Dell announced the DellTM PowerVaultTM MD1120, its first storage expansion enclosure designed with small form factor 2.5-inch disk drives. The Dell PowerVault MD1120 affords its customers higher performance through faster access to stored data, improved power efficiency through reduced power consumption and higher data center density through a compact package.
The PowerVault MD1120 features 24 small form factor drives that require 70 percent less space and up to 50 percent less power than models featuring 3.5-inch drives. This results in a fully populated enclosure providing more than twice the IOPS per U over traditional 3.5-inch drive enclosures. Equipped with high-efficiency power supplies and the power-efficient 2.5-inch disk drives, the PowerVault MD1120 can reduce overall data center power consumption. It is to provide additional storage for Dell's PowerEdge servers, shares a common disk drive with select Dell servers - resulting in simpler management and reduced cost of stocking spare parts. When attached to Dell's PowerEdge RAID Controller, the PowerVault MD1120 can scale to six enclosures and house up to 144 drives. Its drives are connected to a fast, 3Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, making the PowerVault MD1120 an ideal entry-level enclosure for supporting business-critical applications such as e-mail, database, and online transaction processing.
