Manage your small and midrange business growing storage needs by deploying the next generation 6Gb SAS low cost, flexible
tiered external storage system. Ideal for small application environments in SMBs, remote offices and departmental locations as well
as tier 2 or 3 storage for enterprise customers. The new 6Gb SAS enclosures - Large Form Factor (LFF) D2600 with 12 drive bays and
Small Form Factor (SFF) D2700 with 25 drive bays - offer modular solutions to simplify capacity expansion of HP ProLiant server
environments to external storage without having to make the full move to SAN or NAS. This allows you to buy what is needed today
and purchase additional capacity as data storage needs grow.
The D2000 enclosures support direct attach storage to ProLiant Servers with the HP Smart Array P411, P212, P812, P222, P421,
P431, P441, P822 or the P841 Controllers. On HP ProLiant and Integrity servers Dual Domain support is available for the HP Smart

1+0, 5 and RAID 6 with ADG, 50 and 60. Optional battery-backed write cache.
Advanced Data Guarding (RAID 6): This is the highest level of 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.
Distributed Data Guarding (RAID 5): This allocates parity data across multiple drives and
allows simultaneous write operations.
Receive pre-failure alerts with HP SIM. When drives installed in D2000 disk enclosures are
used in conjunction with the P212, P411, P812, P222, P421, P431, P441, P822, P841, P711m,
P721m, P731m or the P741m Smart Array Controller and Systems Insight Manager, the Smart
Array firmware in HP hard drives enables extensive fault prediction capabilities. If potential
problems develop in one of the drives, the Smart Array Controller, Systems Insight Manager
and/or Smart hard disk drive lets you know in advance so you can have the drive replaced,
before it fails, under warranty.
Remove / replace/ add components when system is running without service disruption with
hot Plug drives, power and cooling
Redundant power and cooling provides increased reliability as failure of a power supply or
fans does not interrupt system functioning
Dual domain SAS creates redundant pathways from servers to storage devices. The
redundant paths created by these configurations reduce or eliminate single points of failure
within the storage network. This provides increased levels of high availability with redundant
paths from the controller to the drives. Dual domain SAS implementations make it possible to
tolerate host bus adapter (HBA) failure, external cable failure, expander failure, failure in a
spanned disk (JBOD) environments.
D2000 Enclosure Components
c04111697— DA – 13404 Worldwide — Version 48 — September 4, 2015
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 72 TB with 6G 6 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.
