Dell PowerVault

PowerVault is a line of data storage and backup products from Dell.

After Dell acquired EqualLogic for its iSCSI products in 2008, and Compellent Technologies in 2011, the PowerVault line was positioned as less expensive than the other product lines.[1]

MD1220

2U up to 24 drives, 6 Gbit/s SAS.[5]

MD1280

5U, up to 84 drives, 6 Gbit/s SAS. It can hold 672 TB raw when fully populated with 8 TB hard drives.[6]

MD1400 and MD1420

The MD1400 and MD1420 are identical units except that the 1400 holds 12 drives while the 1420 holds 24.[7]

2U, 12 Gbit/s. Uses PERC9 series controllers (e.g. H330, H730, H830).[8]

The MD1400 supports up to 12 drives in a single chassis, while the 1420 supports 20 drives. The 1400 can be either 3.5" or 2.5" drives while the 1420 can only take 2.5". Up to eight of these enclosures can be connected to a single PowerEdge server.[7]

This unit is no longer sold directly by Dell. It supports being connected up to four PowerEdge servers simultaneously via dedicated iSCSI gigabit ethernet ports, as well as running as network attached storage via two other gigabit ethernet ports which allows it to support up to 16 Linux or Windows servers. The dual redundant on-board hardware RAID controllers have 512 megabytes of cache RAM. It would accept up to 15 3.5" SAS drives, and had dual power supplies. It also could serve as a controller for up to two MD1000 units, resulting in a total drive count of 45. 3 Gbit/s SAS or SATA.[9][10]

MD3060e
