I hope the following MSA2050 Quickspec document will help you,
https://h20195.www2.hpe.com/v2/getdocument.aspx?docname=a00008276enw
It is possible to scale an MSA up to a total of 8 enclosures including the array head itself. This means connecting to it up to seven LFF or SFF enclosures or even a mix of the two, so to offer a total of either 96 LFF drives, or 192 SFF drives.
Note that as the MSA 2050 SFF enclosure have 24 drive slots rather than the 25 of the D2700, that the total drive count is currently 192 rather than 199 drives. However, if upgrading an existing configuration utilizing D2700 enclosures, then 199 drives are still supported.
Hope this helps!
