HPE R0Q78B

Overview

The HPE R0Q78B is a Small Form Factor storage chassis from the MSA 2060 series designed to deliver enterprise-grade storage capabilities to small and medium-sized businesses. It features dual 4-port 12 Gb SAS controllers that create two independent data paths to each drive, ensuring continuous data flow and reliable access for virtual machines, databases, and departmental file shares. With support for up to 24 TB SAS drives, this chassis offers increased raw capacity and scalable performance to meet evolving storage demands.

Key features

• Dual 4-port 12 Gb SAS controllers provide redundant data paths and balanced throughput to maintain consistent performance even if one path fails.
• Small Form Factor design optimizes rack space while supporting high-density storage configurations.
• Capacity expands by approximately twenty percent when using the latest 24 TB SAS 12 G hard drives, allowing for longer upgrade cycles.
• Gen6 Flash Bundle enables cost-effective flash acceleration within the same chassis, improving latency and overall responsiveness.
• Performance scales up to 395,000 IOPS, helping applications complete tasks faster without requiring a full all-flash array.
• Simple deployment and management make it suitable for IT generalists supporting branch offices, remote sites, or growing on-premises environments.
• Compatible with existing 12 Gb SAS infrastructures, facilitating smooth transitions from direct-attached to shared storage without new network investments.
• Expandable with additional shelves, drive options, and controller upgrades to protect initial investments and adapt to changing project needs.

Key specs

Connectivity and compatibility

This storage chassis integrates seamlessly into existing 12 Gb SAS environments, allowing servers currently using SAS for direct-attached storage to upgrade to shared storage without requiring new network fabrics. The dual-controller design ensures compatibility with a wide range of SAS drives and supports expansion shelves for increased capacity and performance.

Ideal uses and environments

The HPE R0Q78B fits well in environments where reliable, high-throughput storage is essential but space is limited. It is a strong choice for small to medium businesses, branch offices, and remote sites that need dependable storage for virtualized workloads, databases, backup targets, or content repositories. Its scalable architecture supports growing data needs and performance demands without forcing costly infrastructure overhauls.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
