Overview:
The Dell™ PowerVault™ MD1000 - MD3000 - and MD3000i are modular disk storage expansion enclosures for PowerEdge servers. The PowerVault MD1000 is capable of housing up to 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 internal RAID array - the modular enclosure can be daisy chained for scaling disk performance and capacity. The PERC 6/E enables up to three 15-drive SAS disk enclosures—a total of 45 drives—to be daisy chained to a single host connection - delivering an extended total capacity of 90TB when using 2TB disk drives. Alternatively - the enclosures 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. Furthermore - the enclosures disk drives - power supplies and cooling modules are hot-pluggable so they can be replaced while the system stays up-and-running.
