This Dell PowerVault MD1420 is a 2U storage array populated with twelve 600GB 15K SAS hard drives. Together they give 7.2TB raw, occupying twelve bays of the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis and leaving twelve free.
Behind the drives sit two SAS enclosure management modules and dual 600W power supplies. The configuration also lists a rack rail kit.
The PowerVault MD1420 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 24-bay 2.5-inch shelf of capacity without replacing the host. Usable space depends on the RAID level chosen for the twelve drives.
Against an all-flash MD1420 build, this configuration favours capacity over latency. Raw capacity is twice that of a smaller MD1420 build.
This certified refurbished array has been inspected and bench-tested in Johannesburg, with any stored data wiped.
