MSA is entry level Storage and MSA 2050 designed with 6G backend speed only.
As per my understanding product document covers the same as well. Also supported additional drive enclosure interface type 6g as well.
HPE says 12g backend speed drives supported but that doesn't mean mandatory to use. These 12g drives can be use in higher end arrays as well. You can always go for 6g backend speed drives for your MSA2050
Did you verified with your reseller before purchasing MSA 2050 that backend speed 6g or 12g? or did you refered any product document where it was mentioned MSA2050 backend speed will be 12g ?
Hope this helps!
