Product Technology	4 Gb Fibre Channel	Two host ports per controller, shipped with SFPs. the MSA2000fc G2 controller
	technology	can run in either point-to-point or FCAL (loop). The default is FCAL which is
		used in Direct Connect, particularly with two controllers. The PtP (fabric) mode
		is used with almost all switches.
	Modular Chassis	2U rack height. 12 Large Form Factor or 24 Small Form Factor drive bays,
		accommodating SAS and SATA. Comes with space for one or two controllers,
		or MSA2000 3.5-inch disk Enclosure I/O modules (LFF chassis only)
	Drives available	The new MSA2000fc G2 controller supports either the MSA2 3.5-inch Large
		Form Factor (LFF) drives, or the HP ProLiant 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF)
		drive
		Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) enterprise-class drives designed for high volume,
		24x7 usage. Serial-ATA (SATA) are usually reserved for archival of data as
		they are both relatively inexpensive and are available in very large capacities.
		The MSA2000 family of arrays can accommodate both SAS and SATA drives
		within the same enclosure making it ideal to have both business-critical, high
		activity files on SAS drives while using Snapshot or clone capability to keep
		back-up or archival data on the less expensive drives.
		For investment protection, the MSA2300fc G2 controller will support single
