HP Nimble Storage HF40C 21 TB SAN Array

Sustain critical storage services across primary workloads, backup, and disaster recovery with an adaptive flash array designed to do more than hold data. The HPE Nimble Storage HF40C combines 21 x HDD installed for 21 TB of capacity with 6 x SSD installed for 8.64 TB of flash acceleration, giving infrastructure teams a balanced platform for mixed workload performance and backup data reuse. Built for rack environments that demand density and serviceability, this 4U system includes 24 total bays, RAID support, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and iSCSI connectivity over RJ-45. The result is a SAN platform that can support efficient storage consolidation without forcing a tradeoff between capacity and responsiveness. Its SFP+ expansion slot support adds flexibility for network design, while the rack-mountable form factor fits standard enterprise deployment patterns. For teams evaluating storage by uptime, access speed, and operational fit, this model stands apart from entry-level arrays by pairing flash and disk in a single architecture. It is a practical choice when backup, DR, and production workloads all need to stay online and accessible.
