HPE MSA 2060 SAS 12G 2U 24-disk SFF Drive Enclosure

The HPE R0Q40B is a 2U drive enclosure that lets you add up to twenty-four 2.5-inch drives to an existing MSA 2060 storage array. It connects through a 12 Gb/s SAS interface, so additional capacity comes online without slowing down data access or complicating cabling.

Each bay accepts a small form factor drive, giving you freedom to mix performance and capacity drives as your workloads evolve. Whether you are growing a virtualization cluster, adding room for database growth, or carving out a larger backup target, the enclosure scales storage in a way that feels seamless to the operating system and to HPE’s management tools.

The chassis occupies two rack units and slides easily into tight racks. Hot-plug power supplies with 1+1 redundancy keep the enclosure running during maintenance or unexpected failures, and the ENERGY STAR certification helps control long-term power costs in dense data centers.

Setup stays straightforward because two mini SAS HD cables ship in the box. Connect them to the MSA 2060 controller shelf, assign the new drives in the familiar interface, and capacity is ready for use in minutes. Administrators who value predictable performance, straightforward scaling, and efficient power use will find that this enclosure fits naturally into small and midsize IT environments.
