Dell PowerVault MD1120 DAS Storage Arrays
The Dell PowerVault MD1120 direct attached storage (DAS) enclosure is a 3Gb/s SAS modular disk storage expansion enclosure for users looking to support growing e-mail, backup to disk, video streaming and other capacity intensive applications. With support for both high performance SAS and high-capacity economical SATA drives, the MD1120 is an excellent choice for tiered storage.
The PowerVault MD1120 is also highly scalable, with capacity of up to 24TB per enclosure, and the ability to daisy chain up to 6 enclosures per PERC 6/E (3 enclosures per port, single path) or up to 3 enclosures per PERC 6/E with redundancy for increased fault tolerance (3 enclosures connected to both ports via redundant path cabling). The MD1120 is also capable of splitting between 2 hosts, providing storage economy for smaller environments.
