• 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 HPE SIM. When drives installed in D2000 disk enclosures are

the Smart Array firmware in HPE 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.

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 HPE Systems Insight Manager are supported by a Pre-Failure (replacement) Warranty

These tools consistently lower the cost of ownership by reducing training and technical
expertise necessary to install and maintain HPE server storage.
