Product Features
Technical Overview
At its core, the StoreEasy 1670 is powered by a single Intel Xeon Silver 4309Y processor. This octa-core CPU operates at 2.80 GHz, providing reliable performance for storage processing tasks, data deduplication, and running the Windows Server operating system. The platform is equipped with 32 GB of DDR4 SDRAM, ensuring smooth operation for caching and handling concurrent user or application requests.
Storage management is handled by a 12Gb/s SAS and NVMe capable controller, which supports a comprehensive set of RAID levels including 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60, 1 ADM, and 10 ADM. This allows administrators to configure the storage for optimal performance, capacity, or data protection based on the workload. The system's 28 bays are all 3.5" form factor, suitable for high-capacity hard drives.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the total storage capacity this HPE StoreEasy 1670 can support?
The HPE StoreEasy 1670 supports a maximum raw storage capacity of 560 terabytes. This is achieved by populating its 28 empty 3.5" drive bays with hard drives. The actual usable capacity will be less, depending on the RAID level you configure for data protection, as RAID 5, 6, or other parity-based levels use a portion of the drives for redundancy.
Does this NAS system come with hard drives installed?
No, this particular configuration ships with zero hard drives installed. All 28 of the 3.5" drive bays are empty. This provides maximum flexibility, allowing you to purchase and install the exact type, capacity, and performance class of hard drives or solid-state drives that best suit your project requirements and budget.
What processor and memory does this storage system have?
It is equipped with one Intel Xeon Silver 4309Y processor. This is an octa-core (8-core) CPU with a base clock speed of 2.80 GHz, providing robust processing power for storage operations. The system includes 32 gigabytes of DDR4 SDRAM, which is used by the operating system and for read/write caching to improve overall storage performance.
What RAID levels are supported by the HPE StoreEasy 1670?
The integrated storage controller supports a wide range of RAID levels for data protection and performance. These include standard levels like RAID 0 (striping), 1 (mirroring), 5 (striping with parity), 6 (striping with double parity), 10 (mirrored stripes), 50, and 60. It also supports HPE's Advanced Data Mirroring (ADM) with RAID 1 ADM and 10 ADM, which offer enhanced rebuild capabilities.
What are the network connectivity options?
For network connectivity, the system has two 10 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports. This provides high-speed links to your network backbone, essential for handling large file transfers and supporting multiple concurrent users or servers accessing the storage. The 10GbE capability helps prevent the network from becoming a bottleneck for storage performance.
What is the form factor and rack requirement for this unit?
The HPE StoreEasy 1670 is a rack-mountable storage system with a 2U form factor. This means it occupies 2 units of vertical height (approximately 3.44 inches) in a standard 19-inch wide equipment rack. Its dimensions are 17.63" wide and 33" deep, so you need to ensure your rack has sufficient depth and proper rail support to accommodate it. The approximate weight is 48.35 kg.
What processor or CPU is listed for this server or storage platform?
This product uses the 1 processor for everyday performance and multitasking.
