enclosures
The HP D2000 Disk Enclosures (hereafter referred to as "D2000") is a family of disk drive storage
enclosure with 6 Gb SAS host connectivity. The D2000 is a 2U direct attach, external storage solution
designed for small to medium size deployments or remote locations. These enclosures deliver industry-
leading availability, storage density, and upgradeability to meet customers' demanding and growing
storage needs. The D2000 delivers the ideal mix of low-cost and high capacity, for minimum I/O workloads
such as reference data, archival, and disk-to-disk backup.
High Levels of Storage
Density, Data Protection,
and Functionality
Storage Capacity
- The SFF D2700 disk enclosure supports up to 25 (twenty five) 6Gb SFF SAS
drives for a maximum capacity of 30 TB with 6G 1.2 TB SAS drives or 25 TB with 1 TB 6G SAS MDL or
1 TB 3G SATA MDL drives. D2700 also supports SAS SLC and MLC Solid State Drives. Number of Solid
State drives is limited to twenty five (25) per controller. The LFF D2600 disk enclosure supports up
to 12 (twelve) 6G LFF SAS drives for a maximum capacity of 7.2 TB with 6G 600GB SAS drives or 48
TB with 6G 4 TB SAS MDL or 3G 4TB SATA MDL drives.
Data Protection
- D2000 is designed for a high level of data protection. It includes redundant fans
and power supplies (standard), and supports various RAID levels including RAID6 with ADG, 50 & 60
(depending upon the Smart Array Controller used)
Storage Manageability
- The D2000 features familiar configuration and management tools such as
Array Configuration Utility (ACU) and HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM). Online Management
Features include: Online Capacity Expansion, Online RAID Level Migration, Online Stripe Size
Migration, Online Spares (Global)
Choice of Computing Platform
- The D2000 is designed and qualified for HP ProLiant servers
Advanced Data Guarding
(RAID 6 with ADG)
Fault Tolerance
- It allocates two sets of parity data across drives and allows simultaneous write
operations. This level of fault tolerance can withstand two simultaneous drive failures without
downtime or data loss.
Low Total Cost of
Ownership
The modular, scalable design of the D2000 disk enclosure family provides an extremely flexible platform.
You can buy what you need today and purchase additional capacity as your data storage needs grow,
instead of making a large up-front investment. Additional drives and enclosures can be easily added as
your needs dictate.
Cascading
- The D2700 has the unique capability of cascading up to two (2) enclosures behind a
single SAS port (depends on the Smart Array Controller). The D2600 has the capability of cascading
up to four (4) enclosures behind a single SAS port (depends on the Smart Array Controller).
Pre-Failure Warranty
- Drives installed in either the D2600 or the D2700 and monitored under HP
Systems Insight Manager are supported by a Pre-Failure (replacement) Warranty (3 years for SAS
drives). Pre-Failure Warranty allows for the replacement of designated drives in the D2600 or the
D2700 before they actually fail when using HP Systems Insight Manager on HP ProLiant servers.
NOTE:
Some operating systems may not support all of these features.
Integrated Configuration and Management Tools
- The D2000 family utilizes the standard,
integrated set of Smart Array management and utility software for HP ProLiant Servers. These tools
consistently lower the cost of ownership by reducing training and technical expertise necessary to
install and maintain HP server storage.
