The NetApp FAS2240 (and the closely related FAS2220) is a compact, entry-level/mid-range unified storage controller from NetApp’s FAS2000 series, released around 2011–2012. It is a 2U rack-mountable dual-controller system designed for small to medium businesses, remote offices, and departmental deployments.

The FAS2240 / FAS2220 is a unified storage platform that supports both block (iSCSI, FC, FCoE) and file (NFS, CIFS/SMB) protocols in a single system. It comes with dual active/active controllers for high availability and uses ONTAP operating system.

Key hardware characteristics of the FAS2240:

  • 2U chassis with 24 × 2.5" SFF or 12 × 3.5" LFF drive bays (model dependent)
  • Dual controllers (active/active HA pair)
  • Onboard ports: 4 × 1 GbE + 2 × 10 GbE (or 8 Gb FC depending on configuration)
  • Expansion: Supports external disk shelves (DS2246, DS4243, etc.)
  • Performance: Suitable for light to moderate workloads — virtualization, file sharing, backup targets, small databases, VDI, etc.

The FAS2220 is the lower-end variant with slightly reduced performance and port options compared to the FAS2240, but they share the same chassis and many components.
