Dell PowerVault MD1420 – 24-Bay 2.5″ 12G SAS Direct-Attach Storage Array (Dual Controller, Dual PSU)
The Dell PowerVault MD1420 is a flexible and high-capacity enterprise storage expansion enclosure designed to scale your server’s storage with industry-standard performance, reliability, and manageability. It’s ideal for environments that require direct-attached shared storage — including virtualization hosts, backup targets, media streaming workloads, and data-intensive applications.
Built to seamlessly integrate with Dell PowerEdge servers and compatible SAS RAID controllers (such as PERC H830/H840 or SAS HBAs), the MD1420 provides robust storage connectivity with 24 hot-pluggable 2.5″ drive bays and 12 Gb/s SAS throughput. The dual controllers and redundant power supplies ensure continuous uptime and high availability in demanding data center environments.
Key Features:
¤ Form Factor: 2U rack-mount enclosure
¤ Drive Bays: Up to 24 × 2.5″ hot-swappable SAS/NL-SAS/SSD drives supported
¤ Scalability: Expandable up to 8 enclosures (up to 192 drive slots) with compatible SAS host connection
¤ Connectivity: 12 Gb/s SAS with dual 4-port mini-SAS HD connections per controller
¤ Controllers: Redundant dual SAS controllers for high availability
¤ Power: 2 × 600 W redundant AC power supplies
¤ Supported RAID Levels: 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 (when paired with compatible RAID controllers)
¤ Unified Management: Integrates with Dell OpenManage and server management tools
¤ Drive Types Supported: SAS, SSD, and optional self-encrypting drives for security
¤ Mounting: Rack-mount ready with ready rails or bracket kits
Why It Matters:
The MD1420 is ideal for organizations that need large, scalable storage directly attached to their servers — without the complexity or cost of full SAN infrastructure. With flexibility to mix HDDs and SSDs, high-speed 12 Gb/s connectivity, and support for hundreds of terabytes of raw capacity, it’s perfect for accelerating performance in virtualized environments, business applications, big data storage pools, and archival systems.
Use Cases:
¤ Expansion storage for Dell PowerEdge servers
¤ Virtualization hosts and clustered environments
¤ High-capacity nearline storage
