HPE Storage Enclosures

HPE storage enclosures help expand storage capacity for HPE ProLiant servers, BladeSystems, and MSA arrays. These storage enclosures are therefore ideal in providing storage expansion for a small business, or can be used in significant quantity in a demanding data centre environments and anything in between. 

At ITinStock, we stock a range of high-quality new and refurbished HPE storage enclosures, from the compact HPE D3000 Series (D3610 and D3710) through to the high-capacity HPE MSA2060 Disk Enclosures.

The Benefits of HPE Storage Enclosures

HPE storage enclosures work natively alongside HPE ProLiant servers, as well as BladeSystem's and Apollo environments.

Different HPE storage enclosures have different benefits, depending on your business needs. For example, the high-density D6000 enclosure supports up to 70 hot-pluggable drives in just 5U of rack space, making it one of the most space-efficient expansion solutions available. Meanwhile, HPE D3000 and D6000 enclosures support a mix of SAS, SATA, and SSDs within the same chassis, allowing you to create a tiered storage solution without the need to purchase separate enclosures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are HPE storage enclosures compatible with existing HPE ProLiant servers?
HPE D3000 enclosures are compatible with HPE ProLiant Gen10, Gen10+, and Gen11 servers when used with a supported HPE Smart Array SAS Controller or SAS HBA, such as the Smart Array E208e-p SR Gen10 or P408e-p SR Gen10. They are also compatible with HPE Apollo, and StoreEasy systems using the same controllers. The D6000 series is designed for use with HPE ProLiant Gen8 and later servers. When you order from ITinStock, our team will verify compatibility against your host server and controller before dispatch to avoid any integration issues on arrival.

Can I mix different drive types in an HPE storage enclosure?
Yes. One of the key advantages of HPE D3000 and D6000 enclosures is their support for mixed drive configurations. You can populate a single enclosure with a combination of SAS HDDs, SATA HDDs, and Solid State Drives, enabling straightforward tiered storage implementations. For example, you could use high-speed SAS SSDs for your most latency-sensitive workloads while filling remaining bays with cost-effective SATA HDDs for bulk data and backups. At ITinStock we can configure your storage with the drive setup that best matches your performance and capacity requirements, so simply let us know your specifications when you order.

How many HPE D3000 enclosures can I daisy-chain together?
The HPE D3610 and D3710 enclosures support cascading of up to eight enclosures from a single x4 SAS controller port. For the D3610 LFF model, that means you can connect up to 96 drives in total from a single host controller, which is a significant capacity expansion without the need to add additional controller cards. This daisy-chaining approach is one of the most cost-efficient ways to scale DAS capacity in an HPE ProLiant environment, and it requires no specialist SAN infrastructure or Fibre Channel networking to implement.

What testing do you do for refurbished HPE enclosures?
All refurbished HPE storage enclosures from ITinStock are thoroughly tested prior to dispatch. Our engineers inspect and verify all drive bays, SAS backplane connections, redundant power supply units, and cooling systems to ensure the unit meets its original performance specifications. Each enclosure ships with warranty coverage included as standard, with extended warranty options available for organisations that require longer coverage periods or enhanced support levels. We are confident in the quality of every unit we supply, which stems from rigorous testing prior to delivery.

Does ITinStock offer warranty on refurbished IT equipment?
Yes. All our refurbished IT equipment - servers, storage, networking and components, are thoroughly inspected and tested before dispatch to make sure they function as intended. In the event that any equipment develops a fault or arrives damaged through no fault of the customer, we offer a 3-year warranty on all refurbished equipment covering repair or replacement. Please speak with our account managers and customer service team for full warranty terms and conditions.
