Our take
The HPE MSA 2050 is a serious piece of hardware for enterprise-level storage needs. With 24 bays and a SAS interface, it's designed for high-density, high-performance environments, typical of a modular SAN array. The inclusion of two controllers indicates redundancy and robust management capabilities, essential for critical data. It's a fully managed system, offering granular control over your storage. It's important to note that this is an enclosure only, so you'll need to factor in the cost of 24 hard drives, which will significantly increase the overall investment beyond the $864.75 price. Clearly built for demanding professional use cases.
