The MD1420 offers:
- Supports up to 2 EMM Modules for redunantcy.
- Hold two 600W PSU's
- Has two Modes, Unified Single Path and Redundant Path
- 4 mini-SAS HD connector for connection to the host or expansion
The MD1420 offer low-cost storage expansion with double the bandwidth using 12Gbps SAS connectivity to support your growing application workloads.
RAID Controllers:
The intelligence of the Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) H830 or H840 HostRAID adapter, which enables the software to recognize all of your storage as a single unit, helps increase reliability and fault tolerance. You can place up to eight MD enclosures behind a PowerEdge server using a 12Gb SAS HBA or the PERC9 series with a 12Gb RAID controller.
Designed for capacity and performance
The MD Series offers the versatility needed to meet both your storage capacity and performance requirements. The MD1400 and MD1420 models are specifically designed to work with the latest PowerEdge servers using the PERC H830 or H840 RAID controllers with 12Gbps SAS offering unmatched I/O performance for database applications, streaming digital media environments, and storage-intensive applications.
Seamless integration and management
Leveraging the technology and design of PowerEdge servers, the MD1400 and the MD1420 use the same hot-swappable drives, fans, and power supplies to minimize the cost of spares. If drive security is a priority, the option to use self-encrypted drives (SED) with drive-level encryption ensures your data is secure, even if the drive is removed. Additionally, SEDs support instant Secure Erase of drives which permanently removes data when repurposing or decommissioning drives.
When combined with Dell’s storage-optimized PowerEdge servers and the new MD Series of expansion enclosures, you have an affordable direct-attached storage option in Microsoft environments.
