HP Nimble Storage HF40C SAN Storage System, 21 TB HDD, 23.04 TB SSD

Keep production storage responsive while extending the same platform into backup and disaster recovery. The HPE Nimble Storage HF40C SAN Storage System is built for environments that need flash performance without giving up the economics of hybrid storage. With 21 TB of installed HDD capacity, 23.04 TB of installed SSD capacity, and 64 GB of RAM, it is sized for mixed workloads that demand predictable access and dependable recovery paths. This 4U, rack-mountable array includes 2 controllers, RAID support, and 24 total bays to balance capacity, resilience, and serviceability. 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with RJ-45 and iSCSI support fits into established storage networks without forcing a redesign of the fabric. Four expansion slots and SFP+ support add room for growth where higher-speed uplinks are required. For teams that need one platform to serve both primary storage and secondary flash use cases, this model offers a practical way to consolidate infrastructure while preserving performance headroom. It is a stronger fit than entry-level storage when uptime, recovery speed, and workload separation matter.
