Dell PowerVault MD1400 2U Storage Array — 6× 4TB 7.2K SAS, 12-Bay LFF, Dual SAS EMMs

Configured with six 4TB 7.2K SAS hard drives, this Dell PowerVault MD1400 is a 2U storage array for direct-attached expansion storage. Together they give 24TB raw in six bays of the 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis, so six remain open for expansion.

Behind the drives sit two SAS enclosure management modules (4-port 12Gbps SAS each) and dual 600W power supplies. You also get a rack rail kit.

The PowerVault MD1400 is a direct-attached expansion shelf: its two SAS enclosure management modules link to a SAS host bus adapter or external RAID controller in the server, adding a 12-bay 3.5-inch shelf of capacity without replacing the host. Usable space depends on the RAID level chosen for the six drives. With a redundant pair of supplies, each can sit on its own power circuit. With two enclosure management modules, the shelf can be cabled to two host ports for redundant paths.

Raw capacity is twice that of a smaller MD1400 build.

Condition is certified refurbished, and each array is inspected, bench-tested and wiped in Johannesburg.
