| Effective maximum | n/a |
| Data reduction | n/a |
| Protection | RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, MSA-DP+ |
| Protection note | RAID 0 supported for SSD read cache only; MSA-DP+ uses distributed spare capacity and erasure coding for fast rebuilds; Remote Snap is array-based asynchronous replication |
| Performance and connectivity | |
| Maximum IOPS | n/a |
| Maximum throughput | n/a |
| Latency | n/a |
| Conditions | Up to 2x IOPS and 30% more bandwidth vs MSA Gen6 (no absolute figures published). 48 GB data cache + system memory per array; max SSD read cache 8.34 TB (7.6 TiB). 4 host ports per controller. power_w = upper end of typical running-I/O power (289-361 W). Volumes up to 128 TiB; 2 pools of 4 PiB addressable each. The QuickSpecs 7.37 PB array maximum relies on 15.36/30.72 TB SED SSDs, which the 2072 does not support, so no 2072-specific raw maximum is given. |
