Dell PowerVault MD1000 DAS Storage Arrays

The Dell PowerVault MD1000 is a 3GB/s SAS modular disk storage expansion enclosure for PowerEdge servers, capable of housing up to fifteen (15) 3.5-inch disk drives in a single 3U rackable chassis. The direct-attached storage enclosure supports both Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial ATA (SATA) disk drives to give customers extensive configuration and optimization flexibility. When used in combination with a host-based Dell PowerEdge RAID controller (PERC) or a PowerVault MD3000/MD3000i internal RAID array, the modular enclosure can be daisy chained for scaling disk performance and capacity.

Alternatively, the enclosure’s disk drives can be split between two servers with up to eight drives assigned to one server and up to seven drives assigned to a second server. The versatility of the PowerVault MD1000 enables you to configure the specific combination of storage resources you need now, and add more storage volume later, while ensuring life-cycle and usability of your hardware for the long-term.
