The HPE R0Q78A, part of the HPE MSA 2060 family, is a powerful 2U storage array designed to bring high performance, reliability, and cost efficiency to small and medium-sized businesses as well as remote enterprise branches. As data demands continue to grow—driven by virtualization, database workloads, and application consolidation—organizations need storage systems that deliver speed and scalability without unnecessary complexity. The R0Q78A addresses these needs by providing a flexible platform capable of adapting to changing performance and capacity requirements.
At its core, the R0Q78A is a 12Gb SAS small form factor (SFF) storage array that supports up to 24 drives in a single chassis. This gives businesses the freedom to build storage that fits their needs—whether that means mixing SSDs for high performance or SAS HDDs for large capacity. With support for both performance-oriented and capacity-oriented drive types, the array makes it easy to tailor configurations for databases, virtual machines, backup repositories, or high-availability applications.
Reliability is another major strength of the R0Q78A. Built with dual controllers, redundant power supplies, and hot-swappable components, it is engineered for continuous operation in environments where uptime is essential. These redundant features ensure that maintenance tasks, firmware updates, or component replacements can be done without interrupting business operations. For organizations with mission-critical systems, the MSA 2060 platform provides peace of mind and stable performance even under heavy workloads.
Performance is also a key focus. With its 12Gb SAS architecture, the R0Q78A delivers fast data transfer speeds and reduced latency—ideal for virtualization clusters, transactional databases, and high-I/O applications. The array’s intelligent tiering capabilities automatically move frequently accessed data to faster media, ensuring optimal performance without constant manual tuning by IT staff. This automation helps businesses get more value out of their storage investment while reducing administrative overhead.
Scalability is built into the design as well. As data needs grow, the R0Q78A can be expanded by adding additional drive enclosures, allowing the array to scale into tens of terabytes or even petabytes depending on the configuration. This makes it an excellent long-term solution for organizations that expect data volumes to increase steadily over time.
