The HPE MSA 1050 is an entry-level SAN array built around two 12Gb SAS controllers in a small form factor chassis. Each controller has two SAS host ports, so you get four host links and dual-path redundancy without buying SFPs. It ships as a chassis and controller kit only, with no drives, so you populate it with 2.5-inch SAS drives yourself. It suits small and mid-size offices that want shared block storage for a handful of servers on a tight budget, and it is simpler than a full enterprise SAN but less flexible than a unified array that also serves file and object storage.
