NetApp FAS6070 Unified Storage System with Dual Controllers: This is a 6U enterprise unified storage controller chassis featuring two storage controllers and 16 base 4Gb/sec Fibre Channel ports, with scaling up to 1,008 drives and 2,016TB raw capacity. The FAS6070 is a storage controller head, not a full populated array; expansion shelves and drives are sold separately. Refurbished and tested.
Engineering Context: The system runs Data ONTAP and supports unified file and block protocols. Maximum memory is 64GB. Supported drive types include Fibre Channel, SAS, NL-SAS, SATA, and SSD/Flash, in 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch form factors. RAID protection options are RAID 4 and RAID-DP (RAID 6). Front-side host connectivity is delivered over 4 Gbps Fibre Channel and 10 GbE ports.
Deployment & Use Cases: Designed for consolidated file and block storage in enterprise data centers, virtualization (NFS or block) backends, large-scale CIFS file services, mixed-workload environments needing both NAS and SAN, and lab/secondary deployments where a 6U head with FC + 10GbE host ports and large drive scale is required.

Compatibility & Constraints: The FAS6070 head requires compatible NetApp disk shelves (DS14mk2 / DS14mk4 generation typical) and a supported Data ONTAP release for the platform. It is a controller head only – drives, shelves, optics, and Data ONTAP licensing are not included unless explicitly listed. NetApp third-party support availability varies by region; first-party NetApp warranty does not transfer with refurbished hardware.
